Julmarknad / Christmas market

Idag var jag på julmarknad i Hässleholm. Det var en riktig gammaldags marknad med rökta korvar, syltburkar, saft, glögg, ost och massor med andra delikatesser. Men sedan fanns det naturligtvis massor med hantverk, som var tillverkade av de hantverkare, som stod och sålde sakerna. Jättefina tomtar, halmarbeten, som bockar och halmkransar, ljusstakar, handstöpta ljus, fina vävnader och massor med andra egentillverkade saker.

Jag köpte ingenting, däremot vann jag en grenljusstake, där också själva ljusstaken består av stearin. Det var kul att vinna, länge sedan sist, men det uppstod ett transportproblem, med en käpp, en stor låda där ljusstaken var transport med Skånetrafiken, men tack vare hjälp av resesällskapet kom ljusstaken och jag hem helskinnade.

I have been to a Christmas Market in the country side today. The weather was not good, it rained now and then, but inside the buildings there were Christmas feelings. All the things were handcrafted, like santas, candlesticks, some of them handcarved and painted and hand made candles.There were of course many things to fill in your stomach too. All kinds of sausages, cheese, jams and jellies.

I was lucky to win a big handmade candle . I was of course very lucky to win such a beatiful thing, but it was big in a big box and as I traveled by train and bus it generated a logistic problem. How to take it home unbroken as I still have help of crutch when I´m walking outside. I managed with help from my friend and I will surely enjoy the candle light in Christmas.

It´s so beatiful!
