Greetings from Vienna

I had a great time, a few photos just for a laugh - I hope you love my new hat

We visited 5 or 6 Christmas Markets

And saw lots of "Hummm, I could make those" things

And lots of pretty lights

And drank a fair amount of Gluewein (brilliant idea, the mugs come with the drink for a small deposit, so you can drink while you are shopping, then return the mug to any drink stall at that market, and get your 2 euro back, or keep the mug). Nicky, Liz and Liz



We did sit outside with hot chocolate, thanks to the Ikea blankets provided by the cafe, Jane

And this is Hayley showing us a big pair of Mozart's Balls
 (Sue, how did you manange to avoid photos?)
