The Christmas market is filled with beautiful smells of food including cheese, sausages, chocolates, hot drinks.....and much more! There was so much choice, I didn't know what to have but after trying a few free tasters of cheese and chocolate I decided to have a halloumi cheese wrap which comes with hummus, lettuce and fresh tomato.
We walked up the stairs and along to the typical Christmas market stalls. I knew the Rekorderlig Cider Lodge was there so I was eager to find it as I'd heard it was worth a visit.
I ordered a Hot Winter Cider, served with a slice of orange. It came in a cute mug, you pay a £2 deposit for the mug that you get back when you return the mug. Mmmm......it was good, it warmed me up, it smelt like Christmas. Being in the lodge with a warm cider also felt like skiing, I imagined I was at the top of a mountain minus the ski boots! As someone who isn't the biggest fan of cider I thought it was great. However, when I got to bottom of the mug it was very sweet, but that is just my opinion!
Outside the lodge there was a Christmas tree maze, it looked good fun. We looked round the rest of the stalls.
Macmillan Charity had a huge Christmas tree, you could make a donation and write a message to hang on the tree. The man told me that they have raised £10,000 so far from this simple yet fantastic idea.
The festive fun continued at Somerset House, the beautiful tree, ice skating and Fortnum & Mason Christmas market.
The main reason for going to Somerset House was to see photographer Guy Bourdin exhibition. See my next post "Guy Bourdin: Image Maker" for all the details.
Covent Garden was our next stop, real reindeer & a browse through the shops and stalls.
Here are some snaps from the day.....
