It’s only mid October and already a good covering of snow has fallen at the top of the Mountain in Praz. A significant dump came down yesterday: 15th Oct

First Snow Arrives in Praz
Excellent Merlot for Under 2.50euro
Remembered I’d had a great cheap red called La Croix du Pin from the Intermarchet but couldn’t recall if it was the Cabernet, Syrah, Gamay or Merlot – so, for under 2.50 each I bought the lot. Just tried the Merlot and it is very good – superb for the price.
Posting it here mainly as a reminder but finding myself sounding very neuveau!
I’ll let you know about the rest.
Gideon’s Birthday – March 2012 [video]
7 mins of clips (including a couple of good falls) from hours of shaky footage shot from a tiny camera on Gideon’s helmet (haha) over 2 days on the sometimes slushy pistes of Praz and the Espace Diamant. Picture quality is pretty good for a £10 camcorder. Sound isn’t too bad but only seems to capture the banalities of the blathering gob 20cm below it.
