Final trip to the Bath Christmas Market

We took one more trip into the Bath Christmas Market. I had stopped by during the week and was able to get a wonderful brat with spicy German mustard without waiting in an interminable queue. We decided after decorating the house and cleaning up the garden that we'd walk in on its closing night. Driving in is nearly impossible. Buses and hundreds of extra cars aren't made for Bath's narrow georgian streets.

My brother Bob informed me that the market was on PBS this past week. It has grown geometrically in the last four years. But, Bathonians are beginning to complain about the huge traffic issues that have arisen. We'll have to see how that affects next year's planning.

Anyway, a few more photos.
