Ski Lessons

Daddy went over to Xscape tonight and endured a 3 hour ski lesson (he decided Ski rather than board in the end) to get through certifications 1 and 2 (of 5). There were 10 people in total being trained tonight in this class, but were about 4 or 5 similar sized classes on – a real money pit this ski training malarcky…. (60UKP each…)

He LOVED every minute of it and in fact has brought forward his lessons for stage 3 and 4 to Tuesday of next week (instead of Saturday night) and has also booked the final stage 5 for next Saturday night πŸ™‚

The kids and mummy SO need to get in on the action as well πŸ™‚

New Years walk

We took a picnic to Rother Valley Park this morning and took the dog for a nice long walk in the muddy fields around the lake. 

This year was a little different to the last time we were there in that we have Hugo now and the fact that it was not horizontal raining today πŸ™‚ we also got to watch some jet-bikers skipping around the smaller jet-ski lake – those bad boys didn’t sound much but by crikey they were FAST.

Hugo managed a two hour wander around with no intention of weeing despite being placed in ideal grassy circumstances for at least 20 minutes at the end of the walk – then promptly weed in the car less than 5 minutes after having got in, while we were getting out of our wellies etc πŸ™

Thankfully he stayed clean and dry for the remainder of the journey as we called into Coast to Coast restaurant in Sheffield’s Centertainment area πŸ™‚

Then homeward for a cheeky New Yeara Gin and Lemonade πŸ™‚ Such sweet joys …
