I’m also a student, though am in the final year of a chemistry PhD so work crazy hours and spend most of my life in a lab surrounded by evil and smelly chemicals.

I found this site by accident last summer (filling in time between experiments when I should have been doing something constructive) and now spend way too much time on here reading everyones' posts and occasionally replying when I get round to it!! )

When not stuck in a lab (or away skiing), I spend every spare moment at the stables with my gorgeous horse, Max (the main ‘man in my life’, as my exasperated husband will testify!) :roll:

Failing that, I love cooking (made a very tasty batch of chocolate and cherry brownies and a lemon cake this weekend), eating chocolate (preferably Lindt or Thornton’s), drinking red wine or curling up with a good book. :D

Glenshee - skied into a truck on teh car park. After that decided to go where there is actually some snow - Andorra 1989

What is the worst skiing injury you have ever had??

:oops: sorry

Managed an impressive cruciate, medial and lateral Ligament injury - 3 months on crutches back in 1996

Ouch!!

Soldeu in Andorra. Many moons ago.

How many sleeps till your next ski trip?

Too many - have had my holiday and don't think I'm going to get back again this year due to work and finances :(

Hmm, should probably read things back before posting! :D

To set the record straight, in the summer I go out in a T shirt and jodhpurs - I haven't got long enough hair to be doing Lady Godiva impressions, and have no desire to get arrested!! )

And on the bony horse front, the only answer is to borrow another one! :D

I used to do a lot of bareback show jumping when I was younger, but have acquired a bit more sense since I came off and landed on a scaffolding fence, resulting in a large divot in my left hip and two weeks on crutches.

Now I’ve taken up skiing, I have another option for breaking my neck so can be a bit more sensible with the riding :roll:

No to the dolphins but I'd love to.

Where did you go on your first ski holiday?

That's more like it (lycra or not!!) :D

Most of the other photos are just disturbing though :shock:

I live near Middlesbrough :D
All riding at present is done on local bridle paths, with as many layers on as possible (it's bl**dy cold out there at the minute!!) and with a saddle on as current horse, although lovely, is bony and uncomfotable :D
