Sometimes Mum makes decisions that really ought to be questioned more thoroughly. Yesterday was one of those days. \u201cWe\u2019ll travel light to Zermatt,\u201d she said. \u201cWe won\u2019t need much stuff,\u201d she said. She took the bare minimum. Except there were some things that should have been in the minimum that she didn\u2019t think of. There was no towel to dry me and Shadow, but the hotel gave her some old ones so that was ok.

Shadow by name, which was lovely. I didn\u2019t really like the train we went on to get there. I don\u2019t understand when I had to pay half price for my ticket they then expected me to sit on the floor. It was no fun not being able to look out of the window.
