It wouldn't be Christmas now without a trip to a Christmas market. When I was a child, I don't remember there ever being such a thing (well, not here in the UK) but now, well they're everywhere.
It does mean though that you can have a little bit too much of a good thing. Some towns I've visited just have a few sheds with the same things in every year. Other places though know how to do it properly - and Bath is one of them. With over 130 stalls dotted around the historic Abbey and Pump Rooms, it's a fantastic day out in beautiful surroundings. We were there for a whole day but I'm sure there's some bits we missed!
The disembodied head of the stall holder in this shot amuses me - I had no idea she was there at the time!
There are so many hidden gems in Bath if you take a few moments to stop and step away from the main high street.
And of course, it wouldn't be a day out without the obligatory Christmas jumper - this little gem is from Primark this year.
I could have spent a small fortune (esp on the macron stand!). These are a few of the bits and pieces I came home with.
How beautiful is this? Who wouldn't want a jammie dodger from Speckled Wood on their Christmas tree?
Bath Christmas market was beautiful. It was the perfect way to spend a day with friends Christmas shopping and generally having a great time. If you get the chance to visit next year, I would definitely recommend it.

Oh, I love a Christmas market! Bath looks wonderful - I've never been. The best one I've been to was in Sweden, it was so lovely and they had reindeer there, a little less out of place than in Blighty, haha. xx
