We are in fairyland, I woke up this morning and there were mountains surrounding the campsite that were covered in snow and tinged pink by the morning sun, it was minus seven, crisp and gorgeous.
The campsite is nestled in a hollow and the mountains surrounding us are in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, there were deer in the snow covered meadow this morning where I took Sunny for a walk, he didn’t notice them because he was too busy eating the snow – he absolutely loves it!
We spent the day in Innsbruck at the Christmas markets where I bought a red beret, I used to wear one in my teens so I thought that under the current circumstances it was entirely appropriate. Innsbruck is beautiful, the buildings painted, the river the most amazing blue and the shopping was interesting, which coming from someone who hates shopping is saying something.
The snow is fantastic, making us feel really christmassy but we can’t stay here, we haven’t got the right tyres and if the weather gets worse it could become terribly expensive. We have had a big discussion and decided that it is time to return to the UK. We have somewhere to go, thanks to my sister but we haven’t got a plan beyond that, something will turn up, it usually does.
