Flashback Friday: my favourite place

The only place where I can truly switch off and relax. The mountains are so cathartic for me. Before the kids came along, my year was centred around the two trips I got to make to the mountains with my snowboard. I love everything about it; the cold first thing in the morning, the crunch of the snow under foot and board, the totally exhilarating feeling of floating over fresh powder.

The peace when on a long chair lift, the silence broken by fellow boarders and skiers expressing their delight with screams as they carve their way down the mountain. At the end of the day ice cold beers and cheesy Euro pop make for wonderful nights out in pubs and bars packed with my fellow mountain lovers. The overwhelming ache the next morning in muscles you didn't know you had, but it doesn't matter as you head out the door for another amazing day on the slopes. Of course, being a total Geography geek makes being in the mountains much more fab;) My total love and awe of the mountains is in my blood. It will never leave me.

Flashback Friday

A few pictures from two holidays I took to Kefalonia in 1996, and Turkey in 1997. How I miss those relaxing child free trips;)
