December

Winter Wonderland walk of the Park.

We wander the park enjoying the smells, sounds, and sights of the park in high winter. I wonder if we'll have snow on the ground and falling around us like last year? As in previous years we'll be offering alcoholic and non-alcoholic Mulled Wine, along with festive food and goodies.
