Broken Umbrellas of Belfast: Part 4

***

Heard the singers playin', How we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, tryin' to keep warm. 
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

So, folks, it's been a while eh? 
It's been.... 5 months or so since my last entry? How disgraceful!  

Well, for anyone interested, I have been busy these past few months. This summer saw me traveling to Belgium, Sweden, and then Canada for a visit home, and even a wee trip down to New York City! I have neglected to update curious minds on my escapades, and I apologize profusely. 

But, what better way to get back in the game then update my blog with a classic! 
I have spoken to many friends who have said they quite enjoyed viewing strangely abandoned broken umbrellas in Belfast. I'm quite shocked actually.

Don't you all think that it's a rather strange obsession? I walk around town on rainy days and take random photos of broken umbrellas while people walk by thinking "Why is she taking a picture of that litter can, and that dirty awful bin liner lying on the street corner??". 
Well, if you guys like it, then fine, I will gladly continue do take pictures, it's the least I can do! 

Well, I walked around Belfast the other week, on a VERY rainy day.
Usually it rains a bit here and there, but this day was a wet one. Non-stop rain all day. 
AND low and behold... what did I find?!?!? 

CHECK IT OUT!

It's Christmas time in the City...

***
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, 
dressed in holiday style, 
in the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Well folks, it's Christmas time! You know what that means?


Open between November 19 and December 19th, this market really brings the Christmas spirit to Belfast! Held on the grounds of Belfast City Hall, this market bring together goodies and treats from all corners of the world! Many countries are represented from Germany to Italy, Morocco to China! 

I visited the market on one particular evening, and decided to take you guys on a small tour. 

So please enjoy this wee video, 

Christmas is almost here! 







Keep Smilin! 

It's almost Christmas!
