German Christmas Market Leeds.

I thought that I would use my pensioner pass today, it doesn't get out much.

I went from the train station five minuts from my house, the catch the train to Leeds, met a neighbour to chat to while we waited. Then came the announcement that the train was delayed by 25 minutes. Shame about that, I was meeting my cousin in Leeds she wouldbe kept hanging around.

Once on the train it only takes 25 minutes into Leeds Centre, I walked to the meeting place, there she was waiting for me. We went across the road for a coffee, I was really ready for that!

From there we walked over to Millenium Square, Cousin had not seen a German Market before and was entranced by all the pretty things the stall holders had to offer. We bumped into some friends of mine, who said that "they knew I was in Leeds as they had seen me board the train"
Cousin got on really well with them, they had a "new puppy" type conversation. It was strange meeting them, because two weeks earlier they had been on a twinning trip to Germany with me.

We went then into the Bier Keller to have Spicey sausage sandwich, they were gorgeous. After another walk round, it was time to head for the Station. Cousin came with me as she could get a bus home from outside the Station, and I could get my train. Unfortunately, my train had gone, so I had an hour to wait for the next one.

As Cousin bought my coffee and sandwich, all I spent was 70p on train fare and 40p for a paper to pass the time. I had a very good time. Bus pass enjoyed the experience too. It wants to go again next week.
