Here's another cute photo

Look at that handsome man! Look at those lovely girls! Go "ooo" and "ahhh" at those matching pink snowsuits!

Yes, we've just been in the mountains for a holiday. You see that patch of snow there? It's about all the snow there is left in the Alps after the mildest winter for a gazillion years.

Notice how both girls are not wearing gloves. I got told off by two sets of cross-country skiers about this. (Maybe they were feeling crabby because of the lack of snow.) For the record, I do try and make them wear gloves, but they always get removed within a few minutes and after that I give up. Perhaps the reason they always have colds is because they are permanently underdressed.

All this mountain heartiness has made me feel a bit more upbeat in my soul, and I have a date with a new English-speaking Mum's group on Wednesday. I will let you know how it goes.
