turning to the dark side…

December 29th, 2008

Tomorrow sees a whole new world for me - 15 years trying to get good at skiing and I am about to turn to the dark side. I have purchased wrist guards, knee pads and very ugly padded ‘hip protectors’ and, at 1pm with a brave man called Thomas, I am embarking on my first boarding lesson.

I am still not sure what has got into me and why on earth I am trying something which will definitely end in bruises and blasphemies…call it a mid life crisis if you like. Deep down though, I have to confess that it’s because 1. the boots are easier to walk in and 2. more importantly it looks like a LOT of fun.

I will let you know…
