Back to work
Monday, March 15, 2010
My delightful break is over. Today, I shall see Mrs P onto her plane back to the UK at Geneva airport and head off to Cannes for work.
At the weekend, she and and I were able to enjoy such views as these courtesy of our gracious hosts who are lucky enough to live - in very considerable style - in Crans Montana.
Skiiing is not our thing (your blogger's limbs are too long and his centre of gravity too high) but yesterday we lunched at the top of the piste and drank in the pure mountain air among the bizarrely clad aficionados. Skiing and golf both seem to involve abandoning all sartorial sense. I wonder why?
Ah well. Back to reality.
I remember skiing in Crans, in 1992. It was very nice, and a greatly civilised place. Not as expensive as it was made out to be either.
Drove there all the way form London overnight, picking up one of our Czechoslovak chums from the Prague-train at Zurich along the way. Great timing: I arrived in the car at about 08:05 am just as his train was trundling into the station! (And we had no mobile phones in those days...)
Everything went like that - it was a good holiday.

May I echo Mr. E's thoughts?

Ahhh the eternal need to dress like a pimp
