But a word of warning about the Christmas Market we've been a couple of times - once the week before Christmas during the day on a rainy day and the other time last year on Saturday evening a couple of weeks before Christmas. The first time was super, pleasantly busy and loads to see albeit we could have done without the rain but it may have kept the crowds away. But Saturday evening was absolutely crazy busy and unpleasantly so. And at night you lose your bearings easily and we missed quite a bit because we just couldn't face fighting our way through the crowds. But do go just pick your time and maybe the early bird does catch the Christmas worm!Jenny - the lilac cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341506207731309678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524960354656106962.post-40645792616652788262015-10-20T23:12:20.663+01:002015-10-20T23:12:20.663+01:00Glad you survived the fall.

I am so pleased that people are still investing in libraries. Books are important!<br />Kathy@KayakQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11353296552837405021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524960354656106962.post-41069558598270968862015-10-20T21:44:05.398+01:002015-10-20T21:44:05.398+01:00Ping pong in the library !

He pulled a knife on my brothers over a very slight disagreement about a computer game that we owned. It then turned out that he had about 10 knives with him!

Sorry about the broken mug (and the presumably scraped knees/dented pride) but thank goodness the biscuit barrel survived!
