February 2003. For the longest time I\’d wanted to try snow boarding. After several hours of falling on my arse and faceplanting into the suspiciously hard snow, I began to feel I\’d never be a pro. I did manage to sustain a standing position for a few minutes though, during which this photo was taken. It held pride of place on my old blog for quite some time and it\’s back again now for a few hours. Really have to go snowboarding again some time.

Many many moons ago, when staying in Montreal. Always been housed by Caroline without so much as a grumble or an eye rolled. I\’m not the easiest person to invite into your home for weeks on end, but she\’s always done so with a smile. Very grateful for that. Very very grateful. Montreal is fantastic. Only ever gone there in winter when it\’s covered in a thick layer of snow and ice (and around minus thirty degrees Celsius). I\’m due a trip back over there in the coming years during the summer, just to see if the place is as green as I\’m told. Although I would like to get another bit of snowboarding in. Seems a waste to go there when it\’s warmer now that I\’ve bought all that expensive cold weather clothing. Also Quebec city. Need to get back there. Need to brush up on my French first though. Bleh, I need a holiday!
