THURSDAY
The turkey I ate... a chocolate one that arrived in England via the post thanks to my dear mother.
The doors lead to the basements/cellars of the townhouses above.
The road that is closed due to the Christmas Market generally doesn't receive much car traffic anyway- people always walk in the middle of the street. A carousel now sits in the middle of the road.
Bath Chronicle is trying to get some more subscribers. Some of the Christmas Market stalls.
The River Avon is flooding again.
Bath Bakery truck sitting outside the Bath Market. Bought a pumpkin for making a pumpkin pie.
Over the pass couple weeks children have had the opportunity to make lanterns at the Holburne Museum. The lantern procession was headed by a drum band as everyone made their way to the Abbey in celebration of the opening of the Christmas market.
There was a story animation projected on the Holburne Museum.
People poke the window to watch the lantern procession as it heads along Pulteney Road.
The march went along the River Avon. Can you spot Santa?
A video that includes a dancing Santa.
More people looking out their windows at the festivities. The procession ended in front of the Abbey, where there was also a story animation being projected on the building.
The Christmas market at night.
Making fudge.
Attended a concert of American song at the St. Mary Church.
American singer, Maita Robinson. English singer, Vikki Champion.
Both of them had voices with a beautiful range. They sang mostly cabaret and opera styles.
There was an intermission which allowed people to mingle and enjoy some "American cakes." I am not sure what they considered to be American cakes, but it appeared that most people went for either red or white wine.
Most of the time they alternated singing songs, though the last song on the program "Bosom Buddies" by Jerry Herman was song by the both of them. The encore was "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off."
Giving a Thanksgiving hello to the family from 4,700 miles away.
