Karen Mark & James Redshaw

We finally managed to get skiing last weekend. The whole winter has been so so warm there has been no snow here in Frankfurt at all. The sledges have not had a single trip out . When the weather turned cold last week, we took the chance and decided on Thursday night to take 3 days and go ad find the snow which had been falling in Austria.

So Saturday at 03:30 yes that early we set off and were back in Serfaus just after 09:00 we drove through a little snow of the way but nothing much. We then enjoyed 3 days of great skiing, our “monster” really enjoyed it and best of all was being the leader down the slopes.

We stayed at Jenny’s Schlössl which was nice and the food great. Guess who loved the whirlpool bath we had in the room! We managed to to take a few photos and I will try and get these up in the next day or two.

So it finally picked today to start to rain! This has been the most mild winter that we have experienced here in Germany. Last weekend we took the bikes along the Main with some friends and then the ferry at Hoechst and has a really nice lunch one of the restaurants in the old market square. Kids and mums took the tram back to town and the dads rode and were first to Milano’s for a well deserved ice cream.

That was all in wonderful spring weather, today James and I went swimming and on our way home it started to rain and it has just kept on coming! I thought that it was supposed to be April showers!
