early xmas in ossett

ay up! we spent the weekend in yorkshire with s's family and had a lovely time. weather was nice, but a bit parky like. ecky thump.

(be nice, i'm trying! check here for more yok-sha words)

one of the downsides of this time of year is that taking pictures during an afternoon walk gives the impression that it was much later in the day. sorry for the poor lighting...








xmas was fun. much gift exchanging and merriment.










there is also a story to the record visible in that last photo (yes, vinyl!) s dug it out to play the firm's 1987 hit star trekkin' for me.

what? you don't know it? sing along - it's easy:

Star Trekking, across the universe
On the Starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk
Star Trekking, across the universe
Boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse


on sunday, we took a walk around the spring mill golf course in fierce winds.

















i feel like that last photo needs a caption. anyone? leave a comment below... ta!
