Angus & Flora 2023 Week Four

December 22nd::  The Elves discovered a stash of cardboard tubes in the bathroom and have been having a tree building competition. Flora's tree is very impressive and bedazzled with tinsel, Angus' is...barely a sapling!

It's the last few days of Angus and Flora! Thank you everyone if you have been following along, I hope these two characters have brought you a little daily smile and some festive cheer. I am absolutely sure that they have already booked their train ticket to return next year! 


December 23rd:: Zipwire!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............................


December 24th:: Happy Christmas Eve!! The Elves are celebrating at Bedgebury Pinetum, enjoying the light displays, eating marshmallows, and Flora even got a Christmas kiss!

We had such a wonderful evening at Bedgebury, it's an amazing light trail through the Pinetum with little food and drink stops along the way, a section to toast marshmallows, a Father Christmas stop and a couple of little old fashioned children's rides at the start (which Baby F went on twice and would have gone on many more times!). Reece and I have been a couple of times before but this was the first time with Baby F and he was beside himself with excitement!





Luckily it was fairly dry and sheltered as you walked around, although very windy in the carpark, and the little breeze you had made the lights dance all the more. We enjoyed loaded mac 'n cheese, mulled apple juice, hot chocolate and marshmallows on the way round which all just topped off the evening. 

Pretty much all you say on the way round is "ooo", "wow" "look at that!", "that's amazing!" or "so pretty!" I think we might try and go on Christmas Eve again next year, it was a magical experience that really kick started the festive three days. Maybe next year Baby F will have decided to walk around rather than just bounce up and down in his buggy with excitement. 

From my family to yours, I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas period! Happy New Year too!
