Advent Windows #3


2025 Advent Windows #3

A couple more of Saltaire's Living Advent Calendar windows: The first is an ongoing saga now in its fifth year, a humorous take on the 'First Day of Christmas' song ('and a parsnip in a pear tree') by the 'Veg on the Edge' people, who maintain community gardens around the village. 

The second also makes use of the multi-paned windows in the smaller village houses, in homage to some of Saltaire's key features.

  1. They are all unique and lovely in their own way.

  2. Glad you told me it’s a parsnip - which sounds much better than carrot! Definitely starting a new aspect of the celebrations!

    1. Alpacas, the source of the wool that made Sir Titus Salt's fortune.

  5. Since I was little I always had an advent calendar. At that time there was just a little picture behind the closed door. Now they even have little toys behind the doors, or sweets. But I have never seen a calendar window !
