Bolnore advent window
Today is also the beginning of our first ever Living Advent Calendar Trail. For every day of December a decorated window will be revealed by illumination on the run up to Christmas. The route is a meandering rail through Bolnore and the Beeches; the idea is that everyone can join in by walking the trail, and by decorating your window with the same number to the one nearest to your house marked on the map. My children are especially looking forward to walking the trail and seeing how it develops and grows.
Decorations can be as simple or complicated as you wish and I will publish them daily on This is Bolnore Facebook page, where more information can also be found. We have adored seeing the creativity so far but more than that, we’ve loved seeing how neighbours have come together to discuss (from a distance) their window plans. Well done Bolnorians, once again you rock and bring on the fairy lights!
