Just when we thought it couldn’t get any colder, the temperatures plunged again, and it was minus 12 outside our kitchen window this morning. There’s no need to rush out though; in the nearby village of Adelboden there’s a World Cup slalom race and we can watch it on telly. Manchester boy Dave Ryding amazed everyone by finishing on the podium in third place. Here he is on the right.

By now the temperature had risen to a slightly more comfortable minus 5, and we headed out for a walk. It’s nice to get away from the village centre and see some of the quaint old houses.

We’re expecting the usual suspects for dinner later. I’m going to do fish and chips.
