London at Christmas 🌲✨ It’s been a Christmas tradition in our family that we visit the festive lights in London. It’s always such a fun, but really busy day! Sadly, I don’t think we’re going to make it this year as we have other plans, so here’s a few memories from last year’s trip. Do you have any Christmas traditions? . . . #coventgarden #christmasinlondon #christmasglow #christmasdecorations #christmasinthecity #londonlife

A few festive moments from my visit to Packwood House. This year the theme is a 1920’s Christmas—a tribute to the Ash family’s legendary Christmas celebrations! Owned by the National Trust since 1941, Packwood House is a timber-framed Tudor manor house in Packwood, Warwickshire. A Grade I listed building, it has a beautiful interior, with a wealth of tapestries and fine furniture, some obtained from nearby Baddesley Clinton. The house began as a modest timber-framed farmhouse constructed between 1556 and 1560. In 1904 the house was purchased by Alfred Ash, and then inherited by Graham Baron Ash in 1925. He spent the following two decades creating a house of Tudor character. . . . . #thatmagicmood #manorhouse #historichouses #december #christmastime #houseandgarden #packwoodhouse #folkandstory #medievalarchitecture #beautifulbuildings

Freshly cut Christmas trees smelling of stars and snow and pine resin - inhale deeply and fill your soul with wintry night! ~ John J.

Wintertide Magic at Hardwick Hall 🌿✨ Nestled in the heart of Derbyshire, Hardwick Hall is an Elizabethan masterpiece created by Bess of Hardwick in the 1500s. And what a woman she was! Married four times, outlived every husband, and traded up with each one! She was a mother of six and was the second most powerful woman in England, only rivaled by Queen Elizabeth I herself. This historic gem is filled with rich furnishings and tapestries preserved by successive generations of the Devonshire family. At present, the hall is dressed for the festive season, with twinkling lights and handmade decorations from the team at Hardwick. A stunning house, and well worth a visit if you ever get the chance 🤎 . . . #hardwickhall #bessofhardwick #historichouses #statelyhomes #elizabethanera #elizabethanhouse #16thcentury #chesterfield #derbyshire #peakdistrict #visitpeakdistrict #christmasmagic #derbyshiredaysout

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit ~ Robert Louis Stevenson A few November moments from my favourite forest. And a final goodbye to autumn, you’ve been a blast! 🍂🍁 . . . #ancientrees #forestbath #forestcoreaesthetic #forestdweller #forestwanderer #intothewoods #intotheforesttolosemymindandfindmysoul #weareforestfolk #quietthyme

Fear not November’s challenge bold. We’ve books and friends, and hearths that never can grow cold. These make amends ~ Alexander L. Fraser Clinging to the last moments of autumn (even though I was a little distracted by the recent snowfall!) 🍂✨ This season always feels so fleeting, but these last days of November are time for a gentle pause before the craziness of the Christmas countdown begins!
