The magic of fairytales

 I am a person who likes parts of Christmas and strongly dislikes other bits. One thing I really don't enjoy is the crowds [and the rampant mindless consumerism] so I find strategies to get me through the madness of the season. As previous years' posts will show I am a sucker for a bit of festive sparkle and magic which I think the National Trust does superbly. When the NT first announces its plans for all its local properties I have a rootle through to see what appeals and then plan my visits for early in the launch. That way I get my fill of Christmas cheer, but am away before the masses descend. This year I have sneaked over to a place in Hampshire [more of that next week] and my lovely local Nymans. Aware that not everyone is a fan of this time of year such posts will be sprinkled in amongst the usual nonsense that I natter on about🎄

Thumbelina



Cinderella 





Goldilocks and the three [polar] bears. Wonderful attention to detail right down to bear themed Christmas cards.





Snow White






Beauty and the Beast.



🪄Hope you have a great weekend🪄
