She and I went to Birmingham yesterday for the Christmas market. It's a bit early in the year
but we don't have any spare weekends on the run-up to Xmas left, so it was now or never. 3 and a half hour's driving and I bought nothing. I did find a couple of baubles and some new tree lights on Saturday, though.

On the plus side, I got to go driving for three and a half hours in my awesome car.

Our German market is the biggest I the UK apparently.
Overpriced tat mainly. It's only a hotdog and a fucking beer ffs.

Proper German sausage is so much more than a hotdog.
I miss Germany, especially at this time of year.

In Canterbury the have a little Xmas market thing with a stall cooking massive German sausages over a fire pit.
It's awesome, and the sausages are about 3 times longer than the buns in which they are served. This is the correct ratio of bread to meat.

Yup.

It is, it's huge.
For the most part it's pretty grotty stuff, but I have picked up a couple of things in the past. We were in Berlin last year, so we wanted to have a nose about for comparison purposes.
