Looked out of the kitchen window this morning - when there was eventually enough light! The hill at Fitful was totally covered in snow!! Pity I had to go to work.

The last time I played in the snow was in August believe it or not. Consort & I were 10 or 11 thousand feet up on a glacier in the Alps, making snowballs. Loved the cable cars, felt a bit like flying - especially when you shot out over a huge precipice, catching a glimpse of 2 eagles flying by us just several feet away.

Many of the mountain roads were not for the faint-hearted as they wound their way up to little Austrian alpine villages.

We also took an 100 year old steam engine up to a beautiful lake at Achensee. The train had open carriages & the conductor went from carriage to carriage by walking along boards on the OUTSIDE of the carriages. On the lake we took a boat that acted as a bus around the different lakeside villages.

On 1 evening we went to an outdoor concert of a local youth orchestra. As they played, 2 girls in Tirolean custome came around dishing out helpins of Schnapps. Very welcome!
