Back to life, back to reality...

Just popping in quickly to say a belated hello and Happy Easter to all in Blogland! We arrived home late last night from a week skiing in Norway.


A much, much-needed little break, lots of sunshine and warm April temperatures atop snow still ripe for skiing.




Above you can see Little Flower on the left, and Bunny further down the hill on the right, having their first skiing lessons. By the third day both were whizzing down the baby slope...


...and Bunny even joined me on the bigger slopes! It was so warm that winter jackets were shed at the top of the mountain.

But now I must attend to the unpacking, the sorting, the food shopping, and these unquestionably less exciting mountains:


I am winding my way through the Post-Holiday Mountain Range. I definitely prefer the mountains in Norway!

Back soon to tell you more, and to catch up on all your blogs!

  2. Looks like you had a much needed break and a great time with your family. Unfortunately there is always the downside of piles of washing once you get home.

  10. How wonderful, sounds like a gorgeous break. Hard to come back to normality with a bump but at least you'll have lovely memories to day dream on as you load the yawning beast (washing machine).

  12. AAGGHH so jealous. Andy and I used to ski every year, maybe even twice when we were both working and child free. We were going to go this year for our 40th birthdays but chickened out on taking the children and thought it would be too much hard work while they are small. i would love to here more please....

  17. 'Post-holiday mountain range' - I love that!

    Glad you had such a super time. Isn't it wonderful how quickly children take to skiing? Oh to be able to bottle that confidence.

  18. It looks fabulous Chrissie, glad you had such a wonderful time and hope you feel rested, despite the 'post-holiday mountain range'. Brings you back down to earth with such a bump doesn't it?

  22. Oooohh - you were in Norway?? How exciting! I would love to go there (but not to ski - I can't ski but would quite happily sit in a nearby bar and drink hot chocolate while watching). I'd love to know what you thought of the place. It looks like a fab holiday, anyway. We haven't been away but I still seem to have a washing mountain, how is that possible? xx

  23. Gorgeous views. I'm with Gillian on this one though - nice to look at with a hot cocoa but not to whizz down! x
