The site is closed until March 2025 and the staff are away enjoying a well-earned break with their families over the Christmas and New Year period. Much as we love to welcome guests throughout the season, there's something very special about having the site all to ourselves in winter.
Boxing day here started with blue sky and sunshine however the mist slowly rolled in by lunchtime. This meant that by the time we had got ourselves organised to take a wander around the park to work off the Christmas excesses, it was somewhat chillier than earlier in the day. Not only that but the fog lay low producing an eerie, yet in its way a rather beautiful atmosphere.
I didn't spot it at first but my eagle-eyed son, Ashley, pointed out the heron at the side of the lake in the distance. He often visits us, undoubtedly with the intention of having something to eat. Thankfully he's not generally greedy and I'm sure he knows better than to tackle our big fish!
Though it may not look too inviting on these misty winter days, the fishing lake is a popular spot throughout the season. I love to watch the large carp cruising around beneath the surface like submarines, soaking up the sunshine whilst teasing the fishermen.
