Have you had your first mince pie and mulled wine yet? Mine was in Wheathamstead at the outdoor pop-up craft market; it was lovely to see people socialising and shopping safely, happy to have a chance to get together, and my home-made mince pie was lovely with thin, crisp pastry and a little star on top. Simple pleasures, that I think we have learned to appreciate all the more this year.
So what other treats are out there for us? Wrap up warm and head to St Albans city centre for outdoor markets every day in the run up to Christmas. You will find the usual Charter Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays, as well as extra street food, seasonal cakes and bakes and gifts as well as mulled wine and coffee to keep you going on other days.
