“My wife divorced me because she said I wasn’t spiritual enough.”
Wintering in an Alpine ski resort has given me opportunity of meeting
all kinds of interesting people who have made their homes here temporarily or
permanently. Some of these I meet in our little Anglican Church congregation
and some out in the wider community. In the old days ski bum was the preserve
of the teens and twenties; now you get them in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. They
all have a story to tell, and perhaps even a skeleton or two in the cupboard.
The above-quoted remark came out casually from a church member.
