Look! We went up a mountain!


Yes, that's us, the idiots in cycling gear! His 'n' hers! (Actually, the non-breathable plastic makes it very warm, if a bit unhygienic...and it's loads cheaper than actual skiwear!)

We made it to the snow at last. Too logistically impossible and expensive to ski, but we thought let's sledge! Emma would love that!

I don't think so! said Emma. We put her on a sledge where she screamed and screamed until we got back to the nice warm restaurant, a glass of Rivella and a plastic straw - brilliant!

She could have bathed in a gold-tiled swimming pool of Rivella for the same price as the cable car up the mountain, but never mind: the views were spectacular and it was great to be out.

Glorymouse only woke up once a night for 3 nights in a row, too! Hurray for mountain air!

Has this post got too many exclamation marks in it?! I don't know what's come over me!

Oooh, looks beautiful, and what an idyliic little family group. Here spring has FINALLY arrived and I'm wondering when I am going to take a leaf out of the daffodils' book and actually produce something beautiful from this enormous bulb on my front. Hubby has arrived in time for birth-related abuse, hooray, now it's time for the hot curries.

the two year olds I was with loved it, but the trick is to put you and her on the sled together! Really they love it like that and can hold onto you for comfort and support.
