Still centre in the middle of whirling chaos

We were frozen out there in the middle of Syon Park, nearing the end of the Enchanted Woodland walk. Loads of trees and plants, beautifully and spookily lit up, dry ice floating around the place and a bit of the old Edward Scissorhands music coming up at us from out of the flowerbeds.

The children adore being out at night. The dark is a really novel experience for them, and they are now at the ages where magic, fairies, pixies and gnomes have a real impact on their lives. This walk is a great warm up act to the first window of the advent calendar, and early thoughts about letters to Father Christmas.

This pic I like because it shows the Nip calm in the midst of whirling energy. And that's how I see her.
