First Christmas in pictures

A grand day out

My husband had a rare day of annual leave just before Christmas. Our initial plan was to visit Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, but what with nursery settling in sessions, Christmas shopping and other such errands time was short so we decided to stay more local and took a trip to Petworth instead.

We headed over to Christmas at Petworth House first off. It was very beautiful, but a little pricey. I do think this is common for National Trust premises and wish they could bring down the price a little. I love history, and immersing myself in it at historical buildings is something I enjoy, but sadly cannot afford to do very often!

We then pottered around Petworth town, got a bite to eat at the local deli and mooched about some antiques shops.

A really lovely day that I can recommend. They also have a fab Christmas market which I believe is the first weekend in December, and if you go sans children you can grab a mulled wine and curl up by the fire in one of the local boozers!
