Possibly the greatest local news story Im going to see this year, and it’s only March

First up the mountain this morning and after quite a few days of fog and swirling freezing mists it was an absolute belter. #Austria

Nice dollop of new snow overnight. Make the pegs on the washing line really zing this morning. #Austria

Bit of an epic 6 hour hike with sis in law and Mr C today. Didn’t intend for it to take that long but we were waylaid at a local hostelrie and let’s face it the best days are the ones you don’t plan. Anyway thank heavens for water butts with mugs just when you need them most 😊 #Austria

A “Juliet” moment at the Old Haus 😊 #Austria #Tirol #SpringIsSprung

Morning. Another corker of a day. Blue sky and a whiff of Spring. Not great for the schnee but very good for the soul. #Austria

My favourite sight today was a snowboarder wearing an inflatable sumo wrestler suit. He shot past me at high speed and as my brain tried to compute what I'd witnessed I just sat down mid turn laughing loudly. Carnival. It's a strange beast.

Carnival week here. Bit hectic. Finding quiet spots away from the madding crowd. The “plank bench” a favourite stop even though there’s much less schnee than in January. Can’t fault the weather though. Glorious. #Austria

We’re back. And Spring has most definitely sprung. #Austria #AndBreathe

I love watching Dave Ryding tackle the slalom. Even more so when he absolutely smashes it and is in first place. For now. He deserves to keep that spot - oh, to have a knee action and still body as good as his. Holding my breath until the last skier has skied. #AlpineWorldChampionships

Proper fat flake schnee today and the back garden is transformed. About time. Should have a smashing few final days of this trip. #Austria

A bench with a view #Austria

Evening light on the view from the balcony. #Austria #Tirol

Cracking day off the beaten track to the village of a thousand wood stacks. Not a cloud in the sky. Enough schnee not to damage the planks. Birdsong, midday church bells, a lunch it will be hard to beat this year 😊

The trees are in their bridal finery. Such a glorious day. On top of the world and feeling rather blessed. #Austria

Crikey. All this mountain air must be doing wonders for my brain. 🤓

Giving the planks a rest today. Went for a wander up the road behind our place, home to many a fine wood stack 😊 #Austria

Saturday, first thing. Crisp and bright and the rainbow effect was a bonus 😊 #Austria

Couldn’t see much up the mountain this morning but the quiet and stillness after last night’s windy blanketing is just lovely. Sitting on the balcony now, wrapped up warm and savouring the hush. #Austria

Made it to our bolthole for the next month. Bit of an epic drive but mustn’t moan too much about freezing rain and snow when we left our overnight stay near Frankfurt this morning as seems a lot of the UK also sampling that delight. Anyway it’s grand to be back in lovely Austria 😊

And we’re off. Bye Bye Dover. See you again in Feb. #EscapeToTheMountains
