Since there is no „linner“ thread …
First Sunday of Advent marks the time the Duvel family ventures into the accompanying Christmas market season. Today we met with some friends at Heidelberg.
We started with some quick Glühweins mit Schuss (mulled wine with a shot of Amaretto). This picture shows the process how to distribute 4 Glühwein between three persons (one of which values his privacy) …
Plan was to get the little one (and his similar aged friend) tired out early, so we had then ice skating. First time 😉. He managed with a bit of help …
Fueled by a lot more mulled wine (that makes you impervious to the cold) and some potato pancakes (dito), that were inhaled before any decent picture could be taken, we moved to the area around the market place …
Kids got crêpes with Nutella & cherries, as they were in dire need of calories after 1.5h of ice skating. Older ones had anothr Glühwein. Or two.
Moving on to the university square, where all the artistic booths are …
Woodwork …
Fur …
Old timey stuff …
The Christmas star shop (that has seen a lot of business from my side in the last decades) …
And finally: the wild boat sausage from the hunter cooperative. Looks unspectacular, but is very, very good. Enjoyed with Düsseldorf style sharp mustard. I had two. For the dinner thread, of course !
Finally a round on the carousel and everyone agreed that the day was a success and that -4 oC were reason enough to head home …
No complaints. Except a bit hungry …
