I received a comment on my previous post about the Rotherhithe Festival that there was going to be a Christmas Fair around the Rotherhithe area between 23rd to 25th November, and it was Miss Pinky’s birthday weekend, so we needed to have a meet up and have a look around.
Unfortunately it was raining on the Saturday. 😦 But we still had a look around… I didn’t realise it was a Scandinavian Christmas Fair (Norwegians, Swedish and Finnish)! I didn’t even realise Rotherhithe was an area of Scandinavian people… Interesting!

I also did not buy anything, but I had enjoyed looking at the Christmas atmosphere! We went into the Finnish centre which was a £1 entry and where there were loads of groceries, cards, Christmas decorations, carol singers and a cafe above!

I wish English people could do the same thing. I remember when I was in primary school, my local school church held a Bazaar event, which is similar to a Christmas fair. I wonder if they still do it!
