Amazing how the snow changes the scenery, things usually look pretty spectacular in the hills around here but with snow on them they are just amazing.<br \/>\nIt is also amazing how it brings out the child in me. OK, people who know me probably aren&#8217;t that amazed as it doesn&#8217;t take much for me to revert to being a big kid, but the snow certainly does the trick. The past two days have been spent snow-boarding and generally messing around on the hills just inland of Aberystwyth. Everything aches now but I plan to be &#8216;out on the slopes&#8217; again this afternoon. I love it! It&#8217;s just a shame Morgan is a little too young to be out playing in it properly as well.<br \/>\nMore details of the snow-boarding and snow-kiting can be found in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forces-of-nature.co.uk\/dbdriven\/diary\/diary.php\">extreme sports diaires at Forces-of-Nature<\/a> and some photos and discussion can be found in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forces-of-nature.co.uk\/forum\/forumdisplay.php?fid=31\">Weather Forum<\/a> there.
