In the morning we went for a tour of the Jewellery Quarter.
It is synonymous with the manufacture of jewellery and coins and medals in Birmingham and has been the birthplace of many pioneering advancements in industrial technology.
After lunch we spent the afternoon at the Frankfurt Christmas morning.
It is the largest authentic German market outside of Germany and Austria and is one of the most popular Christmas markets in the UK.
It has the feel of a small village within the heart of the bustling city centre, with picturesque wooden chalets offering traditional handcrafted gifts, including jewellery, wooden toys, dolls and candles.
