With all the bad news we need positivity sometimes.

I just stumbled across a Canadian couple visiting Christmas Markets in Cologne, Germany.

Now that I've slept 11hrs (!), here are pics of the market yesterday!

I haven't done this for years, so it was a good trial run for Spring. Pretty happy w my display, can organise / pack it faster now.

In the corner by Santa's Grotto, meant hidden behind line of people tho 😅

View of a long trestle table covered in jewelry, from an angle and looking down. Green velvet covered the table, on which necklaces and boxes are arranged. Behind is a chair with a black rose embroidered hoodie, and wood panelled wall.

View from the chair. I'm in the corner by the stage, on which is a Santa's Grotto of green branches and decorations, pile of wrapped gifts and empty chair. To the right another stall is piled with tubs of honey. A red triangle warning sign that reads Bees in French.

Part of my table viewed from above. Top centre: colourful wire wrap necklaces in boxes. Right: bronze coloured necklaces and chainmail. Left: tiaras on lighter green fabric. Bottom: silver wolf moon pendants with various stones

Another part of the table, mostly bronze and copper necklaces, with leaves and animals.

We had a great day at the Bicester Christmas Lights Switch-on Market, selling Try Dive vouchers, running a tombola, and chatting to people about the joys of scuba diving and how to get trained or cross over from PADI.
