Build up to Christmas

Many people seem to gravite to the Cotswolds which I have lived in for over thirty year's but not really appreciated. So I am going to embrace the area that is within an hours drive of home and thought I'd share some of my trips.

I love being outside so it was great way to spend a couple of hours starting with a trip to The Sculpture Trail in The Forest of Dean.




It was surprisingly quiet, but it was chilly but great for slowing down and taking notice of what is around you.

My Son also loves photography and has recently bought the "classic" Polaroid which is great for instant development.

We didn't walk around the whole sculpture trail as we had a dinner booking but did see some beautiful things.

While waiting for Son I spotted these fungi growing on the tree, I absolutely love imagining little creatures living under them as shelter.

There was a mixture of weather from showers but then the sun popped through. You just can't beat the light and colours the sun brings.

On the way back to the car Son spotted these cool additions to the canopy which was so good.

So walk done we heading to a Toby carvery which I love as no cooking or washing up!

It was delicious and set me up perfectly for the last event of the day which is so special.

Visiting Tewkesbury Abbey for a Carol service. I will never tire of hearing them sing and the acoustics is just incredible.

Then for an end to a perfect day a stop off at a local pub for a refreshing drink.

What a great start to the festive season.
