Skiing in Australia August 2008











Hi there once again. We have just returned from our second weekend in the snow - last Sunday to Selwyn and this Sunday Thredbo. It takes about 2 1/2 hours from here so doable in a day which is great - the bonus of living in Canberra for all you snow lovers! It was great to get the skis back on and even better to see the girls getting right back into it - they now ski off together on their own which is fantastic although we just wish Immi was up to going with them!! Talking of Immi, she had her first ski and was actually great - not even 3 and can ski pretty well, just wish she wasn't so strong willed...... enough said. Had visions of Susan and Eric and their time at Thredbo - strangely enough didn't see anyone in flip flops and T shirts though Eric!!! Great snow and you both would have showed the Aussies a thing or 2 over here - maybe one day you can come back! Well miss you all very much, but as you can see we are making the most of the winter (how strange when it should be summer). Saw the first daffodils today.... bizarre x

Sal and Paul, Its bad enough that you live in a beautiful house in a peacful traffic free country and have good weather even in the Winter, but snow and skiing as well!!!
Looks fantastic and you all look so healthy and happy; we are very jealous. Still the good news is that Gloucester has had plenty of water in the resevoirs! So there'll be no drought here for a while. CU and we wanna BU
