Christmas 2009: a visit to the UK

Christmas 2009

We paid a brief visit to the UK this Christmas, via the ferry from Zeebrugge to Hull.

My parents intend to move house next year, so this was also the last opportunity to see the place where I grew up.

We were also lucky to enjoy a nice bit of seasonal snow: enough to set the mood but fortunately not enough to block the roads!
