Bath Christmas Fair


Saturday 29th November- Ian and I jumped on the train and made our way to Bath. We arrived just before 11 as the stalls were starting to open. We took advantage of the early start and the fact that there were few crowds to make our way quickly through most of the stalls. There were lots of crafts, clothes, candles, and food (surprisingly a lot of cheese stalls). we picked up a few presents then made our way to a few of my favourite shops in Bath, including one stationary store where I picked up an advent calender portraying the Bath Abbey and Christmas fair stalls. After all our shopping we joined the queue at Sally Lunn's and were soon enjoying some warming soup followed by cream tea. We walked around a bit more after our late lunch before catching the 5:30 train back to Bristol. Once home we dropped off our purchases and went to an Advent service at St. Peter's before finally having dinner and unwinding at home

Home again


Since returning from Budapest nearly all the leaves have fallen off the trees. We've had a number of very cold days and the it gets quite dark early in the afternoon. However, we have a fantastic view from our window of st. peter's church.
