Ciao! First up in this gallery are some pics of Christmas 2004 where we spent 4 days at Jarrod and Tia's house drinking copious amounts of spirits and playing poker every night. Yeah, we had a good time. Also included are a couple of pics from Clint's casino New Years Eve fancy dress. Pretty. Aaaand then we have pics from our latest expedition into Europe. We had one week of sunshine in Sestriere, Italy right near the French Border. Au revoir!
Yummy Christmas lunch. Nothing like a hot roast to warm us up on a winters day.
Christmas night we played for the Kitty Kup.
Then we started to play up for the camera......
On our last night at Jarrod and Tias we decided to have 'Pyjama Poker'. Yes, how very sad...... but fun.
Clint as a he/she, Tia was an army chick and Jarrod was punk. Check out Clint's killer pins or even pin..
On the bus on the way to work. C'mon, you don't think Clint has changed over the years?!
Tia's makeup was very realistic and Jarrod got many dirty looks in the street.
All dressed up with a place to go. Julie's boss treated us girls to a ball at the swanky Dorchester Ballroom. Great night.
And here we are on our apartment balcony in Sestriere with J & T and Kim and Kirsty, their flatmates.
Our view from the balcony.....
and more views on different mornings.....
Some of the runs of Sestriere. Sestriere was half way up a mountain and our lift pass gave us access to dozens of runs.
Looking towards the town of Sestriere, quite small with few restaurants but at least there was an Irish pub!
Clint and his white hair.... he boarded through a snow cannon (what 'sprays' man made snow onto the slopes)
Almost on top of the world. Near here was a couple of man made jumps that the boys spent alot of time mucking around on.
We rarely went on the slopes together because Julie changed over to skis as it was so icy and was a complete beginner.
Al joined us for 3 days and did beginner classes with Julie. Jules enjoyed skiing much more than boarding.
We took a day trip to a resort in France as it was only 1 hour by bus. There were some great runs there and more snow.
Unfortunately we don't have many pics of us in action but we've got loads of video footage. You'll have to wait til we get back!
