This is what we are seeing outside our windows at the moment. The snow is quite heavy out there, but Berlin being Berlin nothing shuts down. Tough luck.... I envy all my British friends and their free days as everything can't cope with the snow or cold. I love the church tower- it reminds me of my time in Italy.
So we wondered around some Christmas markets today. A little disappointing but the food and drinks are always good! Yummy pig on a spit. The plastic knives and forks might as well been a spoon for all the use they were.
The ceramic stands are always great. I really like looking and admiring but the problem is that what on earth would you do with half of it if you bought it? My husband calls them 'dust catchers'. I think he might be right but it never stops me looking.
This was the sorriest excuse for a Christmas market, not even one decent craft stall worth drooling over. I felt sorry for the horses but they looked very well looked after. But, the mulled wine stall here was superb. Quite a few sorts- with rum, amerreto etc. mmmm!
In the middle of november we had soem freaky waarm weather- it got up to about 16 degrees! Quite alot of flowers and plants started flowering. This is one of the poor victims.
After we went for a small stroll on the water as the sun started setting.
