Carp is a traditional Christmas dish here (meaning it's what a lot of families will eat for their Christmas Eve dinner, which is when Christmas is celebrated here) so coming up to Christmas carp is being sold everywhere - including out of the back of that white van in a supermarket car park and in the middle of my town square. The fish are sold live and some people keep them alive in their bathtubs for a few days to improve the taste and to keep it fresh.
The fourth Sunday of advent.
Early o'clock at the train station as I made my way back to NI for Christmas - a train from my home town to Prague, a bus to the airport, a plane to Dublin and a coach up to Belfast where my family picked me up!
Christmas Eve involved the dentist first thing followed by seeing lovely people the rest of the day.
A lovely Christmas Day fire!
It was so great to see the Bowmans and spend time with them on Boxing Day!
Waking up to this view at sunrise is something I definitely missed!
