We were much earlier this year to the Haga Christmas market than previous years, where it seems too, that I favour strolling the old streets of Haga in the same furry hat!

I believe most Christmas markets begin in western Sweden thereabouts on the 28th of November, and I generally appreciated just a smidgen more daylight time than if we were to go Christmas marketing just three weeks on in December.

Walking down the street, it became apparent that this year at Haga was mostly about café treats! Even before the extensive renovations to this area during the 1970s, Haga was known for its restaurants. Today, the entire street is punctuated with good coffee places, where I personally bear one or two cafés in mind when headed this way.

    There goes my diet, I’m off to find me something just as delicious as this market. Not sure where I can in Flordia but I can at least try.

    My diet’s always busted in December / January over New Year’s, I have a looooong list of must-eats during this festive season and could live off for example, pineapple tarts and rum fruit cake! *sigh*
