Todays outings required me and my boyfriend exploring Sheffield City Centre, ive never really been before but i have to admit it is quite a beautiful city, especially around this time of year. There were lights hung everywhere, the smell of donuts was in the air, a christmas market was in full swing, and oh yeah the famous Coca Cola truck was there too! It was so macigal seeing the big red truck lit up. I didnt manage to get a photo with it though as there was a huge swarm of people waiting in line but since it was raining i wasnt prepared to stand outside that long to wait my turn, mardy i know.
The atmosphere in the city today though was so uplifting, it really did make it feel like christmas. The shops were filled with jolly people carefully selecting presents for their loved ones but then dashing to the tills when the queues started to build up. The market was beautiful, the stalls were in little wooden sheds decorated with lights and wreaths. There was a mixture of stuff being sold from bags and purses, to chocolates and authentic baubles to kiddies hats and scarves to silly christmas jumpers. Even though some of it was a load of crap it was really great to look around. The only thing i found sheffield had a lot of was homeless people but even they had christmas spirit, they wasnt sat moping around like you would expect them to they were sat smiling and playing christmas songs on a musical instrument or singing, bless them it really does break your heart!
We struggled when it came to choosing where to eat as there is just that many fast food places, cafes and restaurants. In the end we chose pizza express, even though it was busy the service was fast and the food was delicous! Quite on the expensive side though. Anyway to finish our day off we had a look around all the high street shops, theres just that many stores to look in, i didnt realise how big the centre was! You could spend all day there but will be leaving penniless! All in all it was a fantastic day and i would definitely recommend it to a friend. Next year i will be looking to venture to more christmas markets thats a little bigger as i didnt realise how good fun they were!
I hope youre all keeping in the jolly spirit and are almost ready for the big day, im not...haha. BLOGMAS day 13 is over and 14 is about to start. Night all.
