A taste of Germany...in Leeds

On November 13th the Christkindelmarkt rolled into town and set up shop for the next month. The German Christmas Markets are quite a popular attraction with heaps of stalls and plenty of places to get a German beer or some mulled wine. Almost everyone from our flat congregated down at the markets and we all relied on Jan (Yarn) to translate for us!

In a few weeks time I will be experiencing the real thing in Germany!

Alcoholic peanuts...80% alcohol level!

The Garlic stand...clearly a popular attraction!

Jan sipping his mulled wine, thinking of home!
Ignore the Norwegian flag on his scarf...if the Germans found out I think he would be hung!
