What a difference a day makes...yet again!

The perfect weather yesterday only lasted one day - this morning it was snowing big flakes which turned to rain by midday. I had already decided not to ski as I hate skiing in this kind of weather, where there is no visibility and the snow flakes sting your face as you are skiing down the pistes. Everyone else went up the mountain quite early, and Thomas has actually spent the day racing in a local ski club competition. I felt bad not to go watch but one tends to stand for hours on the side of the slope to see them racing down the course which takes all of about 3 minutes. He had friends racing so he was having a good time despite the weather today.

The weather is expected to stay like this until next week :(

I don't really mind the weather and am just enjoying spending some family time together. Next month Gavin starts his arduous travel schedule again, I think he has a trip to Australia nearly every month until the end of the year, and as other Brits know, it is an awfully long journey from London.

This is the view of the village with the low cloud and rain.
