Emma Little / Snow fun

What a lame attempt to try and catch up before our 3rd weekend.

The truth is, I’ve been wanting to blog quite a lot, but trying to structure what want to say isn’t easy.  And the longer I leave it the more I have to say and the more confusing it gets.

I’m not sure if I’ve changed.  I know I have been through some process of change, but have I just gone round in one big circle?  Or are the changes too subtle to notice? 

Had a great time with the weather today.  With all the chaos down south you can’t help but wonder if this is one of nature’s ways of making people listen.  Considering we’re all so obsessed with the weather you’d have thought that by now we would have figured out that we can’t control it.

I found letting go of that control really freeing today, (went skiing to Glenshee - I know not eco - but I did wonder why I was doing it for the first time???) and last weekend (hired a cottage on the east coast with a bunch of folk) when I have never been in a house so close to the sea that you can hear the constant crashing of the waves 24 hours a day. 

Today it was freezing!   The first 2 runs down the slope were so cold our faces were caked in ice!  But we persevered and it was worth it.  The best of Scottish skiing in lovely snow.  You don’t get snow like that often in the city.  I thought it was amazing that so many people had made the journey to be in the cold all day and yet they would probably do everything to avoid it in their day to day lives.  Is it something to do with our vain efforts to control nature?
