Puzzle

Got this jigsaw for Crimbo.  It took about 2 full day's of power jigsawing over the Christmas break to finish it! It's double sided but the other side looks really hard so it might have to wait.

Walk

Went on a local walk with Will, Karen & Bobby.  Called at the fairly recently re-furbished Boat House opposite the newly revamped Roberts Park.   Then went up to Shipley Glen passed the (unfortunately) still closed Glen Tram Way to the Old Glen House and on to the The Glen.

Trip to Filey!

Christmas Traditions - Part 2

Part 2 - Never ice the Christmas Cake until at least the day after Boxing Day!

  Somehow I never get around to icing our Christmas Cake until well after Christmas Day. So this has now become something of a tradition, along with decorating it with 20 year old flotsam of various scales.

Earthquake!!!

Just after 9 o'clock this evening an earthquake hit the North of England. Karen felt it sat on our sofa in Bingley - though I was only sat about 5 feet from her and I never felt a thing. But it has been felt up and down our street. Apparently it was 3.6 on the Richter scale and the epicenter was some where near Harrogate. (As reported on bbc, itv and sky).

Boxing Day
