Each year
that we go to Hardwick Hall for their Christmas display we wonder if
it could possibly be as good as the previous year's. With the
addition of the snow it provided the perfect festive backdrop to this
year's decorations.
The
magnificent entrance hall was shown off in all its splendour with a
selection of enormous Christmas trees.
Around the
hall there are themed displays based on Christmas songs and carols.
It's always fun spotting the displays and working out what they
represent. On the stairs we found three ships ready to sail in.
The 12
twelve drummers drumming are forming a guard of honour above the
fireplace where Santa is stuck up the chimney.
In the
chapel the three kings from the orient have arrived bearing gifts.
The dinning
room has been transformed into a winter wonderland with a snowy scene
of trees, twigs, snowflakes and reindeer.
The walls
are festooned with lights and garlands.
Down in the
kitchen the tables were laden with a feast fit for any visiting king
or queen.
Outside the
pillars are covered in swags of greenery from the garden.
Whilst most
of us may not have pillars at home to decorate there are plenty of
flower arrangements to take inspiration from.
All that was
left was a walk back through the snow and having a chat with some of
the other visitors.
