Explore London

This year Nanna surprised the boys at Christmas, with a minibreak to visit Warner Brothers Studios Tour: The making of Harry Potter.  Tucked in between Christmas and New Year, we took a short 2 night trip to Hemel Hempstead and whilst we were down south looking for other activities for the kids, we found tickets to visit Legoland Windsor at Christmas.  Legoland Windsor is a fantastic place to visit any time of year, but it comes alive during the Christmas season.  Twinkling lights, festive decorations, and a sprinkling of Lego magic transform the park into a winter wonderland.  Our recent visit was nothing short of magical, and I'm here to share all the festive fun with you!
