Backblips of Berlin trip available, if you're interested.
It snowed hard all day, and R's cold got the better of her, so Laura and her boyfriend offered to babysit, while the other 3 of us went to one of the Christmas markets. It was gorgeous. It's set between two baroque churches, with a huge Christmas tree, and live carol singing. And it was snowing, to complete the picture. And the baubles had real icicles on!
