| There's an austerity to the natural beauty of the mountains.... |
 |
| That takes some getting used to... |
 |
| But, dear reader, I'm delighted to tell this blog that I climbed into a pair of skiing boots, and gave the thing a respectable try, somewhere near the bottom of this mountain. |
 |
| At first it was tricky... |
 |
| But I'm assured I did pretty well. |
 |
| Inwardly, I'm also glad that no video footage exists... |

| Here is the Raphy in his element. Watching him career down steep slopes put me in mind of the Beeb's Ski Sunday, which I often sat glued to as a child. Oh, yes, I was the original 10-year-old armchair expert on a whole range of sports. A regular little pundit prodigy. People listened to me. Its a wonder that I somehow remained beneath the radar of Grandstand and Match of the Day, but, ours is not to question why... |
Speaking of Ski Sunday, it had (still has?) the chippiest, most invigorating theme music - (brilliant theme tunes are something a favourite blogger of mine, designer and writer Kate Davies, had us all musing over lately)
Enjoy!

Your blog is cool! You're soooo lucky that you get to ski! I envy you.
ReplyDeleteHi Rochelle, like your blog too. These photos are stunning, well done for trying it out
ReplyDeleteThanks, I confess I was a little out of my comfort zone. But I dig the speed element. I can see how its a major thrill for the pros.
