My Favourite Place

I have many favourite places in this world but one of them is a big love of mine in Nottingham: Rufford Park. 

Whenever I feel stressed or anxious about anything, or even if I just need some fresh air, I love to go there. 

It's one of the most beautiful places all around the year. When the lake's frosted over in the winter and your breath is clouding the air in front of you, or when the sun is beating down in Summer and making the lake glisten over every inch; it's always stunning.

If you ever come to Nottingham I recommend you put at the top of your 'Must Visit' list. Although I love places like Sherwood Forest too, it's just the constant calm of Rufford Park that attracts me to it. You have more room to think than you'll ever need, and you can walk forever and always find something new to see every time.

Rufford Park

Hello!

Sorry for my absence over the past few days but it's that time of year where I have to pack up my room and move back home for the summer! I'm not sure whether this should be a good thing or a bad thing... I don't want to leave some of the amazing friends I've made this year but, at the same time, I'm super excited to see my family and friends!

Although most of my weekend has been spent packing up my room (I didn't realise, until now, just how much stuff I have managed to accumulate here!), I did take time out yesterday to go for a lovely, leisurely walk around Rufford Park, with a friend. 

It isn't the first time I've been to Rufford Park but yesterday was the first day I've been and it's actually been nice, relatively warm, weather and it was beautiful!

There were lots of cute little ducklings too! I love going to somewhere like Rufford Park at this time of year because you see nature at its best. I think everything is always so pretty at this time of year when the blossoms are blooming and there are fluffy ducklings swimming in little families around the lake, it makes the park look even more stunning than normal.

If you've never been to Rufford Park and you're in the Nottingham area you should definitely go. It's beautiful and there's a lot of history in its beauty too, which are very kindly explained on plaques spread around the park.
