Although the weather has started becoming more spring-like, we've been subjected to a late winter storm. We even had a little snow in Mallefougasse followed by icy cold conditions and a very strong Mistral wind. This usually has the effect of clearing all the weather away so when we woke up this morning to a beautiful blue shy, we decided to head up to the top of the Lure to enjoy the snow.

| The snow was melting and the drops would re-freeze but the strong wind caused all the icicles to grow at an angle |

| Stunning views out to the North with the Alps in the distance |
Even though the old ski station is only 5km from the house as the crow flies, it is a 25km drive. Still, it's hard to believe that we have this winter-wonderland on our doorstep. Although the air temperature was around 0°C when we arrived, the sunshine (and exercise) warmed us up enough to really enjoy the outing.

We had a wonderful walk and still get quite giddy at the beauty of the snow covered trees and mountainside. It really is so different to where we grew up. We are just grateful to have the right type of clothing for this weather as well!
