It may be a bit quiet here on the blog for the next week or so. The Christmas markets have started and as a result we will have a steady stream of visitors over from home to visit them.
Soon I'll be sharing photos and tips for any of you who may want to plan a trip for next year. Germany's Christmas markets really are a highlight and one of the best ways to get into the festive mood.
Getting all your Christmas shopping done while surrounded by twinkly lights, the scent of cinnamon and vanilla in the air, a mug of mulled wine in one hand and a bratwurst in the other - for me the magic hasn't faded yet. I hope it never will.
Fionnuala, I have been here for over forty years now and the magic hasn't even nearly faded yet!! I also love the variety: in the bigger towns the markets are inclined to be more professional and commercial. In the smaller towns and villages the markets often only take place at the weekends and are more 'hand-made', but they have a charm of their own.
