    Yea I went on it last week with herself.
    Good laugh @ 3 euro each and it goes around 4 time. They give everyone a chance to get photos and that from the top over looking the city.

    Maybe it can be made permanent like the London Eye.

    It was open yesterday when I walked by there. Looks fairly impressive.
    Anyone else disappointed with the market that's around there? Last Christmas there seemed to be much more going on but this time around it seems to just be 7-8 food stalls.

    There's a craft market in Emmet Place.

    They decided to only go with food stalls this year as it was a bit chaotic with all the other stalls last year. Personally I prefer it this year. The Elm Tree Farm stand are doing Angus steak sandwiches ... lovely!

    I was up on the wheel today! its actually very good, i thought it was more a kiddies thing when you look from a distance but there is a great view from the top!
    and even better you can spin the carriages around with the wheel in the middle of the cage:D
