Hello, I’m back…and in one piece although at times it was touch and go! We had a wonderful few days, the sky was blue…
the snow was deep…
the company great fun and the food, oh dear the food….!!! And the drink! Still, lots of time now to get back to the diet.. eventually. Slightly tricky when I sent the dear husband out to buy salad when we got home and he came back with pork pies, extra creamy potato salad and two sorts of icecream. Oh, for some ‘Won’t Power’!
Skiing was a little tricky, the brain was willing but the body said ‘Who Me?’ and my knees said ‘No Way!’ And I had to wear these boots…
I mean…Orange?
But a few days in brilliant sunshine was exactly what the spirit needed, especially reflected off snow covered mountains.
and I must share the joys of Austrian bedmaking…
I never knew a duvet could be so much fun!
At home, we found that in less than a week the daffodils and forsythia had come into the bloom and although it’s still cold, Spring is really beginning to ‘bust out all over’.
And Higgins came home. He had a lovely time with his friend Ellie and he was SO fed up to be back with just boring old humans to entertain him. A massive sulk resulted…
He’s just about forgiven us now though, and was very happy this morning as Tim had a 5am start so Higgins was able to take over the warm bit in the bed, a rare treat.
And now the fun is over I have to get to work with the dye and the felting needle. I must step away from the computer and get going… Back soon xxx

Wow, those mountains look really stunning against that blue, blue sky! Lovely photos
Your photos look stunning! I have to have a go at folding my duvet into a heart shape!!!

I’m pleased to know that you were uninjured.
If I tried doing that kind of thing to my duvet, you’d never see me again, I’d be lost inside it!
That Higgins, he sows such disapproval, with just the lift of an eyebrow, just like Grommit!
That snow looks gorgeous Penny! I saw that photo of the piste and had a pang of longing. It looks like you had the perfect week, with the perfect accommodation, and the perfect weather and snow conditions, it doesn’t get much better than that, does it! How wonderful to return to those duvet formations each evening! And Higgins’ holiday! He leads a charmed little life doesn’t he! Love Vanessa xxx
It looks wonderful – my son was in Austria skiing too. Good to be back with Higgins though!
hello testing
Welcome back, Penny! How nice to see Higgins, too! Vow – did you ski with those – I know it’s fun but wouldn’t dare! I have done only gross country … in my school age. Should I make the duvets and pillows like that?
Thank you for beautiful photos!

Hello Penny
Glad to see you bac again! The snow looks amazing and the duvets heavenly to be under! I did once go ski-ing in Switzerland and loved the luxurious beds and covers with a view of the mountains through my window! When I realised how high up the mountain I was I decided there and then to stop and stay at camp reading my book and indulging in local coffee with a spirited edge! Love Higgins in that photo too xox
Hi Penny
Sounds like you had a great hol….lovely photo’s too! Higgins looks very cosy!
All that and torte , too ! Looks marvellous.
I’ve only ever slept in a tent ( in August , I hasten to add ) in Austria and didn’t realise that sculpted bedding was a must . I’ll have to have a go .
