Yesterday we left Cornwall for the first time in several months. We've been looking forward to our Christmas break since well, the summer! Living even further from family than we did in Brighton has been quite hard, especially whilst trying to settle into a new place. So we're very happy to have a whole week up in Birmingham and Shropshire with sisters, parents and the bro-in-law.
My twin sister has lived in Birmingham for seven years and told me about the German Christmas market every year of those seven. Finally I got to sample it yesterday, as well as having a tour of the new library which is one of the coolest buildings I've ever been in! I was pretty excited to be in a city, and to be around lots of people - I just stood in the crazy crowds in the market with a big silly grin on my face. I have missed this.
So hooray for libraries with amazing city views and German sausages and beer, and meeting my sister's friends, and gingerbread lattes with girls and a baby, and Christmas :-)
