Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

As a family we normally visit the mountains for skiing in the winter, but this year the sprogs decided to try out the various summers sports available.

Better than every! They exclaimed as one... white water rafting, boogie board races down the rapids, mountain climbing, swimming and canoeing on the lake... and best of all? 'Oh, you'd love this,' they assured me... Parapenting, which involves taking a running jump off the top of a mountain.

'Er, excuse me, but how well do you know me?' I felt bound to ask.
It took me long enough to pluck up the courage to skim over the mountains on a plank (ski lift) never mind take a running jump off a frozen peak. And strapped to someone I don't know? I don't think so!

Back tomorrow with some shots from the day the Tour de France went through the village. Men in lycra?
No, more like giant inflatables.
Can't wait?
I don't blame you!
