Last winter we had almost no snow and I did no cross country skiing at all. Not until New Year´s Eve, which was last year, but not last winter :-) I did miss it, and I did ask myself some times - will I go skiing again, or is cross country skiing for me an era in the past?
But of course it is not. Like all Norwegians I was born with skis on my feet, and cross country skiing is a past time I love. We do have snow this winter, and when we drove to the cabin on Friday we stopped on the mountain pass, halfway to the cabin, put on our skis and had a whole mountain all by ourselves for a couple of hours.
By the way, my mother is my role model. She cross country skied till she was 83. I still have more than 25 years to go.
25 years!
Imagine all the beauty I still have ahead of me :-)
