    Bath Christmas Market

    On Sun we took of on the train to Bath, where they always have a really good christmas market ... there must be 150 stalls plus scattered around the little streets and squares ...
    Sat night we had some close friends around who live away a bit now and we only get to see them about 4/5 times a year


    They went home late and we had to be up by 6am .. heres a pics from our little garden with the moon and church tower just after 6am


    Then it was on to the station ... where we started to meet and have a cuppa




    Then we were on the platform


    Elaine sorted every1 in their seats


    And we were off

    Great pictures.

    How I miss the European outdoor markets, Verona Italy always had a fantastic Christmas market, but I was not kilted back then.

    A super set of pics Derek, very festive and colourful.
    I've passed through Bath on the train a few times, keep meaning to stop off there some day for a walk about.
