We were lucky enough to spend March in Australia. Our first visit and we only managed to scratch the surface. A wonderful country and, as with New Zealand, so welcoming. We hope to go back very soon.

Review of the Year Part 1
An eventful year which began with a visit to Singapore and New Zealand.
Christmas at Dunham Massey
Dunham Massey is a National Trust managed property close to Altrincham in Cheshire, North West England. For the last two years they have transformed the gardens into a wonderful experience. They have created a light trail which is about a mile in length and is an excellent way to usher in the festive season.
It is extremely popular so advance booking is essential and you can do so  via their website for the remaining times available before it closes on December 30th.
There is much to see and admire despite the freezing cold conditions on the evening of our visit. Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera so had to shoot these photographs on my phone.
It was perhaps the lighting of the trees which gave the most spectacular results.
There was plenty of choice of refreshments in the courtyard area close to the house and they were doing good business on such a cold night.
