It’s never easy to try and get a photo of Christmas lights without having lots of shoppers in the frame… maybe I need to come into Bath a lot earlier in the day, or late in the evening once everyone else has gone home!
The Corridor never fails with a suitably seasonal display, and maybe next year I’ll be able to get a better photo that shows more of the lights in one go.
It’s almost impossible to walk along the London Road and not catch some amazing sunset shades in the sky at the moment.
Walking along Green Street, I spotted a Christmas display I must have walked past lots of times before and never noticed.
This was the display above the The Old Green Tree in Green Street, which just goes to show that if you don’t look up above the windows, there’s a lot of things you’re likely to miss!
You can’t have a “Happy Christmas” post without a photo of December 25th, right?
After the first year when SouthGate made a mistake with their Christmas light display, and had “Merry Chrislmas from SoulhGale” it’s always good to see the current year’s display has no errors!
I will admit this photo had to be mirrored, as I was facing the wrong direction to get the writing to show up clearly. Those light certainly look a lot fancier than the ones in the rest of the city.
For a ‘traditional shop’ photo, you can’t beat the sweet shop in Abbey Green, especially with their Christmas decorations and lights!
I can’t honestly say I’ve ever noticed the Chapel Arts Centre before, but their vivid lights caught my eye as we walked past.
On to another window display, and this was Mebyl in Cleveland Terrace.
Coopers have a knack for an eye-catching window display, and their Christmas window is no exception. I just hope that Father Christmas manages to get unstuck before he needs to deliver all those presents on Christmas eve!
It’s almost the last day for the Bath Christmas Market for this year but I couldn’t resist a photo of the stalls in front of the Abbey.
And the Christmas Market wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t get a photo of Father Christmas.
Back to the Christmas Market, where there were a few less crowds today. First stop, outside the Pump Rooms where the ‘silver man’ wasn’t surrounded by quite so many people as normal.
Then on to York Street, where you can just about make our the moon glow above the market’s string of lights.
And finally, down to Southgate, to see the Christmas Market stalls, and the Southgate lights (which look somewhat fancier than those in the rest of the city!).
How many times do you stop and look at a shop window display? As we were passing TR Hayes, their train layout caught my eye…. the only thing my companion said it was lacking, was he wanted to see the train moving!
Adding to the seasonal appearance of the Christmas Market, Bath Street has its very own fake snow blowing through the air…
accompanied by cries of “It’s Snowing!” (although I’m not sure anyone was fooled!).
It’s surprisingly challenging to take a decent photo of the Abbey, with the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Market, but I managed to get these two without getting caught up in the crowds.
