With Christmas creeping up fast I have started thinking about what to have with our roast this year. While the daughter will have a slice or two of turkey, the rest of us are vegetarian, so require something different. 

The site has a gorgeous rustic style cafe and we had a really lovely meal there on Saturday night. Sat under twinkling fairy lights with good company, a large white wine and a big bowl of pasta - it was pretty perfect. Sunday morning we waterproofed up and explored the Druid's Temple a short walk from the cabins. It was a little eerie in the winter rain and wind, but also full of wonder and history. 

A real tree isn’t a cheap option, so naturally we all want to choose a really good one – but it can be quite bewildering knowing what to look out for and what to avoid when you make your choice.  Here are some tips on how to pick a really good Christmas tree.
