Back in Blighty

After a week eating mainly baguettes, tomatoes, olives, pate, comte and necking copious amounts of vino from the Languedoc, I am now back across the pond.

Made it up to Grantown last night to experience a proper Scottish new year...fab street party with great music and fireworks - well worth the drive :-)

Needless to say, it was a bit of a late start today...in fact it was well into the afternoon before Di and I headed out...

Headtorches, moral fibre, and lots of warm clothes were the order of the day (or late-afternoon)....as well as good edges on the old ski's to cope with the bullet 'ard icy stuff.

Grand day out though!
