Thanks so much Anna! Lovely photos. As always Sophie and Children are a great combination

The photo of Sophie smiling at the little boy is lovely. She is such a natural with children. In another life she would have been a learning disability teacher.

 

[roseroyal]

And as a former Learning disability student, I agree. If Sophie had been my teacher, I would not have wanted to come home!

Sophie as a special educator would equal some very, VERY lucky children. She has a gift, that's for sure.

Could not have said it better myself! I swear the two of us should start a school with her, Victoria, William, Catherine, and Rh.

Countess forced to cancel visit to Peace Centre

Sophie's visit to the Peace Centre today had to be cancelled due to weather conditions. I am sure it will be rearranged for the future.

I'm all for that!

knew you'd get a picture - thank you

Here it is again, as the person who took this pic said to not use it, when I asked. Weird, since it is on twitter anyway. Well. I hope CSWSA will share pictures later, because somehow, magically, when Countess attends some event, there are NO photographers to be seen.

I am sure we will find a couple of photos of Sophie's visit. If not, I am sure she had fun as skiing is FUN. I know the Wessex's normally go skiing every year, as I remember the photo of Louise about 6 years old with holding her ski poles and helmet on her head.

 

[annaelfka]

I'm not so sure... It's weird, she's in Meribel, at Ski Competition, second day, and none of press agencies is there? Either she has some very strict policy about her pictures, or I just don't know....

 

[Molly2101]

It is odd but the Winter Olympics' are also starting this week and that attracts a lot of press agencies, particularly this year due to them being in Russia.

Post updated with itinerary on 4th February, and video with better view on Countess of Wessex.

Thanks for the video. Sophie's coat looks so toasty warm. I loved the snowball fight, how adorable was Sophie running away from it. I would have laughed so hard had she been hit in the face though....

 

[annaelfka]

For now pictures from Countess visit to Meribel cannot be shared, but there is hope, that CSWSC will share them finally, perhaps after HRH will come back to UK.

I think Countess office has some strict rules when it comes to sharing images from visits.

I love her purple pashmina.

Woah a whole album on the BRF website. Good job, Sophie.

I noticed she is without her engagement ring. Must be polishing day at Bagshot Park.

I love her purple wrap too - lovely pictures. Sophie has a gift with people which you can clearly see on this type of engagement.

The Countess of Wessex was out an about again today. Sophie was in Oxfordshire today visiting PACT, Parents and Children Today. She buried a century time capsule at Dorchester Abbey.

I love, love, love, love her coat. I do not understand why one woman needs so many coats, but I love it either way.

What's In Your Handbag, Ma'am? A little girl asks Sophie what is in her handbag so Sophie kindly obliges. It's mainly make-up, apparently.

I also noticed, via Twitter, that Edward and Sophie will carry out joint engagements on his 50th birthday. I have no doubt the primary school they visit will definitely give him a card.

Priceless! Got to love kids. I love that Sophie showed her. The combination of Sophie and children always brings a smile to my face.

 

[Valerie Rose]

Delightful that Sophie showed her!

 

[Daria_S]

I love it! I bet Sophie would be a rather delightful companion for playing dress-up .

Anna, I was just reading your article on Edward and Sophie attending the dinners for The Worshipful Company of Gardener's and I had never read that little interview Edward had given before.

"I'm always getting grief from my other half because the ones we produce are too sharp!" in reference to the strawberries Bagshot Park grows.

That made me giggle! I love the term "other half".
