Celebrating your birthday at the top of a mountain with the sun beating down, drinking the local tipple is definitely up there as one of the best ways to see in a new year. Well, that was how hubby spent his birthday along with me, Mrs T and the rest of his family.
Happy Birthday Cal! After the events of last year, here is hoping for a smoother, healthier time as a 34-year-old.
Before stopping for lunch and cracking open the fizz, we skied for a couple of hours – going higher up the mountain than the previous day. We were rewarded with some excellent snow for this late in the season. All in all it has been a brilliant season and the bad weather in the UK has extended to Europe meaning it snowed high up in the mountains just last week.
Today it was BOILING. I reckon it must have been pushing 22 degrees low down in the village. Absolutely beautiful weather and apparently it is going to be even hotter tomorrow. Of course, Cal’s nose took a beating from the sun and he is sporting a nice watch mark surrounded by a red wrist and hand.
Mrs T has been amazing. She hung out with Granny then came up to meet us for lunch – falling asleep in the car so slept soundly while we ate before enjoying a bit of the fresh mountain air. She is really enjoying the warm weather- just so full of life and in such a good mood. Babies must be just like us really – buoyed by the sunshine and a bit grumpy when it rains.
This trip I have discovered singing “I went to the animal fair” has her laughing her head off.
