After a hectic final week at work, finishing reports and helping run Christmas parties, we flew back to blighty for a few days with Ali's family in Yorkshire. Despite the best efforts of the British weather, we went for a couple of lovely walks, caught up with friends and family and enjoyed all the usual Kennedy hospitality and Christmas fayre! I also learned to knit thanks to Ali's Mum so watch this space for my first creations...
 |
| Matt deep water soloing over a newly formed lake at Brimham Rocks... there'd been a lot of rain! |
 |
| Santa was incredibly generous and my stocking even had my name on it! :-) |
 |
| A Christmas morning stroll around Emley... |
 |
| Amazing bright red berries - very Christmassy :-) |
 |
| Chef extraordinaire bastes his two turkeys... My roles were list checking, washing up and drinking mulled wine :-) |
 |
| Ali enjoying the cooking - we even had a brand new oven to play with :-) |
 |
| The beasts are done! |
 |
| Dinner is served! In the true spirit of Christmas a ridiculous amount of food for four people! |
 |
| Starting a bracing boxing day walk to work off some of the two turkeys (and of course work up an appetite for turkey sandwiches and more christmas pudding!) |
 |
| Mud, mud, glorious mud... |
 |
| Up through the green fields - I love Yorkshire! |
 |
| Castle Hill! We've seen this from the car so many times, but this was my first visit! |
 |
| View over Huddersfield from the incredibly windy summit of Castle Hill... |
 |
| Sheep with great haircuts! |
