Today was the first day that the children have been able to ski to school. The weather has been so changeable, foggy one minute, howling gale the next and it's been snowing practically non stop for 3 weeks. There are some parts of the route to school that are a bit flat, so if there's a foot of powder then it can make for some tough, time consuming poling. So, the perfect day arrived and Ned and Charlie skied off on their own into the distance (not Lucy, she had left her ski pants at school the night before and was less than impressed that she had to go in the car!)
As I reached the car park by the school, I waited to watch them ski down the hill (and to check they were OK) after a couple of minutes I couldn't wait any longer as it would make Lucy late, so carried on to school...and there they were...all gloating and proud. It was like some weird Top Gear challenge...can 2 boys on skiis get to school quicker than their mother in a beaten up Dodge Caravan? Oh yes they can!!!
What a gorgeous way to get to school!
