The first weekend of their Christmas fair. Unfortunately because of logistical problems they didn't have all the imported food and chocolate they normally have for sale - we'll just have to come back next weekend.
Had a terrible night's sleep for some reason, both of us tossing and turning restlessly for long periods, no idea why. Headed off for the Finnish church late morning in unexpectedly heavy rain which eased eventually thankfully.
No food but I did buy a few presents and new Christmas earrings. We stopped in the cafe for open sandwiches and cinnamon buns before nipping along to the Norwegian fair next door for a little more shopping - nice home knitted things.
Unfortunately they chose to call the raffle while we were still in there which became very annoying with the guy bellowing numbers through a microphone and lots of people standing around blocking the way as they waited for their numbers to be called.
We left hurriedly and mum had gloggi outside. Dave took mum home and I went on to ceilidh band class - last class and working on I'm going to Speke. Had a quick drink after before returning home for vegetable soup and our four Advent calendars (a normal one, a chocolate one, a cheese one and an online one).
Excellent shot, love being above. Shame about no food, hopefully next trip better. I order some things from the Scandikitchen shop in London, nom nom.
Cheese calendar.. kept in the fridge? Sounds excellent tho.
@blightygal@christinav so yes we get 2 big boxes of cheeses (12 at the beginning of Dec and 12 mid-month) with sticky labels on them for each day and you keep them in the fridge. We bring out a couple or so a few days before to put in the cheese dish.
