Center Parcs Winter Wonderland Walk

Today we arrived at Center Parcs

Elveden Forest

We have been here before

I was very very very pregnant

With Matilda Mae

Now we are here again

Without her

And yet she is here

She is all around

Little signs everywhere

Pink and purple lights in trees

Stars floating on the water

Glowing

Reflecting on icy ripples

Elveden has been transformed

With lights and stars

Snow and festive friends

Even if I had to go home again right now

I would be so glad that I came

Matilda Mae is everywhere

On Monday our daughter will have been dead for 10 months

And I am glad that on the morning of her anniversary

We will be here

With our friends

  1. Oh your pictures are perfect!! It really is lovely here and all be little reminders were wonderful tonight. I’m so glad you’re pleased you came. I am too

  2. I’m so happy you are going to be with Susanne on Monday. I’ve been there when they’ve had some of their lights up. But your photos make it look truly magical. I’m really glad you’ve been able to find Tilda there xx

  3. I’m wishing you and Susanne a lovely (if somewhat emotional) break away. It looks truly magical.
    I bought a star jumper for myself yesterday and I think I will wear it on Christmas Day in honour of your beautiful baby girl.
    I’m sending virtual hugs until I can get to hug you and Susanne again soon xx
