A bit dull, but a temp of 70 F still. The light brighten things up.

Pity they will all be gone when we go in January :( :( The frame work stays for quite a while. They were errecting the large cone shaped one when we were there on Nov 3rd.

Have they pinched that cone shaped tree from Albert Square Manchester as there is a REAL tree there now?? Have we got our decorations up in Manchester already! Must go and check them out, is tehre a Christmas Market too?

Jo, Not that I have been to Manchester recently, but a lady was being interviewed last week for a news item about the Super Nanny's that are being paid for by the State; in front of the stalls ( Bavarian like 'sheds' with opening doors) Looked to me like the Christmas market type, but as to whether it is permanent, or whether it was a visiting market I don't know.

That sounds like the Christmas Markets they have had for the past couple of years. Must go and have a wander round and buy more Christmas Decorations we don't need! :lol: :lol:
