Sparkle

A night out in town with my friend B. We had tickets for a poetry slam - a birthday gift from her - and went to the Christmas market for a Glühwein and snacks before the main event. I had never been to a poetry slam before, and it was a very mixed experience, with some good and partly very funny poetry, and some attempts which could best be described as brave. 

This is the children’s corner of the Christmas market, with a sparkly forest full of wild animals like this bear, a mini train (a moving one, not the one in the extra) and lots of sweets stalls. 

We really enjoyed the stroll over the market. Of course, the attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg hadn’t happened yet. Learning about it took the sparkle out of this evening for us.
