We had to wrap up warm for some of the weather we had - thank god for central heating! We had the traditional night out on Xmas Eve with a Leyland pub crawl with friends, then a great Christmas with my family, a boxing day party and a few days sight seeing including Blackpool and the Lake District. Then we moved south to Exeter to stay with friends and to Bideford in Devon for a fantastic unforgetable New Year'x eve night out. Finally we had a couple of days in London and then it was time to fly on to Thailand for the next adventure.
