Ode to December

It's December! (Yay Christmas run up!) And in consideration of this, I'm going to write a happy post! (Yay no teenage angst!) 

So I've taken lots of photos on various trips recently, and I think it'd nice to publish them here, in the name of December and festive spirit.

 A few weekends ago my family and I drove up to Chester for a cousin's Christening and family gathering. We went for a walk on the Saturday afternoon, and the area was stunning; especially in late Autumn

 Last weekend, my Mum organised for us to go on an evening trip to Waddeston Manor in Aylesbury, where they were hosting a Winter light festival. It was AMAZING. Wrapped up tight in my coat, scarf, mittens and boots, and with a camera round my neck, I was in my happy place. 



Yay for contemporary weird/awesome-ness


Fuzzy view of the lit house, oooh so orangey


Each room of the house was dressed in the style of a particular countries' cultural Christmas traditions...I think this was England


Where's Wally?


Most gorgeous staircase I have ever had the pleasure of walking up


In the Finnish room...with a cool lady (a post to come about her, she was inspiring)


Mirror selfie in the room of the Ice Queen...#nomakeup


A funky art installation in the room of the Ice Queen...I feel like it perfectly symbolises a domestic dinner time argument, ha


Okay so I legit had palpatations waking down this hallway, it's like all my dreams come true at once...although the doorway does kinda look like death which was rather disconcerting.

Hope you enjoyed having a peruse of my some of my winter snaps, and are feeling suitably festive :) This made a pleasant break from my habitual depressing narratives, so I'll be sure to add picture posts up again soon.

To end, I wish a merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night x
