I love a Christmas light trail although this winter, opted to visit them between Christmas and New Year rather than earlier in the season. Considering we’ve not really done much during the last year, it was surprising how few dates…
I love a Christmas display, but there’s only so much N can take. Especially when it involves stately homes. I had persuaded him to do the outdoor Christmas light trail at Blenheim Palace, with our tickets deferred to this year…
