I've got your nose...

Remember that game you play with kids where you pretend to steal their nose and use your thumb to make it look as if you are holding the tip of their nose...well mother nature played that game with me last week...but for keeps.

The right hand side of the tip of my nose has become the latest victim of the cold. A minor case of frostbite. For the first few days the pain was incredible - like someone was constantly pushing a needle into the tip of my nose. Today the pain has gone, along with the first few layers of skin. It was never so bad that it blistered but I have lost a small patch of skin and will need to be careful now for the rest of the season. One of the side effects of frostbite is that the affected area becomes very sensitive to the cold increasing the chance of my nose suffering the same fate again.

Mof - get those needles cracking before I loose my whole face!!

Hello, 'tis your cousin Duncan here. Is this Niall's blog? If not, my apologies for the misposted message. If so, then hello and I hope you're enjoying your alpine fun. I'm somewhat unwell following celebrating my 40th at the winter solstice at Stonehenge... will I ever learn?
