[Open the door / Close the door]
I managed to get off work a little early today and so I was able to join Kerry and the kids in a trip to Beaumont Park to watch a local brass band’s carol concert. I know that it’s a bit of a cliché, but there’s nowt that makes me feels so Yorkshire as a brass band. It’s a beautiful round warm sound and, while I wouldn’t want to listen to it exclusively, a good band can usually keep my rapt attention for at least an hour or so.
We didn’t have much chance to enjoy it this afternoon however as we were two busy trying to prevent Amy and Evan trampling all the park’s flowerbeds. Still, it got us out of the house which is the main thing. We also met up with our friend Becky and her daughter Layla which was nice.
I didn’t manage to get any decent photos unfortunately. Yet again there was wonderful light, with a particularly nice sunset over Castle Hill, but I just couldn’t capture it. I think I’m going to need to take a tripod with me next time so I can use some longer exposures. This photography business is a bit tricky at times.

Hate to be a geographical pedant, but if you’re standing in Beaumont Park, how does the sun set over Castle Hill, which is to your… East? Maybe North East? Whatever, it’s not to your West – that’d be Crosland Moor. ;-)
