Christmas Fair

This is the Frankfurt Christmas Fair in Birmingham, now work that one out.

Well rather than travel over to the continent for the fairs, Birmingham decided to bring the fair to the people. Good idea really. Its genuine, does a roaring trade, especially in the evenings selling gluhwein and German beers.

A handy hint

Ladies.................................... something to remember when doing the Christmas shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!

A woodland walk

And all just outside the front door, well not quite, but its only about 1/2 a mile away. Its an ideal place to have a dog again, something I'll have to think about.!!

View from a hill

This is the view from the Garth looking down into Taffs Well. Its about 40 minutes trek from the house to here.

Austrian transport

Yes we had a holiday in Austria and the previous post was of Mozart's home in Saltzberg.

They like their bikes in Austria and there are cycle tracks verywhere, unfortunately though I did get to go on any.

A beautiful place, fantastic scenery and so clean and tidy that sometimes it seems unreal. But comparing everyday prices in Austria, Britain has got to be the cheapest place in Europe, ......if only we had the weather!!!

Its interesting that Alice in the previous post comments said the food was terrible, as I did'nt think so. But thats probably because us Brits are not reknowned for our cuisine and Alice is French.
