The Christmas card look is here, a bit late, but many parts of Gloucestershire are looking stunningly beautiful, so if you have your camera handy then get snapping as the '2009 Gloucestershire at its Best' photography competition will be returning in March, and this time sponsored by Jessops for a chance to win £250 of vouchers. Winners for 2008 will be announced very soon.

Once the snow has cleared the first snowdrops will appear throughout the county with an amazing display at Colesbourne Park - so again keep your eyes out for that perfect photo.

February is also the month of love and the Wharf House restaurant are not only getting romantic for Saturday 14th, but Valentine love can last the whole weekend for Cupid to fire the arrow of passion for couples across the county.

We also have a half term school holiday this month and as ever Explore Gloucestershire’s list of activities and things to see and do is on hand to help you keep the kids entertained.

Again. there’s lots of offers available with Explore Gloucestershire and PrintMyOffer.com, including great discounts on meals, tickets to visitor attractions and balloon flights over the Cotswolds.

If you’re a thrill seeker, we’ve two great action-packed experiences to be won this month. Enjoy adrenalin-pumping fun racing round the circuit at JDR Karting, or go commando in the Darklight Lasertag arena! A ‘Wine & Dine’ evening is also on the competition menu – so there’s something for everyone. Enter the competition...

Have a great February!
