Last week we travelled to Wiltshire, where Mark’s family live, for Laura’s first taste of an English Christmas. Over 5 fairly packed days we celebrated Jesus’ birth on earth, and saw quite a few family and friends!
It was fun to catch up with people who we hadn’t seen for a while. Some of the friends I grew up with are now getting married, or are already married and having children! So it was good to see them and see how their lives have changed over the past few years!
Now we’re back home and have a few days to relax before I go back to work again on Monday. It’s nice to have a bit of time to ourselves, and a chance to read some of the books and watch some of the movies we were given for Christmas!
Here are some photos from Christmas day…
