Bardonecchia
We’re off the Italian alpine resort of Bardonecchia shortly! I’m looking forward to this weekend in the mountains, and after seeing the You Tube video presentation of this area, I’m even more keen on being there!
Roccaraso Ski Video
Off the skied piste resort Roccaraso is somewhere I’ve already written about, so I thought you may like to see the slopes in all their snowy glory, seeing as it is the time of the year when people are thinking about booking ski holidays.
Summer Holiday Thoughts
It’s looks as though we may be heading for Corsica this year, as long as I can overcome the other half’s worries about our little pup eating our friends’ non-puppy friendly little son, that is.

Watch it!
Be careful around Milan’s central station at the moment, particularly the area shown in the photo. There is a band of kids who specialise in stealing things from handbags operating in this area.
