This year our family gathering and Christmas get together was at the Festival of Light at Longleat. Grab a coffee as this could be a long post as we had a packed day at Longleat. Morgan had been ill the day before and we all had a bit of lurgy so Friday evening was spent snuggled up at my parents house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately we were all feeling fine come Saturday morning. It’s a shame the same couldn’t be said of the weather. It was cold, wet and windy and there were extreme weather warnings in force all over the country. Freezing rain and gales were the order of the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived at the Longleat Estate nice and early so that we could get into the Safari Park before it got too busy and also pick up a voucher booklet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather wasn’t really an issue whilst in the Safari Park as we were safely inside the van with the heater on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did mean that many of the animals looked a little bedraggled but we could at least see them all. Zebra, Wildebeest, Ostrich, Kudu, Bongo, various deer and camels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
