There is nothing nicer than having a little weekend away to a new and interesting place. My family and I packed an overnight bag and drove up to Wiltshire where we had a visit to Longleat and a historic village called Lacock.
Longleat is a safari park with a beautiful manor house attached. I think I've only been once or twice when I was tiny so this time round was the first time that I was able to admire how beautiful it all really is. Also because it's pretty much Christmas now (kind of) you can imagine how Christmasy and sparkly everything was. Even though I love going to the zoo, this wasn't really the reason why we went to Longleat. Up to the end of December Longleat put on a Festival of Lights where it was all very Chinese themed with lanterns, thousands of brightly coloured lights and stalls with Chinese features.
Who remembers Postman Pat?! |
Hat - (not sure where I got it from but there's so many in high street stores atm!) Turtle Neck Top - ASOS Belt - Primark Floral Skirt - Topshop Chunky Chelsea Boots - Primark Coat - Primark |
Even in the daylight it looked incredible, however when the sun went down and the moon went up it was a completely different story......
The pictures don't show enough of the light projected by the amazing displays. It was honestly breath-taking how delicate but 'in your face' all the features were and it definitely is something I'll remember for a very long time.
Then we walked around the Abbey grounds which was so autumnal and pretty. No describing words i the world could even describe how amazing and breaktaking the grounds were....so I'm just going to let the pictures do it!
Do you recognise this from Harry Potter? |
I really hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed my weekend away.
Where's a place you've been to recently that you've loved?
Love Hannah
