Amongst the snow and ice we went to Grandmas at Kirkby Lonsdale for a terrific lunch - a few piccies here including Matt with his new guitar, Helen with her pink boots and Angus and his new lorry. The previous 'Eve we had been treated to a number of spontaneous house calls from Andy Hancock, the Critchlows and the Bardgetts (pics from Christmas Eve here). Merry Chistmas!

Boxing Day - Dave, Kate and family visit

A great 6 minute video taken by Dave today of their visit, some present opening, a walk by the river in the snow, and some partying. Great day.
