Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘Market’ and you can read more about that below.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU WISH TO LINK UP! FROM NOW ON, THOSE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES WILL BE DELETED.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week. Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Market
Ok, seeing as no-one corrected me last week I’m back with another week 49. Looking back it looks like I missed out week 36, so I was a week ahead of myself. Anyway, can you believe it’s the 49th week of the year already (Again!!) This week my word is Market as we took a trip to the German Christmas Market.
I’ll share some photos of our lovely day out on Sunday. We were quite cold but it was a fairly mild day and it didn’t rain. It was also not very crowded. The last time I went to the German Market it was hard to move anywhere. I’m glad we decided to go midweek and fairly early on.
We had a walk around the stalls and Boo was like a spendaholic buying gifts for all her friends, and even her Dad (but not me, boohoo!) We all enjoyed German Sausages and the kids had crepes, doughnuts, biscuits, pork scratchings and schokokuss, which are chocolate covered marshmallow on a light wafer base. (and one of my favourites of the market buys and the photo above is from the box mine came in.)
We also watched the kids ride on the carousel, but neither were brave enough for the helter skelter. There were no carols playing but I guess they have music at the weekends.
Do you have a Christmas market near you?
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
The German market sounds like a lot of fun! I wish I could brave the cold! One day this week I was on the bus but it got so cold that I actually felt ANGRY! lol Glad the kids had a whale of a time. Re the week numbers, I never ever checked, I always just assume it is right as you put it. Anyway, have a blessed weekend and a great week next.
I have such a nice memory of the one Christmas market we went when we were in London years ago. The Schokokuss are a big thing here in Israel. We call them Krembo and everyone loves them. In the summer we eat ice cream and in the winter Krembo.
I love that you have Krembo. The closest thing I think we have to Schokokuss are chocolate tea cakes, which are not to be confused with baked tea cakes. But they do have a wafer and marshmallow and covered in chocolate.
Oops! I never noticed you messed up what week we were on. I went wrong doing my Project 365 post earlier in the year.
I am so glad you got to go to the Christmas market. It sounds like you had a fantastic day! I love the sound of all of the food.
The nearest big markets near us are York or Lincoln which I would love to visit but I imagine them being so busy and expensive. x
to be honest, I mess up every year, lol. We did enjoy the market and all the food.
Sounds like you had a lovely trip to the German market. Glad you had dry weather and it wasn’t too busy. I like the look of the schokokuss. I’ve seen these on one of our local Christmas markets – might have to try some. #WotW
The schokokuss are really delicious, you should give them a try.
Last time I went to the Christmas market was accident! We were meant to be seeing Deep Purple at the NIA but because half of Birmingham was being dug up for the trams we didn’t get there so we went round the market instead.
I hadn’t been since before they started working on the trams. I was curious to see how you’d get through to the NIA from New St Station without using a tram, but we didn’t have time.
