New Year’s Eve
Because it wasn’t cold enough in Oxford, we went north to York for NYE 2009. We purchased a hoard of fireworks, which Kate thoroughly enjoyed setting off out the back of Danielle and Roger’s house. I had a big rocket which I set off. I did like the instructions on the fireworks.
1. Set up in a safe area (away from houses and trees)
2. Light fuse
3. Retire 10-15 meters.
“RETIRE!”… I don’t think I’ve run so fast in a long while…

It also snowed on NYE which was lovely, so we walked into the Minster and hung out with all the other idiots who thought being out at midnight was a good idea.
We also went over to Leeds to see Dave, Rach, Archie and Ella. Archie was very pre-occupied with a new DVD he got for Christmas featuring diggers. I must admit, it’s good watching!
