Hard as nails us Wolfies

I know that many of my beloved fans have been wondering that I have done as much holidaying as of old, so I just wanted to update on my latest jaunt.  I spent the week of 20th-27th March skiing in Val d’Isere. 

Despite the usual handicap of a distinct disinterest among the French shopkeepers in supplying equipment for the needs of their, shall we say smaller, clients, I had a lovely week. 

The temperature was rising and the lower slopes unattractive, if ski-able, but a mountain of snow on the 26th/27th and a drop in temperature should have been enough to set up a decent final few weeks of the season.

I’ve just updated ‘My Travels‘ with details of my latest skiing jaunt.  Here you can see a sneak preview of me all kitted out in the latest high-performance gear and really looking pretty cool.  The only disappointment was the tiny mistake I made in buying my kit on ebay – they really should state if they mean Wolfie sizes or not, because it can be confusing.
