Christmas Time!




Mistletoe and Wine! Ah its time for Cliff Richards, too much food, bad weather, horrible crowds in shopping centers, girls walking around with short skirts in the freezing cold and all other manner of festive follies that we all love so much.

A first for me this year was the Continental Fair held at the City Hall in Belfast. Thats what you can barely see in the pictures. I decided to visit the fair on possibly the worst day and got totally soaked yet again. Hence the blurry photos as I was trying to hold my umbrella and the camera at the same time.

Anyway, there are alot of great stalls where you can buy all sorts of great stuff from Europe like dutch cheese, german sausages, spanish paella, french bread, pastries and some more international fair like mexican food, Indian curry and even Kangaroo burgers...didnt try that though! I'm going to try to get some better photos before the festival ends so hopefully I can upload them next week. I still want to buy some last minute christmas presents from there too...I did buy some garlic cheese and lots of lovely pastries already....might get some more...lol.

Ah Glennie boy...I knew it was you. Subtle clues like sarky comments, a year in Oz and then the smut. I hought about the Austin Powers thing but was sure until that last comment...you are a funny one.
