Slippery slopes and down with a bump

I do enjoy my job, I do honestly…  but after a week skiing in Austria coming back to work was just a bit tedious.

St Anton lived up to it’s reputation with some very challenging and technical skiing – and was spectacular. The snow on the high peaks was perfect, just a bit sugary at the bottom of the slopes.

The Chalet Inge was comfortable – and the service excellent, but the design of the bathroom meant one couldn’t be bashful… I would probably opt for a more traditional place next time.

Although it was great to spend the week with Angus we were fortunate to meet up with a friend of his who was staying in the chalet with his mother. This meant while the lads went off to do their scary skiing I had someone pleasant to ski with myself.

The Galzig bahn was a fascinating piece of engineering. The architects were kind enough to build it in a glass building – I could have spent hours watching it. There are a couple of cool youtube videos of it, and here

Spent Easter in Yorkshire where I discovered a great little classic car museum and restoration workshop in Batley – sadly no Astons, but one my Father might have approved of…

Bentley T1 - right car, wrong colour - and where are the hubcaps?
