Dear All,
We had an excellent week in Austria. The journey to and fro was the
usual “Uncle Graham” ie 8 legs but thoroughly researched for economy and
efficiency, so car to Harrow, 2 underground trains to Heathrow, flight to
Munich, train to Munich East, train to Kufstein on the Austrian border, train
to Blixlegg, bus to Alpbach – and of course it all worked like clockwork!

Our accommodation was in 2 buildings, we slept in Haus Rossstall and
ate in Haus Andreas, but we soon got used to that as it was family run and very
friendly.
We had a heavy snowfall on the first day of at least 6” and this
lasted the rest of the week when the sun came out for most of the time.
We walked up and down the valley by different routes, took the cable
car to the top of a ski slope and walked down, walked up and down a toboggan run
and explored a historic village and a lake resort. Mary was apprehensive as she
is still recovering from a broken arm but she survived well and failed to fall
over even once! I suffered a heavy cold, Kate had a muscle problem and Graham a
sore back – but we still claimed to enjoy it all!
We did not walk on our return on Thursday but opted to finish the
decorating in Ben’s old room.

I planted onion sets, garlic, shallots and peas so spring must be
coming.
“Biographies” topic this week was “Rudyard Kipling” – named after
where he was conceived – so nothing new Becks and Posh!
Apart from this there has been an Events Committee, a gardening
Column, 2 football matches and last night we were on “Street Pastors” in the
cafe getting to bed at 4.45 am. It was a reasonably busy night with a steady
flow of the sadly inebriated and one ambulance casualty who was suffering from
facial bleeding and memory loss.
Love
Mike & Kate
