Pictures and thoughts from the family on a regular basis...
In 2013, we returned to the cottage we had discovered in 2012, close to Vaajakoski in central Finland. We arrived to find a much extended and improved cottage, and it was a pleasure to relax with Anna's parents, sister Olga and her son Arnold, as well as my brother Keith, who travelled with us for the first time, and had great fun swimming in the beautiful Lake Palvajarvi.

In late 2012, we decided to spend our 2013 February holiday week in the French Alps, and my great friend Pascal invited us to stay with him close to the small French resort of St Pierre de Chartreuse. This was a very exciting week for us- the first time for Anna, Sandy and Olivia to ski on snow, and my first trip abroad to ski since I was 12 years old! We had been practising at Hillend Ski Centre in Edinburgh for over a year, so we were certainly ready for the real thing. It turned out to be a really amazing week- a great host in Pascal, a lovely wee resort with cheap (by skiing standards) prices and a huge amount of snow all combined to make it a memorable time.
