Bath Christmas Market

The Christmas market in Bath gets bigger and better each year. It started out as a small affair of wooden huts nestled round the abbey area selling cheap trinkets, but this year there are local traders with far better products for sale. It looks most attractive as the daylight goes and the lights come on. The atmosphere is very festive. We clambered into this huge deckchair and a passerby offered to take our photo. It caused quite an audience and a lot of laughter. After we got out everyone else was queuing up to have a go!



















Not the easiest deckchair to get out of!

  2. Oh, what a lovely town. It is just what I pictured in my mind as an old, beautiful British city at Christmas time. Did you get to see the art show that the blogger aka Tom Stephenson was assisting his wife, H.I. with putting together? Her work looked very nice and one of her T shirts would have looked good on you.

  5. That chair provided hoots of laughter every few minutes as people flopped violently back into it. H.I.'s exhibition was just behind it - as you can see from the banner. Did you visit it? I was expecting to see you but maybe you went in at a rare time when I was not there - like the last exhibition!
