On 8th of December, Sutton House boarders went on a trip to Leeds Castle Christmas market.  Although it was a bit colder than we expected, the clear sky and the shining sun promised a lovely day.  We strolled through the market looking at a wide range of festive decorations, toys, and seasonal gifts.  Christmas tunes, tempting food smells and the nostalgic Victorian carousel in the centre of the market altogether created a joyful atmosphere of Christmas time.

Almost running out of time, we suddenly decided to take on the challenge of the Leeds Castle maze, which took us no longer than 10 minutes to solve and find our way out.  Also, it gave us the opportunity to see more picturesque views of the setting and take some photos.

Many thanks must go to Mrs de Castro who took us on the trip.  We spent a great time together and, without a doubt, got in the Christmas mood.
