Boxing Day

The Next Couple of days during and after boxing day, family from both sides coming in to say hello. But of course we reckon just saying hello is quite boring, so we took them over a couple of day onto all the walks around us. Over three days we went on three separate walks across the Forest of Dean. On Boxing Day the family and I headed up to May Hill. The largest hill in Gloucester. With a total height of 999m, it is not classified as a mountain. For May Hill to be a mountain it needs to be a minimum of 1000m. Just missed out. Although it is just a Hill though, the scenery is quite astounding.

On the Second day of Family Gatherings, some of the family from Paul's side came along and we walked along to a place called Saint Anthony's Well. This area was surreal for winter. Whilst the Weiss family were telling me it would be freezing (Because it's Winter duh) there will be next to no leaves. But what we saw was something you could only see in the movies or in the rarest of autumns. 

All the pink leaves had fallen from the trees and made a beautiful environment. A lovely stroll through the countryside was exactly what I needed to get to know the family a little better. 

Third day Zoe's family came back around where we went for a little walk along a small mud track. Unfortunately though i did leave my SD card in my laptop so i couldnt take any photos, but it was a quick tour of all the areas where freeminers could mine in the forest. To celebrate boxing day for three days was cool and a very surreal experience from a tourists perspective.
