2nd December 2022

We hope you've already done something to get into the Christmas spirit! Maybe you've bought your Christmas stamps, or got the giant inflatable snowman out of the loft ready to put up this weekend.

We decided to visit the opening night of the Brussels Christmas Market - spread over the whole of the city centre, from the Bourse to the Grand Place to St Catherine's Place. It was a marvellous 24 hours with surprise Canadian dancing (and bison), eating all our Belgian favourites, and looking at fantastic lights and decorations.

And it's not long until we visit the Finnish Christmas market in East London - stay tuned!

Advent Calendar 2024

1st December 2024

Happy Advent! It's not often the 1st December is also the 1st Sunday in Advent, so we get to open our advent calendar AND light the first candle on the Advent Ring. Alt-text for the young people: a picture of an old-looking man (who frighteningly is only 31) about to set fire to a complicated construction of flammable tinsel and coat hangers. Welcome to year X of our Advent Calendar (it's probably 22 or so) and as usual we will be sharing the best of Christmas preparations and traditions as they come to us. Place your bets now on how long it will be until Adam is more than 24 hours late posting on the blog. Since we have a Blue Peter picture today, here in detail (from the "Blue Peter Make Cook And Look Book" 1978) is how to make your own Advent Ring, and for the girls, some Tinsel Birds.
