Troodos

It snowed yesterday, on  the Troodos mountains;

everything was frozen, including some fountains.

It was well below zero but the kids did not care;

they sledged and they skied in the rarefied air.

 

On Mount Olympus there are four ski slopes

on which young beginners can learn the ropes

but it was far too late for an old fogey like me

who of downhills or slaloms is not a devotee.

 

So my friend and I went to a mountain bothy

to savour chocolate that was hot and frothy.

Inside the log cabin and away from the snow

we sat by a warm fire and felt a nice glow.

Oh, I did enjoy that! Felt the glow of the fire and the chocolate (frothy) and the sun on the cold, cold snow. A really nice armchair visit, thanks! Rhiannon

Much better to sit by a warming fire than standing out in the cold weather.
Thanks very much for your appreciation, Rhiannon.
