Christmas 2009: a visit to the UK
— Spending Christmas back in the UK with family.”
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!

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not the Princeton curator, the US senatorial candidate, the Kentuckian pastor or the journalist from Arizona. In fact, I work as a consultant in User Experience and Information Design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Brussels, Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Ellezelloise Hercule.
