This afternoon Andrew, Carla and I went to the Cologne Christmas market on the Southbank. Carla and Andrew are pictured below. The German market promised ginger bread hearts, mulled wine, sausage and all manner of festive goodies to buy. It didn't disappoint - except for the gingerbread which was full of additives and preservatives and vacuum wrapped! I did get the most divine bath melts which are scented with orange and cinnamon, really Christmassy.
The solitary merry go round - which is a permanent fixture of the Southbank was made German by way of organ music and made festive as it was belting out popular carols and Christmas tunes.
There was also a "Slow food" market on the Waterloo side of the Southbank Centre - with lots of tasting opportunities and some lovely meat, cheese and bread on sale not to mention the hog roast and lamb burgers! The slow food thing is back on the weekend of the 19th December!
