A Little Bit of Nature......For Jeffrey
It’s school holidays again and we are going to Fidjeland. It sounds exotic, doesn’t it? Well dream on because it’s not where you think… it’s Fidje NOT Fiji (oh I wish).
After our first trip to a company hytte and surviving it (oh how I miss my former life of 5* hotels in some far away paradise!) we found out a couple of weeks ago that the Management hytte was available (THE management hytte, how exciting!) so we once again packed everything we could think of (bed sheets, sleeping bag, salt/pepper, dish washer powder, woolly underpants, etc…!!!) and embarked on another trip to the mountains.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for Jeremy’s first time on the ski slopes. It was also Chloe’s first time on the real ski slopes; her first try at skiing was another one of China’s experience! Jeffrey tried to remember his snowboard techniques and I was reminded that I’m not 20 years old anymore (well at least my knees let me know it!).
While I skied about twice a week in the 70s (I’m from the French Alps, home of the best ski and I skied for free then) to about once a week in the 80s then once a month in the early 90s (Au pair in Colorado has its advantages!), the last time I skied was in August 1999 just north of Santiago de Chile. While the technique was still there, my lack of exercise was cruelly showing!!!.
On a side note, while Jeremy can be the laziest person when I’m around; he picked up his skis and climb the slope when the baby Poma stood still for too long… there’s nothing like a girl to impress to make him do thing!
