It was a cloudy, damp start to the day and indeed as we four made our way through the cathedral parklands on our way to the weekly market at St Peters St, it began to drizzle. This was the first percipitation encountered all week and it really did not amount to much, just droplets clinging to our outerwear.
The market is an outdoor affair offering everything one could possibly want and/or need and then some! We were greeted by a group of carolers under the ancient town clock tower offering up seasonal hymns.
After obtaining the neccesary produce for the feast to follow, we returned home.
The turkey dinner was started and then we took Guinness to the local park for a good romp. This would be the extent of his exercise this Saturday--no walking all over former stomping grounds were in the plans for today.
From the park, we could see St Albans cathedral through the mist.
In the park there is a building housing the remains of a roman floor from the ancient days when this area was known as Verulamium.
Upon entering the house after our walk, we were assailed with the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen! We then settled in with mulled cider and snacks and enjoyed our early Christmas celebration. Merry Christmas, one and all!!
The turkey dinner tasted as good as it had smelled! We then did a web-cam with Sharon and Conrad. The eight hour time difference had precluded this happening earlier in the week. What a wonderful ending to a fabulous week! Just too bad that it had to end!
