And when I was 7 our house burned down, and we all had a pretty traumatic time (none of us got burnt though), and I think that's why my Mum decided to take us all on a ski-ing holiday to Italy when I was 8 (even my Dad eventually came, although he wasn't at all keen on the idea). But I actually learned to ski on the dry slope at Alexandra Palace in North London, before we went. And I loved it right from the first moment.

I went again with the school when I was 11, and then not for 30 years until I went with my two girls.

You must have been rich. We went to Blackpool or Aberdeen for our holidays. They didn't ski there!

She's a farmer :thumbup:

Lived for many years in a Village called Kippen, which was near the Lake of Menteith............hence the reason I went curling there

Now that wasn't hard was it, I'll share a secret now, I don't live in Norwich, I live in a village eight miles south of Norwich :-o :-o
