Happy Christmas!

What better photo for Christmas Day than the December 25th store?

Unfortunately December 25th closed down on Saturday December 23rd – I wonder how long it’ll take before another shop moves in, but I don’t think they’d be able to outdo the eye catching look of December 25th’s windows!

Festive Scenes

If only the ‘sound and shot’ setting on my phone would let me transfer the sound to the computer, you could hear the carol singers in fine voice outside the Abbey.

Moving up through Bath, the Corridor’s lights are really effective, illuminating the way towards Union Street.

The Return of the Merry Go Round

Now the sheds have all been disassembled after the Christmas Market, the Merry Go Round has returned to its usual spot outside Primark. You’d think this would be an easy thing to get a photograph of, but trying to get a shot with no people standing in front is surprisingly challenging!

Glowing Buildings

There’s something about Bath stone which makes for some great photographs when the sun hits the buildings.

Believe it or not, this is the same afternoon as the previous photo!

Touring the Christmas Market

….Bath Street today, which can get quite busy, but is worth the walk down to the Cross Baths at the end.

Not surprisingly, nobody wanted to sit in the giant deckchair in the rain this afternoon
The dark sky and rain did make for some atmospheric views with all the lights though
Vintage Crepe & Chocolate had the perfect site for their stall, outside the Cross Bath

Touring the Bath Christmas Market

…on a rainy afternoon, but Santa was still doing his best to look cheery, even though I’m sure he’d rather have held an umbrella to keep dry!

Santa is in Orange Grove, outside the entrance to the Indoor Covered Market (which can also be accessed from the Guildhall Market).
