Anem a esquiar!

We're off to Vall Nord for the weekend, skiing and perhaps taking advantage of the duty free shopping in Andorra. Andorra is a funny place. In many ways it's more Catalan than Catalonia because in Andorra the roadsigns are only in Catalan (here they have to put Spanish too). The heads of state of Andorra are the president of France and some Spanish bishop, so it's obviously not a perfect place.

While neither of us are very good at skiing, it's something we look forward to very much. I'm already planning a trip ext month for Gemma's birthday and our fifth anniversary and St Valentine's day - all of which handily coincide. It also gives me a good opportunity to test the battery life of my PSP, something which will no doubt make the journey shorter.

    Yeah it was great. I'll write more about it soon. Suffice to say that conditions were good, but it was pretty chilly on Sunday.

    The bishop of Urgell is one of the heads of state of Andorra. He inherited this title from the Count of Urgell like the president of France inherited the co-principality from the king of France and the king of France, from the count of Foix (spell it /'fosh/, not /'fw-ah/).
