We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to
the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the
tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.
Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as he used to. However this meant
that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place
we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very
pleasant!
I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley (峡谷) below us, of the morning
sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains (蒸汽火车) are very
popular. I have taken many photos of the train and I really want to share them with you.
Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early (we usually expect snow in January). It
rained all day, and then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!
Both Jenny and I are well. I don"t know if I told you, in the last E-mail, that Jenny is now working in a
hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.
Please write to us to tell us your news.
Yours,
Victor
