Possibly....

Not the best choice of book to take on a skiing holiday, but a fascinating read all the same.

Today was a day of thick cloud rolling up and down the mountains, making skiing almost impossible. We skied blind to a restaurant where we drank vin chaud, waiting for a break in the weather. It didn't happen.

Those of you who ski, will know how disorientating it can be in the fog, all contours are lost, it is impossible to see the edge of the run or any steep drops off the piste. It is also tiring due to the intense concentration needed. However the lure of afternoon tea and cake helped us to get back - eventually.

1919? some of you enquired after yesterday's back blip!
Yes 1919 - making him 94 years old! I will write further about him next week.
