I'm exhausted!

I've done my first ever bit of motorway driving today, in a round trip of 140 miles! Given that I have driven my OH's company car a handful of times so far, and that it is so totally different from what I learned to drive in, it was quite a big deal for me. However, it was all ok, and the friend that accompanied me on the whole trip (OH was there for half, as I dropped him off at Manchester airport) said I was noticeably more relaxed towards the end of the drive.

My husband is gone until Thursday now, so I am torn between visiting relatives and getting something done on the house to surprise him with.

Anyway, before I rush off to make an apple crumble to take to a friend's house, I shall post a couple of pictures from my walk at Roundhay park. There were three trees providing some wonderful winter colour, which was particularly striking against the gorgeous deep blue sky:



So I had a go at being artistic, and was quite pleased with this, given that it was taken with my arms stretched as far above me as possible!



More pics tomorrow, I am sure :-)
