Hi ,

Letting the dog out on a chilly winters evening/night and smelling the log and coals fires people are having in the area on the crisp night air......when I close my eyes and breathe that in I can be transported to Bourg-St-Maurice in an instant.......

.....ahh!.....woodsmoke! :D


...Oh and diesel fumes and a raging sore throat, which reminds me of a holiday in Chamonix , but thats another story.

Here comes the snow , every things alright.....oh hang on that's a song I think.....

Here's the lovely view on the Les arcs webcam's today, with more of the same forecast....

Hi Lota,

Sorry to here that, but sometimes it's best to let the head rule the heart.....another 3 months or so of physio and treatment should work wonders, just don't over do it in March.

My knee still gives me jip even after two years......might have something to do with not having any physio and the only medical treatment I had at the time was to strap cold bottles of beer to my knee with a tea towel the last few days of my holiday....then take the contents internally...

......purely for medical reasons you understand :D

Hope all goes well and a speedy recovery.

Hi ,

I am afraid if I hear the words " Driest on Record " , " Warmest on record " , "Since records began" I am going to scream.......

.....have you ever noticed how the weather presenters ( mainly BBC ), News reporters don't seem to be able to get through a forecast or news item without trying to squeeze one or all of these phrases in.

In the UK ( England ) they've been rattling on about the lack of water , it's been the " driest November ever" ......seem to miss that the spring and summer have been the coldest for many years though , and if we don't have lots of snow and rain this winter we will have to have hose and tap bans etc.

Funny thing is I made an FOI request to the Environment Agency and asked how many reservoirs there were in England in 1997 , and how many reservoirs there are in England in 2011......

the answer they gave me was as follows and I quote "In 1997 there were 1926 reservoirs in England" and " In 2011 there are 1916 reservoirs in England".

So since 1997 England has lost 10 reservoirs , gained 1.3 million new homes/flats, and has received around 8.4 million new people through migration (this may seem high but remember when they count those migrating into the country they only count the head of the family , so official figures show only about 2.6 million migrants over the last 14 years ).

Is it any wonder they are trying to brain wash everyone into thinking it's Global Climate Warming Change that's the reason we seem to be short of water and not Government ( Lib/Lab/Con ) Policy Agenda.

Sorry for the Political rant first thing on a Sunday morning......on a more skiing , snowy , mulled wine topic time must go and have my fried breakie now with a steaming hot cup of T , while looking at the webcams ........what a life I lead :D :D :D :D

Who needs the Met Office :thumbdown: and their horrible nasty there's no snow and the worlds too warm forecasts, bring on the ice age.....

.....sorry too many Lemsip's and whiskey trying to kill off my cold before next Saturdays trip, feel a bit whoosy think I must have a lay down f...o.....r a ZZZzzzzzzz.
