Our activity holiday comprised water sports with JC, then ski-ing with S and T.

I was actually quite frightened when it came to swimming here. JC had already hurt herself when she slipped on the rocks at the loch side, and I was terrified when I realised that I would have to jump from a height of 100 feet into the water.

The ski-ing arrangements were less demanding, and the hotel staff went out of their way to ensure that we could use the facilities right up until 7pm on the day of our departure. Their only condition was that we showered with the baby afterwards.

“That baby will be very clean by the end of the evening”, I concluded.
