Hello ............... I've been lying low with a nasty cough and cold the last week............... Today is the first day I've felt I'm getting back to normal............ But enough of that............... I want to take you on a little journey...................

.................. On a chair lift....................

........................Imagine you're sitting comfortably, your skis resting on the foot support.......... You're on a chair lift, and it's swaying gently as you glide along, not a care in the world............... other than thoughts of which route you will ski down the mountain...................

................. Blue, red............. or BLACK run? Which one to ski...........

............... There's something about riding on a chair lift, or anything suspended in the air............ it's an ethereal experience................

........................ Conversation is often suspended too........... the view can render you speechless...................

.........................

.......................

...................... This is our shadow........ everyone was raising their arms in the air................ just before disembarking...............

..................To ski down the mountain...................

........... Here's Hugo about to set off..................

......... And this strange looking person is me.............. it looks sunny and warm, but that day, the wind-chill factor made the temperature extremely cold................. It's just over a week ago we were skiing, but it now seems like some hedonistic, far-away dream .................. Happy, happy memories!
