Wombat in a Winter Wonderland

After the disappointing amount of snow he saw in Austria, The Wombat was pretty astonished when an awful lot of the white stuff fell on Northern Ireland - just in time for Christmas!

Here he is, sitting on an upturned flower pot in the garden, hoping that the cat isn't about to push him off into the cold snow. (She did.)

A Christmas market in Belfast

A bit closer to home, the Wombat also visited the Christmas market in Belfast. He had a look at the big shiny Christmas tree...


And he tried out some strawberry-flavoured beer in the German beer tent.

Christmas markets in Austria

The Wombat tagged along with some friends to visit the Christmas markets in Austria.

He tried making a new friend of this Alpine mountain goat, but its behaviour was a bit too stiff for The Wombat...


Santa Claus doesn't seem to be sure what to make of The Wombat - hopefully The Wombat isn't on the naughty list? (Click the pic to get a better look at Santa's expression!)


The Wombat was a bit disappointed at the lack of snow, although the scenery was very pretty.


He was a lot more impressed by all the chocolates he saw on the way home through Belgium!
