I've now been in Ludlow Vermont for a month, teaching at Okemo. Joss and Gar arrived a few weeks after Pete and I, making our little international household complete. An Irishman, an Englishman, a Canadian and a lone American all live peacefully under one roof on Pleasant street.

Enjoying the first snowfall
Pete celebrated his quarter century this year. Living together made it hard, but I managed to muster up a small crowd to surprise him. Inevitably, my Facebook page was open on his computer and he got wind of the event. Fail.
I still caught him off guard with a few unexpected guests and close friends.
Gar and I @ the Outback
Birthday boy.
Carrot cake, his favorite. The crazed face says a lot about the party the night before.
All far from family, we decided to make a traditional turkey dinner for Christmas. Complete with garlic sweet potato mash, yorkshire puddings and far to many desserts, I was stuffed.
Ludlow family gathered around the table.
Joss, carving the turkey.
Today the most wonderful thing happened: we got out first blizzard of the season. A whole 18 inches fell, covering our slopes with beautiful fluffiness and contributing to our bare glade runs. Fingers crossed, the trees will be open soon!
Our street this morning.
