Another year - another dolly

Each year, on this day, we go to the first of the Christmas Markets and each year I get Bella a new doll. So this year was no exception. We had a lovely time meeting old friends, mooching around and buying odds and ends for Christmas.

I met a dear old chum, who has just celebrated his sixtieth birthday and has had his first book published and it turns out he's a bit of a star in German train circles.

He introduced himself to Bella thus.

'Hi Bella I'm a friend of your grandpa and the password of life is 'Led Zepplin'. Always remember it's 'Led Zepplin' and you won't go far wrong'

Bella was impressed enough to tell her mum.

Another lovely start to the Christmas season
