The transport shenanigans that follow a bit of snow falling "across the country" have been dominating the news of late, and yesterday we got a wee dusting in Edinburgh. As always, it didn't amount to much, and didn't last for long, but we did manage a short visit to the almost-bare sledging pistes of Val D'rylaw. More importantly, this morning Holly had her first ski lesson at Hillend, where the snow had lain a litle longer and added a spot of alpine ambience to the proceedings. Louis, alas, was unable to ski. The classes for 4-5 year olds are booked up, and they won't let us ski with him as he's a beginner. It's Council health and safety gone mad, I tell you! Still, he was quite happy running and rolling downhill on the golf course next door. Holly, meanwhile, took to skiing quite nicely, and in a couple of hours was sidestepping, schussing (including touching heads, shoulders, knees and toes) and snowploughing down the nursery slopes. Best of all, she enjoyed it! This bodes well for Val Thorens in March, just need to find a way to get Louis on the planks now...
