Local colour

At one time when we had celebrations in Saltaire there used to be lots of street performers around: jugglers and fire eaters and suchlike.  There didn't really seem to be any this year, though Bradford Belles were there in their very colourful outfits, 'challenging the notion that women over 50 are boring!'

Sir Titus was also there, riding his alpaca:

Street food included burgers and chips, curry, Greek dishes and traditional German sausages (the wurst!) and, of course, 'Yorkshire Pudding Wraps', basically a roast dinner without the spuds and veg. 

In the midst of it all, our faithful friends the dogs (of all shapes and sizes) were excited, bemused or just watchful. I had the impression this beautiful Border Collie was itching to round people up!

  1. Yorkshire Pudding wrap! I couldn't pass that up. Nor the Greek food nor the curry. Good thing I'm an ocean away.

  2. Same here...though I dare say I'd jump in and wear a tutu and wig just to be a Bradford Belle. Oops, those are blue crinolines!
