There are quite good ski-ing conditions this year in Europe. Hope that my grandsons don't injure themselves whizzing down the slopes. Has anything happened yet about the ski slopes in the Mugla region? Did Elmali get a ski slope and lift working? Very pretty up there in the snow.
-
Unusually high temperatures and a lack of slow is threatening the ski season as popular resorts in Europe have completely shut down.
Some resorts in France have not seen so much as a snowflake in almost a month leaving pistes completely bare.

I'm in Tignes, France. Whilst we haven't had any significant snow since the beginning of December the pistes here are all in fairly good condition. Runs to lower sloped in Val DIsere are mainly made from artificial snow, but again are being maintained in good condition. We are much luckier than other resorts. It does pay dividends to book to go to a "snow sure" resort.

Only weeistent rain in Fethiye ;)
-
Austria seems to be ok.
-
Think we have had all the weather conditions within the past 24 hours. Snow,heavy rain,hale,rolling thunder, fork lightning.
-
Hope you are staying warm Bernie. :)
-
Here you are Bernie. Huddle up around this.

Stunning picture Jacqui! 8)

Berni and anyone else using hot water bottles, i know you cant look inside and see if they are perishing but a word of warning, a friend of mine had a hot water bottle burst on her early this year, fortunately she has healed well only thanks to the burns hospital as our local hospital was rubbish but gosh her legs were a mess not to mention the pain she was in... They are now banned in our house!
-
Thanks Karen. We replaced both of ours to come out here. I'm sure we were the same as most and had kept the old ones for years. It's a really good point x
-
We used those 'wheaty bags' that are full of beans and heat up quickly in the microwave. Great for pain or heat - and equally I think can be frozen and good when you need ice packs for pain.
-
Yes Lotty, we find the Microwavable wheat bags very good, and safe. And when times get tough you can eat em' ;)
-

Ahh happy New Year Bernie. Just heard that one of our grand guinea pig children has just passed. Very sad. All part of life's rich pattern I suppose. Will just have to have another quaff to put the poor thing to rest. Life gets very hard.
-
Thanks Bernie, hope things are ok for you. Wishing you and yours and everyone on CBF HAPPY NEW YEAR. :) :) :)
