Lincoln Christmas Market

Oops, has it really been 2 months since I last posted? I have been a little uninspired recently, and always said that I don't want to force myself to blog, I want it to be a natural process. 
But I've picked myself up again and Im bringing you a lovely post about the wonderful Lincoln Christmas Market which I went to on Friday last week with Daisy and Amy.
Amy picked us up at 10ish in the morning and we drove our merry way towards Lincoln, there were many giggles and questions about Amy's music choices. We got to the park and ride and got our tickets, the bus ride was really short so we were at the Market in no time.   

Lincoln Cathedral

After a quick pit stop for wee's and cash, we made our way into the Castle where we all got German Hotdogs, I had a Bockwurst, they're my fave. We got a cuppa mulled wine too to start off the whole experience, it was a pretty wine'y wine too. 

After trawling through loadsa stalls, we came upon a pickle man, I couldnt resist and got myself 5 jars of pickle. Ive already cracked into two of them, they're so tasty! I also picked up 4 cheese bombs from the cheese man and ALOT of fudge from the fudge man. (all the stalls are being named by what I purchased from them)

We ambled around and popped into a pub for a pint and to relax our feet.

We all got our pictures taken with some Owls, even got a polaroid picture after. 

We looked at many crafty tents and stalls, my fave was the Bauble'arium!

Trying on headbands.

 The Lincoln Eye.

We ended our day with a giant hog roast sandwich which was most delicious! I love the Christmas markets, and Lincoln never disappoints.  A super fun day was had indeed. 
Do you go to christmas markets? Which ones your fave?

Lincoln Christmas Market

Saturday night I went to Lincoln with my mom and dad for the magicalness that is the Lincoln Christmas Market.

I friggin love going there every year.
There is something so magical about having a market at Christmas time, then add the castle into it too.
And a cathedral as well, it's like fairytale goodness!
I am ALSO, a massive sucker for a market too.

(these pics were taken on my phone, hence the poor quality)

That being said, on with the festive cheer.

We went into this little boutique shop, it had loadsa nifty alternative Christmas trees.
They were great, I do love the ol' conifer tree, adorned with baubles and tinsel, but I love an unusual tree.

This one reminds me of the tree my mom created when we were living in South Africa. She had this branch which my dad mounted in a silver bucket, and painted silver and glittery.
She had it in our sun room and it had lights wound round the branches, just for decoration, but one Christmas she decided to decorate it with these wire fairy's  we had, and added more lights, and a string of pearls, and diamante chains.
It was so beautiful, and it was our very own enchanted Christmas tree.

I loved this idea of a chandelier tree too.

If my mom hadn't already seen this card, I'd have got it for her for her birthday next year, its hilarious!

Please excuse me whilst I squeal... look at these gorgeous Christams snow globes!

I just love seeing all the crafts and creations people are able to make. I wish I could do stuff like that. 

And of course it wouldn't be a market without a moose burger, no?
I have never seen moose burgers being advertised ever... surely moose is reindeers cousins????

Mmmmm, christmasy treats!

Isn't the Cathedral so glorious!?
