The first snow.  And my goodness gracious me Remington ,  it has snowed.  We don’t get weather like this in the Antipodean isles.

Today we went by train from Zagreb to Ljubljana –  a trip very few from the Commonwealth deign to travel.   The trip takes 3hrs and is some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen.   It follows the River Mary (or some such) for most of the journey,  through the foothills of the Austrian Alps. I think this scenery compares more than favourably to that observed on the rattler between Rosewood and Grandchester, such is the majesty of the view!

Ljubljana is small, beautiful and cold. We dined out – but passed on the house specially (fillet of foal) out of deference to Meg.

I’m sure the foal fillet would have been tender,  but we all must draw the gastronomic line somewhere – mine I think is horse – even if it is served with a green pepper sauce.

To bed after a day of wonders
