It’s November and already there’s one house with a flashing “Santa stop here” sign. I grumble a bit but if I’m honest, I don’t mean it. I love Christmas and can’t wait to dust off my Dickensian street scene advent calendar. If like me you love ye old Christmas and festive joy, then head to Grassington in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for the annual Dickensian Christmas Market/Festival. The locals dress to impress in traditional Victorian costume and entertain with the toe tingling sound of a brass band, choir and nativity. Indulge in this traditional Christmas market by staying till dusk to properly soak up the magic that is Christmas.

Monument Valley is found on the Utah/Arizona border. Set amongst the sandy desert its rugged peaks create one of the most recognisable horizons known in cinema history. Visit for yourself in the winter months when there are less tourists. Enjoy the vast amounts of space and early morning sunrises to appreciate the true beauty and colour of this fine Oscar winning landmark.
