Today for my wondrous adventure, I stepped into the wild city of Manchester (which is only a tram ride away from home, but it's the thought that counts). Every year, Manchester hosts a 'German Market' where you literally have to battle through the flocks of visitors from all across Northern England, or make your way through the crowd by waiting patiently for hours on end, I chose a bit of both as crowds are a natural phenomenon in school corridors, I have learnt to make my way through without pushing people into gutters (hoorah).
(in this photo I took it doesn't look too busy, but I did have to take 6 photos to make sure I got the picture of the gap through the people)
Despite the horrible amount of people, I will still go every year just to feel the Christmassy atmosphere of the place through the hustle and bustle of the visitors as it just makes you feel all nice as cosy.
I also bought most of my presents today and not too last minute for once! I got my secret santa's present, my mum, my aunt and another friend's present today (as well as a cute mug for myself)
As you can see, I bought a lot of soapy things for people, simply because it's easy to buy whether it's from lush like the snow fairy shower gel, or to the soaps from the christmas market at 7 for £10 which is decent for christmas (ish). For my friend, I bought a dinosaur plate and bowl from cath kidston, as well as a mug for myself seeing as everyone keeps stealing mine...
Anyway! If you're ever around the North of England around late November/December, you should definitely take a look at the german market in Manchester as it's just wonderful! The atmosphere is magical and there are so many stalls, from foods and chocolates, PLENTY of mulled wine everywhere, beer stalls, jewellery and general other gifts, a hog roast, you're bound to find something lovely there to treat yourself to, or to give as lovely christmas presents to others.
Thanks for reading, I hope you have lovely holidays wherever you are! ☺
