Arnica et al....

Catching up today, Sunday is still the same on the other side of the pond.
Friday was ski day! No one on the slopes, no lines and easy snow on groomed runs. I, of course, enjoy the wide  'piste', lots of room for grace and beautiful turns. The others, Sam, Norm, Toby, Kenzie and Meg, were more interested in finding the black diamond run. Stem Christies for me......really my legs we just hurting! We were skiing at La Faucille, a small resort in the Jura mountains. Not B.C., but still bigger than the east coast. Some cloud, some sun and some falling snow. I was glad of the lift to rest my legs, been a long time since I have hit the slopes, it was like riding a bike though. I loved it.


Saturday was a trip to Nyon, in Switzerland. We have all been there before, both families, and it was wonderful to feel the sense of understanding as we relived our memories.  "I remember that" "me too, we saw that when the kids were little"  What a wonderful way to start this trip, comfort and recognition for all of us. We are getting our travel legs in a very familiar place ( OK, I can't believe I just a said that, imagine us and all our kids feeling familiar with places overseas! Lucky lucky lucky) The sun was out and it's beginning to feel like spring.

Saturday night was another event in the festival of my birthday year. Tim brought out the good wine and we had a feast of Indian food from a fantastic local restaurant. Honoured to have him with us for a short time, lots of love.

Now, as I hobble around thinking of hot baths and reliving the last few days, my smile continues.
