A Winter Walk

Our family have many odd traditions, but one of my favourites is that we all gather at my mum's house for stake and chips on Christmas Eve. It is one of the few times in the year when all the family are together, it is a lovely relaxed atmosphere and as the photo of Robbie shows the food is rather good too (he is not usually allowed to eat that much!). Christmas Day and Boxing Day are rather more hectic, but they are still very special family times and despite our good intentions we always eat too much. So when all the festivities were over Robbie and I decided to kill two birds with one stone, we took a long walk to get some much needed exercise and to indulge Robbie's passion for all things railway by walking to our favourite preserved railway(The Northampton and Lamport Railway). It was a lovely walk in the snow and Robbie enjoyed taking photos, but by the time we got back to the car I was so cold that it was painful. Here are some of Robbies photos
