still no shades and a wanky headband to boot but the skiing was improving leaps and bounds putting paid to finn's/my theory that we learn quicker as we're older - which is of course odd cause it's supposed to be the other way around...
the happy couple
having survived three years at cambridge together, new year's eve couped up in no-hope mottaret, 10 days in a convertible VW in Squaw, a freefall parachute jump, a fucking freezing guest list queue in LA and a week of virgin powder in Courchevel da boys dance a jig and take a chill pill on the grand motte...
second week, same as the first [I'm henry the
