The day after Christmas is known as Boxing Day in the UK, and is a national holiday. It's a very popular day for people to go out and take a walk (a very British pastime), so we were not alone in our decision to visit Stowe House in Buckinghamshire. It was a beautiful National Trust site, dating back to the 1500s (although the house was completely rebuilt in the late 1600s). It was a huge estate, and we only covered part of it during our walk. It was a chilly day but nice to get out and see a little sunshine (rare in the English wintertime). We at lunch at the cafe on the property before going out to explore.

We enjoyed a quick hot chocolate to warm up before heading home!
