January Light: advent
On Christmas Eve we took a stroll to the nearby area of Scotstoun and its “Living Advent Calendar”. Each evening, one more window appeared thanks to backlight – the ingenuity and variety was amazing! Here’s window number 2 for day 2 of Becky’s January Squares Challenge: words ending in light. Follow the link to find out more!

Better than chocolate advent calendars, I’d say, speaking as a person who just had a Christmas with too much chocolate.

Much healthier (especially with a walk to get round all the windows)!

What a fun way for the community to join together. It must take some organising to have everyone ready on time.

Yes, it must. I’ve seen a few behind-the-scenes videos on Facebook and some of the preparations were very complex.

I think number 2 was one of the best, but they were all good. I’ll probably have forgotten by December though!

You could use one of these windows for at least 24 days of Becky’s challenge, Anabel 🙂 🙂 They do look lovely!

I could. However, I have had the brilliant wheeze of saving them for a Blog Advent Calendar in December!

I never seem to manage to write anything much in December, so that would be perfect. Very pleased with myself 😁.

Isn’t it? Apparently a lot of friendships have been made. On the Sunday before Christmas they had a carol singing tour, but we decided to wait till the 24th when all the windows were lit up.
