Windows, wonderful windows!

Oh, I love the creative, community-minded, cockle-warming spirit of our neighbourhood. We've been for two little Christmas Eve strolls, one in daylight, one in darkness, to see all 24 Advent windows in their full glory (with some duplicate numbers as more than 24 houses wanted to join in).

What makes it is the variety of ideas and the mixture of class, fun, perfectionism, imperfectionism and leave-it-to-the-kids-ism! Here, in no particular order, is a little gallery of the ones I managed to capture a good photo of (with disappointment at the fab ones I couldn't) ...







You really can control their fairy lights .....


Yep, that's Jeremy Corbyn .....


















Now we're off to the Gregson community centrey pubby place where we've been told singing may break out.

So a very Happy Christmas to you all. And well ..... what they said ..... Jingle your bleedin' bells! xxx

Update
Best Christmas Eve ever! Singing did indeed break out - raucously! - and my throat is hoarse. Who knew that up norf they sing The Holly and the Ivy to the tune of Ilkla Moor Baht'at?! Not easy!
