It's starting to feel alot like ...

... xmas :-)

We drove ALL the way to Münster (Germany) on Saturday afternoon for the xmas market. And it turned out to be a horrible and long drive because there was a freeway closed for maintenance :-( BUT the xmas market itself was lovely :-) The historical centre of Münster is picture perfect, and once darkness hit all the buildings were lit up with pretty fairy lights. That, and all the stalls selling bratwurst and gluhwein, made for a very special xmas (for me at least !!) atmosphere.

AND as you can see here in the photo we have our own xmas decorations now in the house :-) It is all very "gezellig" (no good english translation for this word!), and the temperatures outside are becoming more "normal" for this time of the year. Today we had a maximum of 0c and last night it was down to a minimum of about -4C brrrrrrr. The nice new woolly winter hat I found at the xmas market came in handy this morning cycling to work!

Oh, and we managed to find yet another snowdome for our collection ;-) This time of Münster city itself.
