Nothing gets me more in the festive mood than A Christmas Carol. For all the Scrooges out there, they must visit Chester at Christmas . Gone is the bah humbug mentality when you enter the magnificent Chester Cathedral . The cloisters are lined with trees with twinkling lights, all decorated by different businesses and members of the community. This year, the cathedral is displaying a series of tableaux depicting A Christmas Carol . The models are seriously impressive, particularly the gigantic Ghost of Christmas Present. The festivities continue in the gorgeous café, located in a 13th century monks' dining hall. I feasted on the Liverpool cake which was inspired by the exotic ingredients newly available in the 19th centuiry from Liverpool's trade links, such as demarara sugar from Guyana, spices from the Middle East and sultanas from Turkey. This cake tasted a lot like carrot cake as it was moist and had lots of lovely spices. Perfect for Christmas! Whi
