Darrell decided to leave the best till last when he took Nigel to Birmingham for the day, to give my face a rest ……after several hours of adventure in Selfridges, Darrell led Nigel into the city centre to view the Teutonic splendours of the Christkindlmarkt …….
…… and not for the first time that day Nigel’s senses were assaulted …..
…… by the sights, sounds and smells and tastes of German festivity and Anglo activity. There were frankfurter stalls and sausages beyond his wildest dreams ….. which resulted in much robust and noisy nomming ….. after he and Darrell availed themselves generously of all the sauces provided!
There were so many beautiful things he wanted to touch, but in the end Darrell had to tell him to keep his hands in his pockets for fear of delicate Yuletide objects being accidently broken.
It was all too wonderful for words …..
….. and a genius idea of Darrell’s to start Nigel’s the festive season in the most romantic way ….. for tomorrow ‘tis the 1st of December ……and then Advent will be upon us ……
