More Skiing and Man of The Match!

After a good fall of snow at home this week it was decided to check out the snow at the Lecht, midweek it had been looking very good on the webcam.  Unfortunately the reality was a little different, the pistes on the main side of the road were well pisted but somewhat icy however over on the Buzzard run things were much better and some good runs were had, even if it was a struggle keeping up with Eilidh and Ellie!

All fuelled with chocolate brownie of course!

And some videos (Ellie wishes it to be known that her fall at the end of the video is a figment of your imagination

Isobel meanwhile was playing for the S2 second team and was awarded man-of-the-match!  They lost 6-0 to Watsons of Edinburgh however apparently without her efforts in goal it would have been nearer 26-0!

We Was Robbed!

A busy weekend was had by all.  Saturday saw Isobel keeping goal for the first team down in Dundee, she played the first half and the first team keeper played the second half.  Both kept a clean sheet in a 4-0 win.

Highlight of the weekend was however a Fair Trade baking competition over at Udny Green.  Isobel baked some extremely fine chocolate muffins, Julie created a milk chocolate Torte.

Isobels Chocolate Muffins

Isobel came second in the secondary school category.  Having tasted the muffins myself I would say it was a travesty of justice!!

Julie's Torte

Ellie had a busy weekend with a sleepover on Friday, hockey on Saturday (where the P7 team beat the S1,s!) followed by a skating party this afternoon (all limbs still intact and no fractures).

Just to add to the fun, 4 inches of snow this morning  so hopefully the Lecht will be in good nick next weekend. Have a look at their webcam.

A Busy Weekend!

A busy wekend for all.  Isobel was in a hockey tournament for all the local schools, keeping goal for the 2nd team.  Well the good thing about being second team keeper is that you certainly get lots of action!  They won 1 match and lost 4 and Isobel had more practice than she has had for a long time!!

As for Ellie..........need I say?  I was dragged up to the Lecht yet again.  A good Sunday morning skiing on some spring snow and Ellie's parallel turns are coming on a treat despite what was not the easiest snow. 

And Isobel..........baking as always, and this week, as you can see the baking powder was remembered!

And of course a good baker always tastes the the filling!
