On Sunday evening we went down to my favourite place - Southbank - and checked out a Christmas Market festival called Frost Fair. It was outside the Tate Modern and there were a bunch of wiry deciduous trees all lit with green spotlights and it felt forest-like when you walked through them. There were also 70 stalls of christmas treats (churros - yum!) and crafts (glass ornaments).I particularly liked a band of minstrels that really set the mood. And while it wasn't 'frosty' out with ice or snow (as we know it is back home!), we were quite chilly and enjoyed steamy drinks made by 'Ye Olde Fashioned Drink Co.". I had hot mulberry juice and Syd has spiced hot apple cider. His definitely rocked.
We got a kick out of these 'frosty' guys from the Antarctic that walked among the fair.
There were also big angels and some elaborate elves and fairies. It was nice to escape reality for a while and enter this mystical place right during the Christmas season. Its a shame that it only ran for 3 nights or we would have gone back after work this week.
