HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
Christmas sees our family having the idyllic tradition of a Christmas walk. We are having Christmas in Leeds this year and so have met up with the Leeds clan to take a Christmas stroll.
Carina, Zipp, Finn, Alice, Keir, Mae, Mum, Dad and I (and Bowie the dog) headed from Carina and Zipp's up into Headingley. We ventured through the street until we came to "Woodhouse Ridge", a lovely walk through the woods, right the way behind Headingley to Woodhouse and then back past Meanwood.
I love walking in big groups - you always seem to talk more than you would in a house and meander between people and flows of conversation. I think that I catch strange combinations as I stop to take photos which means that I end up at the beginning, then in the middle, then a the end of the group.
We walked back past Meanwood and came across a bandstand base - it was amazing to see the drawing of what the path used to look like and that there was a bandstand up there on the ridge. The Victorians had it right I think!
We did intend to go for a quick drink at the pub before heading home to get the dinner ready, however it wasn't open by the time that we had got to it! Oh well, we had a lovely walk in the woods and had some great quality family time together. I really appreciate being part of a large family, especially as we all get on... well most of the time!
Lovely photos here...
