	Winchester's Christmas Market and ice rink has opened - I avoid it if I can, though may walk into town that way, and pass through it. It's just so expensive! :-0 I suppose Christmas in Shetland was nice. Just the two of us, (and the lodger's dog). A croft house in the middle of nowhere, huge peat fire, Shetland lamb and roast potatoes in the oven, gas light (only in the living room - the rest of the house it was candles). Wine. Snow - nay, blizzards, a howling gale - and knowing we actually couldn't get anywhere - even if we'd needed/wanted to!! :-S

	and Christmas spent 'elsewhere'. With the "European Christmas Market " opening in town today ( wooden chalets or "sheds", depending on your sense of romance) and no doubt more across the country soon, where have you been for Christmas that was really 'different' to your home turf? I have always rather fancied going somewhere with guaranteed snow for Christmas, proper snow ( been to Austria when there was snow but not at Christmas) gluwein, roaring fire and candlelight :-)
