A Christmas Eve picnic

Just like last year, we spent a lovely relaxing day at Grass Wood Nature Reserve.
Unlike last year, it was a rather pleasant day. The wind was down to a minimum and not once did it rain!


I love coming here. The atmosphere is so tranquil and undisturbed. Well, besides the odd dog walker anyway! The paths wind through the trees; an intricate dance everyone should walk every now and then during their life.


There are area's of this enchanted woodland shrouded in bright green moss. A healthy sight for any keen wildlife eye. A spongy covering dresses the rocky hillside, creating a lush vegetated landscape.


After a good couple of hours walking, observing and simply losing yourself within the finely tuned circle of life, we headed back to the car for our festive picnic.
A picnic, in the middle of winter?! I know, a far cry from the typical warm summer days but folding the back seats down and pushing the 2 front seats forward, the inside of a car is a very spacious place!


A classic picnic rug thrown on the floor and a traditional basket can be quite the sight for any passing stranger. Christmas shaped party food creates the perfect ambience.


This Christmas Eve couldn't be more perfect!
