About 3 weeks ago we had some friends come up to Leeds to visit us. I used to share a house with this friend almost 20 years ago, (wow - that makes me feel so old) before I left to live in America. She has since married and they have 2 beautiful children. It was great that they could come and spend the weekend as we had not seen them for 4 years.
We spent a lot of time exploring around Leeds. The picture above is taken about a mile or two from where we live, on top of Rothwell's colliery. In the distance you can see the city of Leeds. I imagine we must be at a fairly high elevation here because even the kids noticed that the clouds seemed really close. It was so beautiful to look in one direction and see Leeds, yet then to turn and view miles upon miles of rolling hills.
The following day we were able to drive to church in the van. It should have taken us 30 minutes, but it took an hour as we got lost several times!!! In the afternoon we visited Leeds Armoury. It is an incredible museum (and thankfully free of charge). The boys really enjoyed it and have already been back for a second visit.
