Pic(spam) of the week: Winter holidays

Jan 30, 2017 20:19

... man, I go on vacation for a week and the world goes completely mad. I expected some of it (but not this much!) and thus stayed away from the news in my happy little Alpine valley, but coming back and catching up isn't fun either when there's such a clusterfuck to catch up with.

I have no words but stunning. Simply stunning.

What a pretty place. Loved hearing your boys' adventures.I loved the Chalet School books when young.

Thank you!

That's nice to know! I was wondering whether they might be really obscure and nobody ever heard of them, or whether they actually were reasonably popular.

Such incredibly amazing photos. Wow! I am so happy for you and the kids and their grandparents that you were all able to share such a wonderful holiday.

Awww! Felix! I was as happy for him as all the rest of you put together. That's a kid after my heart!

he did ace the race, but only by virtue of refusing to either steer or brake until he'd crossed the finish line!

Yep! I can totally relate to that. That's a metaphor for how I have made choices in my life! It does not make for an easy retirement, but builds a lot of terrific memories!

It was very beautiful!

Haha, he is awesome. But he's going to get in so much trouble, it's hard to watch even when I know I'd probably be the same. I can relate to his skiing attitude, too! I found steering or braking vastily overrated as a teenager too! These days, I'd wish he'd be more willing to put some effort into learning the basic technique before speeding ahead. But look who's talking! XD

*hugs* about the world gone mad. Man, I expected it to be bad, but neither _this_ bad nor so quickly ( ... )

Seriously. The decisions are terrifying, but the speed at which they're happening are even worse. O.ó ( ... )

Those are some fabulous photos, and this is one trip I don't wish I'd been able to tag along on! 8)

As you know, I love snow... as long as it's outside, and I'm inside, someplace warm!

Thank you!
Heh - sounds about like I feel about deserts, just the other way round! ;)
