Some of you might be thinking about doing some Christmas shopping this weekend. For many people, this is their least favourite part of the festive season (apart from brussel sprouts). The shops will be heaving, queues will be long and parking will be a nightmare.

 But alas! I have a solution.

 Buy lovely, thoughtful gifts from local businesses at Christmas Markets!

 Saturday 01.12.12 Julefest, Psalter Lane, Sheffield 

 Sunday 02.12.12 Nether Edge Market, Sheffield

 Of course they are other Christmas Markets happening this weekend, but I don’t have a stall at any of those…..
