You know the snow really has finally started to fall when you get a call from the lodge at about dinner time on a Saturday night. The caller has by this time had a refreshing beverage and is trying to work out what exactly they are going to say to the boss on Monday morning. Via phone. Feigning illness perhaps? Or snag an extra day of annual leave.

From my side it was easy, could they stay an extra night?

Sure, I said. (Wishing it had happened to me the week before)

Still, it is good to see the snow falling in buckets and even more satisfying that members and guests are inclined to seize the day and take an extra one.
