how was it for you?


Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Ours was quite quiet but nice and relaxing with family.

On Christmas Eve the house was tidied and then we decided to go for a walk.

It was a bit chilly and rain was expected later so we stayed local and walked through Rough Hey Woods towards the village. The trees were bare and we could see our house through the branches as we climbed the hill opposite to it.

Then we reached the open fields and walked along the track

Where we called in here for a bite to eat and a drink

When we left the rain had started and it was getting dark
and we had quite a walk facing us.
Vintage place cards
Christmas day dawned and we opened our stocking gifts in bed before going down stairs for some breakfast and the main event.
We received some lovely gifts from family and friends.
Then my mother and father in law came for lunch.

I used these vintage snowmen place cards which belonged to Hubby's grandma but she had never used them.
It was a lovely lazy day, watching TV and chatting, eating and drinking.

Boxing Day and this time it was my Family's turn.

Another relaxing day...with plenty to eat!
Since then we have had plenty of visiting and a bit of walking. I will leave that until the new year, but until then.....
I wish all my lovely readers a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2012.

  3. It sounds like a lovely Christmas. Your lovely walk photos make me feel homesick, we went for a walk here in Kent (my Sister lives near us and we were at hers) and we spent the whole walk discussing how it's not like Yorkshire - lol! There was at least one motorway and train line in sight and hearing distance the entire time. Ah well, Kent does have it's pluses so mustn't complain. Glad you had a good one. Bethx
