We can't go skiing or do anything too exciting whilst we've got our dog Mr GM and I both love snow and rarely get much in northern Lincolnshire. Even when it snows in Doncaster, Lincoln, Market Rasen, Caister and Hull, we often don't get any so we are going to become snow hunters. Braemar is such a lovely place with everything we need for a week away without having to drive anywhere from the campsite. It's the snowiest place we've been to and often the coldest part of Britain

Icy in the morning, ice-creamy at lunchtime, slush puppy in the afternoon. My mate Gordy went water-skiing at one point when he came round a corner to find a massive puddle of meltwater. Fortunately the bars were open and the weather was head-blisteringly sunny & hot!!

Word from Austria today is that they're announcing tomorrow that Brits, Dutch and a couple of other countries will have to quarantine on arrival for something like 8 days, early release after 5 with a negative PCR test.
