Tignes in October

Went for a few days skiing on the glacier at Tignes earlier this week with my daughter. I've never been
so early before and thanks to heavy snow the day we arrived snow conditions were superb as you can see
in this photograph.

Smurfs

Wasting time in a wet, miserable Geneva waiting to be transported to the mountains. Most
of the city is actually closed, well it is Sunday. These apartments are really cool though.
Known as Schtrumpfs (Smurfs) there are several blocks all with equally wacky designs.

Peterborough Arch (again)

There is a fair bit of sculpture spread around Peterborough. This is one of
my favourites, Peterborough Arch by Lee Grandjean. The pieces are spread
around the town but the greatest concentration is around the rowing lake area.
I've photographed most of the pieces and they can be seen on my Flickr pages.

Country Pubs

There are some delightful ones spread all around the UK. As it is such a wonderful day here today I had a
wander around Castor which is only just outside Peterborough. The Fitzwilliam Arms really is an attractive
pub from the outside. I resisted though, although it was difficult, and didn't go inside.

Tignes Les Boisses

I'm off skiing to Tignes in a little over 2 weeks, staying here. Earliest I've ever been
and I doubt there will be too much snow down at the hotel but I'm looking forward
to it all the same. This will be my 3rd time there (with a 4th in December).
