Returning from sunny switzerland to a surprisingly sunny england!! very shocked, not least at the absence of a tanned face, i was skiing for an entire week and yet my face still looks as white and pasty as ever. i'm defo going to miss speeding down mountains in the glorious sunshine with the glorious snowboarders, but i am not going to miss the food!! definitely not my thing.. weird fried potatoes with a fried egg, ham and a lump of bread was my swiss experiment on arrival which just sat like stodge in my stomach for the next 12 hours. i managed to find plenty of nice salads, helped along with plenty of my sister's plate of chips. im sure that my top class skiing (ha ha) didn't quite burn off the four course meals that the hotel gave us every night though.
managed to stupidly burn a quarter of each arm yesterday, as i decided that due to the amazing weather i would ski in a T-shirt. extreme demonstration of the importance of sun cream on the slopes; i completely forgot about my arms... very very big mistake! celebrated our last day achievement of completing our first black run as a family (we are all now more or less competent on a steep slope) with yummy alcohol. strawberry cocktails and tequila slammers later and me and my sis staggered giggling up the icy slope to our hotel.
