Egluntyne Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Happy September 1st everyone. Where has this year gone? It is frightening how quickly the time passes. We are on the countdown to Christmas now! ** 116 days left if you include today. Better get a wriggle on! Nights definitely drawing in....although still a chance of an Indian Summer. **See the **Manchester Christmas Markets 2008** thread in the "Get togethers" section.

Christian Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Where has the year gone?? We lit the fire last night as it was chilly. Glad you mentioned Christmas Egluntine. I am always scared to! Looks like I will be bidding for Manchester trips in December then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Oooh, do come.....It was lovely last year. The food and the gluhwein (sp?) was divine and we had such a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I always make sure I get at least one German trip in December, so I can visit a market. The food is the best bit! Will have to see what Manchester can offer this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Have a look**here**. Many of the stall were German. I'm drooling just thinking of the cheeses. Oh....and the sugared almonds. Heavenly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Oh....and the sugared almonds. Heavenly. The translation is German is burnt almonds! You should try the macadamias! And the cashews.......! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa33 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Do they sell Currywurst at the Market? That is the thing I miss most about Germany. I still miss it and I moved back to UK 20 years ago I can't believe it's nearly Christmas!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I just don't know where this year has gone I'll have to get a wriggle on if I'm to complete this year all the things I said I would do this year Definitely an Autumn nip in the air this morning when I let the girls out and I've seen 'Christmas biscuit boxes' in M&S at the weekend I love this time of year - the time to reflect on the year so far and start to make plans for the next year :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chichi Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 my husband is soooo jealous. He used to live in Germany and really misses the curry wurst. We go to the Manchester markets at least twice a year as we live about half an hour away. My fave is the milk chocolate covered strawberry and banana kebabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
