Wintery wonderland

















Firstly I would like to apologise for my lack of concordance with the blogging world, I'm very sorry. Whilst I haven't entirely been depleted of the internet, I have been trying to focus on study catch up.












Earlier in the winter season, I decided to pack the old toboggen and hit the slopes for a few days!
It was the most magnificant weather, despite the lack of snow...
It was just so remarkable seeing the mountains surrounding you, with the smell of crisp, fresh air! It made me realise how much I missed hot steamy chips and mulled wine!









Other than the snow trip, back home, winter has meant early nights, cold starts, hot water bottles, hot tea and copious layers of wool!- home comfort!







Not many weeks left of winter now... and then we start to hear the birdies chirping and the sun welcoming the day!

However now, it is a time to catch up on my studies, plan dates with friends and soak up the last memories of winter 2010.

JUST MOI
