Now I'm even more annoyed that I had to turn down a stall at BUST when I find out that Belgian Waffle is going to be there selling her EAT MY WORDS biccies.

Thanks so much for my mention at the Christmas Markets over in Stoke Newington. It's a great show and I highly recommend the Pop up Christmas just over the road too! It's got a great Santa's Grotto!
I'm only sad I can't get to all the other great places you've listed.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
