I was very lucky to be able to go skiing in Denver with my sister Tina. We flew over for free, because Tina had a million airmiles after having stayed at the Hilton Luton for most of 2004 ( or was it Newbury?)

Thank God I only had to use the airmiles not earn them. The skiing was fantastic and we met up with my long lost cousin Chris Grundy and his wonderful family for a long weekend of skiing!

They live in Colorado Springs so it was only a 2 hour drive for them to meet up with us in Breckenridge.

We were also joined by Dineshi, an old friend of my sister and I, so in the end the party was me, Tina, Dineshi, Chris, his lovely wife Debbie and the great Grundy kids, Pippa and James!
