Christmas Markets

Last year we had a really nice couple of days in Metz for the Christmas Market. With a total of 11 days off again this year I have started to look at going away again.

It looks like France again and I found that Strasbourg has one of the oldest markets in Europe each year from early Decenber to the 31st.

I had a quick look on booking.com for a hotel and they are a bit on the pricey side, but have found a decent looking, and highly rated, three star close to the city centre by the railway station.

Now just a quick check to see if we can get the cat looked after and about the channel crossing.





Update:

Plans were put on hold as soon after publishing this post the cat took a turn for the worst and we had to take her to the vet's and she was put to sleep.  She was nearly 21yo and had a tumour that was inoperable and she was unable to eat or drink.

Although some people said that we were too rushed we had been thinking about a dog once we were cat-free and so that's what we did.  A rescue dogged we renamed Reggie joined us in November 2014.
