For the first time in seven years, Amy and I went skiing for the day without the ankle-biters tagging along. I took Amy on a little tour and showed her some of the views over the back. It was the first time she had been all the way to the top of the ridge. The mountains around the top of the south are stunning...


The direction that Amy is pointing is mainly unspoiled national parks that cover the top of the south island...


It was a magnificent day full of blue sky, fresh snow and smiles...


but strangely enough, we missed the kids and thought of how much fun they would be having if they were with us.
Isn't life peculiar.
