Winters coming..

posted by kelvin on June 19th, 2007

After months of torturous pressure I’ve finally decided to add a little something.

I was recently talking with Anne and Sam about summer holidays and it got me thinking - If asked 99% of people would probably say that summer was their favourite season, its a time of year often portrayed with a more serene pace of life and the promise of fun holidays. But is this an honest image or simply the promise of a bygone era? To me summer promises the rush hour traffic is worse than ever, children are bored, tempers are on edge and theres no escape from the stifling heat.

Personally I prefer January through to May, why? 2 reasons 1) theres nothing more refreshing and relaxing than crisp air of a sunny winter day 2) Its SKI season. Since Netbasic started the annual Ski trip I’ve grown a real passion for it, so much in fact that I’ll even take myself off, like I did in April and went back to Meribel. The conditions were fantastic and I made every effort to torment the poors souls I had left back in the office.

Given the choice for a tropical or alpine paradise, what would you prefer?

This is a picture I took on our visit in January, the helicopter had just dropped us in Le Plagne

So summer or winter? its a personal choice, but for me the above photo says it all with the alpine resort, snow, perfect blue sky’s - What more could a person ask for?!
