Christmas Windows

It's the first day of Advent, so let's get suitably in the mood of preparations for Christmas by looking at the shop windows round town - or at least, thinking about them, since I can't really do pictures.
Addyman's Annexe have built a church out of paper, surrounded by Victorian style pop-ups, and in Addyman's main shop, look out for R2D2, who's hiding from a Dalek!
The one that made me laugh out loud, though, was The Granary's vegetable nativity scene! Potato people, cauliflower sheep - and a sign that says no vegetables were harmed in this production! Wonderful!

The Granary's window is definitely one of the best and brought a chuckle to me too. The cauliflower sheep are especially delightful.

Thye were up late in Booths Books last night too, putting the finishing touches to their window – a rather grand, corseted, dressmakers mannequin wearing a beautiful floor-length evening gown made of pages out what looks like a Victorian medical book - complete with illustrations!
