St Martin's Day

On St. Martin's day in Germany children walk with lanterns and hear the story of how St Martin gave half his coat to a poor man. In out neighborhood the walk started at Mia's school and there was no one playing the St Martin on a horse but some children played the story at the end of the walk

Mia had build he Gruffalo lantern in class

The walk ended with hot drinks at the school yard - the one for the adults had red wine in it. Very nice on a cold evening

Children also got a sweet bread with the shape of man
