Shady man, cross-country skiing!

Üntil 15 February the village here does not get the sun! This valley, where we (this skier is my husband, David) love to go cross-country skiing. It holds its snow for a long time because of that, even though it is at quite a low altitude. Today the tracks were perfect but the temperatures were -10 degrees centigrade, so we really enjoyed a hot lunch at the farmhouse. The village is Pont de Nant, near yesterday's icicles blip which seems to have appealed to some blippers' macabre sense of humour!

The backdrop of the Vare valley is much more spectacular large.
