O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!









Making the first use of our National Trust membership card we went to Lacock Abbey as they were holding a Christmas Tree Festival. The pics do not do it justice as it was a beautiful site to see all the Christmas Trees lit up in semi-darkness around the cloisters. We also visited Santa's workshop/grotto (apparently Santa was too busy to be there but Mrs Clauss was there to show us around). Plus an additional pic of our tree at home.

Salisbury Cathedral Carol Service





Justin and I got into a Christmassy mood but going to Salisbury Cathedral for the BBC Wiltshire Carol Service. The service was very good and the brass band got us into the spirit of things by playing some festive tunes such as Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells etc as well as the more traditional carols. We made a day of it by getting to Salisbury in the morning and having a look at the Christmas market and also had a lovely lunch. Just a few pics from the service (I wanted to take a pic of a full rainbow that appeared outside the cathedral as we were waiting to go in but Justin didn't want to get the camera wet as it was raining but if you go to www.facebook.com/bbcwiltshire there is a pic of it on there as well as others). Many thanks again to Nanna & Grandad for looking after Ben.

Snuggle Up


Its been a miserable week with both Ben and Mummy having colds so what better way to get better than snuggle up with blanky and a cosy dressing gown for some Cbeebies action...Looking forward to a new week! (and get well soon Pappa!)
