Festive spirit

The morning we left Amiens the snow had finally started to fall. We sat in the warmth of the hotel enjoying our breakfast together, chatting about our weekend and watching the streets outside slowly becoming white, full of snow, just beautiful.

Our friends were heading back to the UK, and we were driving across to Reims to meet another friend at the Christmas market there before heading home. It was about a two hour drive to Reims, then the same again to home, so a nice break in the journey.

The Reims Christmas market was huge, full of colour and excitement. They had lots of handcrafted items, and also food stalls, along with, of course, Champagne. We are, after all, in the capital of Champagne.

Such a wonderful way to get thoroughly into the festive spirit.
