British Christmas Market -
Fifth (I think) Christmas Market in Saint Jean Pla des Corts.
Lots of British Christmas treats - food, cards, crackers, drinks, presents ...
Always draws a great crowd.

You're missing this years Fayre. I bought sausages and sausage rolls, and tomato chutney. Oh, I think there was two or three mulled wine with mince pies. Ooops, I forgot I tried the annual Christmas baguette with turkey and cranberry sauce, with a coke. Not bad for 1 1/2 hours of shopping.
You still have time and the parking isn't bad.

Christmas Fair
Wish we were there!
Unfortunately sitting at home in Northampton waiting to hear when mum is getting out of hospital after her fall (nothing broken fortunately). Quite mild here and no wind.
Bob will be over for a week next month. We all hope to come over in January for a few weeks.

We were very pleased with the Xmas Fayre yesterday. Bought some Christmas goodies, mincemeat, cakes, wine etc. odds & ends from the very devoted animal charity lady, books from the equally devoted CSF lady, were intrigued by the very creative "nappy cakes" made by a lovely S.African young woman, met some old friends and introduced our French companion to mince pies. ("interesting" was her verdict..)
A big thank you to the organisers.

Probably it's too late but next year could we make a list of the people selling their goodies that day.
I know the couple which sold sausage rolls and chutney but I don't really know their names. Nigel is the husband and he's photographer and he lives in Sorede but many of us like the products they had. Being able to find them somewhere in the PO Life maybe.
Maybe some of the receipts at the fayre, a bit could be paid to the PO Life people for getting some group adverts after the fayre. Ten percent of the table cost could be paid for a nice advert of the vendors each Xmas Fayre.
It's just a thought but maybe it's worth wondering it's possible. In the meantime, I'll have to find where Nigel's wife sells her pastries on the local market weekly.
