Seriously though,
If my lack of an avatar is really bothering you, I will ask my 15 year old daughter if she can make one for me. In my day we were really using slide rules and log tables etc. at school, and I didn't get anywhere near a computer until I was at Uni, and even then it was only a Commodore 64 and we had to write our programs in what I seem to remember was called Basic.

Well,
I struggle a bit with some of this modern technology. Things were different when I was young .... Ally |

Lovely photos, thanks very much. I've been to VT twice and I think it's great as well,

Yeah,
It's not easy ski-ing when you're 105 years old. Things are much easier for me now they've put escalators in some of the resorts. Ally |

Well,
On a bad day I have to use a special frame with skis on underneath it. Ally |

Bicycles are no laughing matter.
They really did have bicycle corps in WW1. I have a lovely photo somewhere of the Welsh one on parade in Cardiff square, and another one of the Germans with their bicycles in a forest somewhere. Ally |

Pablo,
Now you've done it! Do you know how many people look at this site? You won't be able to move up there - the roads will all be clogged up with people rushing to have a go on all that fantastic snow up in Scotland. Ally |

Well,
the really frightening thing about it was that I couldn't prove I wasn't a spy. And this officer just kept shouting at me that I was a spy. I mean, how can you prove a negative like 'I am not a spy'. And the most awful thing about it, was that afterwards, when I'd been rescued, the others were really horrible to me about it. I can remember the Minister being really nasty, and me crying my eyes out, and no-one seemed to realize that however frightened they'd all been, it had been much worse for me. And it was a genuine accident. I knew we weren't suppose to take photos of railway stations, but I was really just taking a photo of a woman carrying a suitcase, and I forgot that she was standing outside a railway station. Ally |
