Santa at Savill Garden

Today James was very excited to be able to meet Santa at Savill Garden! He had been practising what he was going to ask for Christmas. His answer would be “chocolate and a train set”, in that order!

At 2pm Santa arrived in his sleigh pulled by reindeer. There was a large crowd and the children were just thrilled to see him. We had pre-purchased a ticket so we went into the garden to see the reindeer whilst we waited for our ‘appointment’ with Santa.

We also enjoyed a coffee, babycino and Christmas scones for afternoon tea. I had a look at the very posh decorations in the shop but after Copenhagen I thought we might need a bigger tree if I bought any more!

As we stood in the queue James spotted Santa in his grotto. He got that funny bashful look on his face then leapt out of the line and ran around in circles! We said “Merry Christmas, Santa” and I took their photo. James placed his order and added “please” at the end! Santa gave him a little gift – a grown-your-own seedling kit. James said “thank you” and we wished Santa a happy Christmas.

There are a few photos here.
