A pleasant change

At long last, a warm, sunny day. January has been colder, windier and wetter than usual, in fact this winter has, so far, been pretty miserable. Today was a pleasant change and got us out into the garden for a bit of tidying up. In particular, I had to clean up the mess left after the wind blew some tiles off the kitchen terrace roof. Unusually the wind was blowing hard from the south east, and got under some edge tiles. I heard the bang from some distance away as the tiles hit the floor but luckily there was no one nearby or there could have been a nasty accident.

There I am moaning about the weather, when I checked the snow conditions at Prat Peyrot, our local ski station, to find that it was inaccessible and closed down, presumably because of the recent snow. Bum, we'd just dusted down our ski stuff in anticipation of a visit next week, and mine still fits.
