Christmas is almost here

Yes kids you can feel it in the air, well you guys can probable feel it in the amout of sweating your doing. But here we have lovely cool and sunny days that though short, about 8 hours of light, are magical. Saturday we leapt out of bed and dashed off to town for Christmas shopping. We found a lovely holly bush for our garden and a real live wreath for our door.

We indulged in hot chocolate and sweeties and shopped until we dropped. Friday Night of course being the 1st of December saw us decorating the tree though the house lights won't be finished until next weekend. Sunday was a windy day though we did manage to track around to Wimpole Hall, a very old manner that has been commericalised a little bit but still has most of its charm. It costs about 20 pounds for two to get in and they place is still a working farm. You can buy lovely country produces there including cheeses, meats and chuttenies. They have a restaurant, book and toy shop as well as a bit of a garden centre. There are lots of long lovely walks to do around the country side and there are even draught horses there pulling carriages. So there is fun for all.
