Hi there!
Can you believe that it is the first Sunday in Advent this Sunday?! Where has the year gone? I love this time of year though and all the preparations before Christmas. I can’t wait to bake and put the Christmas star up and to light all the candles.

We’re away this weekend though, for a quick trip to Bruges and Brussels and the Christmas markets. Last year I bought lots of lovely chocolate, an antique sceptor for the Christmas tree and on the way home we stopped at a French supermarket and filled the car up with goodies. Can’t wait to do the same this year!
I really recommend a trip to Bruges, the town is lovely and old, if you want to see what it looks like check out the film, In Bruges with Colin Farrell. Great film too.
It is a lovely time of the year and the trip your speaking of sounds awesome. Loved the film In Bruges with Colin Farrell too.
Aww so soon for Christmas isn’t it! And I remember seeing all of these beautifully intricate royal icing cookies in Austria-so gorgeous 😀
Yes, I don’t understand how anyone can be THAT good at piping.. Very impressive!
