Back in Leeds

We had a great time in Seattle, but it was nice to get back to Leeds--school is back in session, Headingley is packed with students again, and the leaves are starting to change colors


Light Night was the first Friday after we got back--so glad we caught it! This is the main council chamber in the Civic Hall, where a youth music school group was performing

I love Light Night!

Inside the Corn Exchange

This brown thatched cottage in the centre was part of a Narnia exhibit--the wait time was about an hour, so we skipped it, but it looked really cool!

On Sunday we went to Bolton Abbey after church


The views are incredible--we appreciated the gorgeous Yorkshire landscape even more after being away






We sat on the river bank & shared some biscuits with the ducks

Richard went across the stepping stones (I took the bridge this time!)


Last weekend was extremely pious--on Saturday night, we went to a charity harvest supper & quiz night at church, and on Sunday we went shopping for the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox after church. It's so fun to shop for a little girl and I always pick things I would've loved as a kid, like the art supplies and the Hello Kitty stuff. Last year, our box went to Romania--according to the website, it was one of 977,880 boxes that went to 15 countries!
