It's time for another of Saltaire's Living Advent Calendar windows, I think. This, the second window, is quite a contrast to the one I showed you first. It's much more detailed, showing Noah's Ark with the animals going in two by two. Very attractive and rather magical, I think this would appeal to children especially. They'd be excited to discover all the different creatures - do you see the sea-horses? The window can be found on Constance Street. See my post of 2 December for an explanation of the Living Advent Calendar idea and a photo of the first window.
Magical is indeed the word to describe this Advent window . . . It is my intention to stroll the streets of Saltaire and view all the Living Advent Calender, (and coincidentally walk off the Christmas dinner) round about the magical dusk time on Christmas Day.
