Even if Mrs Kay did get the date wrong :-)

Ash Wednesday

Okay, so it was a Saturday. But we went to Musselburgh for a stroll - unlikely though this may sound - around the ash lagoons of the now-defunct Cockenzie Power Station. One of the lagoons is still ash, but the others have been developed into a rather nice pond (for model boating and swan-avoiding) and a bird sanctuary, complete with hides and views of the soon-to-be-not-there-at-all hulk and twin chimneys of what used to be one of the major landmarks for bike rides in East Lothian.

Val Deezer

Welcome back! Here's a bunch of snaps from Val d'Isere, where we were skiing in the first week of April. A different crowd this time, the core Millars, Dawsons and Humphreys were all present and correct and we missed Pat, John, Dave and Paula, but welcomed the Blackburns for the first time. Eighteen of us in all, with the kids outnumbering the adults!

After a wee drop of snow on arrival, we had blue skies and sunshine the rest of the week, the kids all did great in ski school, we skied them to exhaustion in the afternoons, and no-one got hurt. A big success, all in all.

When's it time for the next one?
