Olympic Window Competition....

The winning window in the Tonbridge Olympic window competition was.... wait for it.... this by Country Gardens. In the words of the owner: I have been doing it for long enough so I ought to know what I'm doing! And she certainly seems to. There were lots of other great efforts. Apart from Mr. Books' 1948 style effort of course there was The Gift Box and lots of others. Not a winner but I particularly liked Bonners who had actually madea bit of carpet with the Olympic rings set in it. A bit of fun for traders and shoppers. We should do another one soon. Ideas? Best Halloween window. Bonfire Night. Christmas. Autumn and seasons. Any other thoughts anyone??..

Guy Fawkes Night and Christmas, yes; Halloween definitely no! The latter is an unwanted and definitely unwelcome import from the USA, that unfortunately seems to increase in prominence every year. Let's not do anything that will lead to this alien pseudo-festival gaining even further acceptance on these shores!
