It's all over ...

Well, Christmas 2014 has been and gone. Just like that. All over with before you know it. But what a fabulous Christmas. The day itself was quiet, with just the three of us and my mum for most of the day. It's nice just to spend time together and chill. We all received some lovely gifts too. But ultimately, we had time together. 

Boxing Day, for me, was a day to do the full lunch all over again for DH's daughter and her partner. It was really good to see them as we haven't seen them in months. So, time to catch up and exchange gifts. A good day again. 

Yesrerday DD was back at work so she took the car. More driving practice for her after we'd defrosted it! 

And today, as it was forecast to be sunny, we've been up to the Lake District for a short walk. We headed up to Rydal Water and walked on the slopes of Loughrigg Fell, looking over towards first Grasmere and then Rydal Water. 

It was a beautiful, if extremely cold, day. 

We got back to the van before it went dark and had a welcome cup of tea (or coffee for DH) and piece of stollen.
