FollowEvery February we have a big curling competition called the Dolly cup. It takes place over four weeks, with games every Tuesday night. Emily, Mandi, Gavin and Tim have entered a team.
The standard of play is high – for auslander teams it is an achievement just to avoid losing every game.
It’s another poor day for going up the mountain, but at least some of the ski lifts are operating today. We decide to leave the slopes to the holidaymakers and go for a walk. These lovely old chalets are in the area that used to be the village centre before the railway came.
If you want to build a new house here you have 2 choices. You can buy a plot of land and try to get permission to build on it – almost impossible, or you can buy an existing building and knock it down before building your new house in its place. That’s what has happened here.
A little further along we pass Chalet Iltis that we viewed the other day. It looks a bit sad all shuttered-up, and we hope to change that soon. We’re waiting for the owners to send us a contract.
