My New Blog

I have just launched a second blog at http://tryingtospeakspanish.blogspot.com. As the name suggests it is all about learning Spanish, so although not really related to the content of this site, it is quite relevant to my own career as a ski instructor in a mainly Spanish speaking ski school.

There may well be a little crossover with this site, as the Spanish I have learnt tends to have a bias towards skiing related terms. However for most readers interested in the ski and outdoor focus of this blog, then unless you have an interest in learning Spanish as well then there might not be that much to interest you, so I won't take it to personally if you decide not to spend any time there.

Having said that, I thought I should mention it, just in case regular readers are interested in what else I am getting up to online, or in case you noticed a new blog appear in my profile and wondered what it was about.

The new blog will probably have more regular posts than this one, but shorter ones. I imagine it will have less photos as well, as I take plenty of photographs of mountains but far fewer of anything very typically Spanish.

If there are any other skiers out there who want to learn Spanish as well then please leave a comment and let me know what you think so far. For the rest of you, I promise to get back to some skiing in the next post.

Off topic plug - Paintings of Cows

This is nothing to do with skiing, but it's my blog so I guess I can post what I like ;-)

I just want to give a quick mention to my friend Nikki's recently revamped website. Nikki is an artist living in Cheshire (one of the flattest and least snowy parts of the UK, so really not to do with skiing), and she is currently promoting her Funky Cow range of original artwork, limited edition prints along with themed gifts and cards. Daisy (below) is one of my favourites. If you like it have a look at more cow themed artwork at Nikki's website.
