OUTDOOR ADVENTURE SNOW *****LIFESTYLE

HOW TO REALLY ENJOY THE WONDERFUL WINTERLAND


that is one way to look at... others might not agree. Some parts of Europe have been  hit by excessive amounts of snow up to 3M . Roads are closed , ski hills and avalanche warnings are extreme.  So well we dig out from the snow , i think about times when I lived where it was so cold snowy , i call polar conditions.
The only way to survive is keep warm , enjoy it the best you can or stay in. MY ideal winter plan is to enjoy it and do things that are fun. Bring out the XC skis,  the backpack and thermos.  Dress warm and  have FUN.

 Some ways to really enjoy the winter outdoors, 

 WAYS TO ENJOY WINTER OUTDOORS 
BACKYaRD FUN
Set up fire pit , roast marshmallows or frankfurters , or beans.
Bring the fire logs, and shovels, make a snow hut 
Make ice candles , line the walks with.
Best thing about this is it doesn't cost and its fun for families to do.

 Even though its snowy doesn't mean you can't enjoy the moment!

 DIYs to try for winter fun.

The Swedish fire log simple and reliable . 
will burn  for hours , so you can heat up water, hot chocolate  , roast  hot dogs



A Snow HUT  Quinzhee hut or Lumitalo (Finnish)

These are used for survival reasons in the wilderness but can
be something to try  in winter.
A good way to have fun and get some exercise. Kids love to make it and play
but make sure to follow instructions and **keep an eye on
so it does not collapse .


Start early to make , shovel snow into a large mound, pack the snow with shovel , takes  branches to use a markers for wall  thickness.once high enough and the surface is packed,  begin  in one spot to make entry by carefully shovelling out snow. the  snow should not fall inside well shovel, , IF not let stand and pack snow more. the sun will also help make it more solid surface

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ?

American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic .
