What is a ‘Traditional Christmas’?

What is a ‘Traditional Christmas’?

Christmas is a time of traditions. So many of us have grown up with our own individual family's traditions - those little things we feel we have to do every year, even if no one remembers why! Even little traditions like when you open your presents. Is it at the crack of dawn or after dinner? Or do you wait till Boxing Day! I have heard that the longer you wait, the posher you are (we open ours at the crack of dawn, so we're obviously not very posh at all.) The Polish tradition of Wigilia In Polish tradition, the…

When do you ‘deck the halls’?

When do you ‘deck the halls’?

I'll be honest I've been itching to put the decorations up since bonfire night! But, so far, I've resisted the urge - contenting myself with wandering around the beautiful Christmas displays at country houses and garden centres, making notes and stealing ideas as I go. Who can resist the wonder of Narnia at Castle Howard or the beautifully tasteful displays at Burton Agnes Hall - well, clearly I can't! Garden Centres outdo themselves every year, turning into magical wonderlands with festive events galore to tempt us in. From a Festive Farm Event at Eastfield Garden Centre to the spectacular Santa…

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

L.M MONTGOMERY - ANNE OF GREEN GABLES I most certainly agree with Lucy Montgomery on this one. I LOVE October! The colours, the crisp, fresh morning sunrises, squelchy muddy walks in wellies, kicking through piles of leaves and cosy fireside evenings. October conjures all these lovely images. Nowadays it is impossible not to forget Halloween.  I say nowadays – if, for those of you like me of a certain age, your childhood didn’t contain dressing up in a scary costume and knocking on doors to receive a ton of sweets from your neighbours. For us, the modern-day Halloween ‘tradition’ does…

Spooky October!

Spooky October!

(Pssst…Competition alert!) It's Friday - so it's time for another Top 5... and the weather is letting us know it is most definitely October, so here's our top 5 Halloween activities along the Yorkshire Coast.  There are various schools of thought when it comes to Halloween - there's the celebration of light (e.g. pumpkin making) or there's the scare yourself silly theory.
