Petworth Live Windows 2

I've had to take the video down for the moment.  I have just found out that you are not supposed to take photographs of children without their parents' permission.  I will re-edit and put it back up when I have removed the urchin shots.   Sorry about that everyone.

I don't know how long it is going to be there. On the one hand, there can't be that many people who want something like this. On the other hand I imagine if you did want one you would need to grab it quickly while it was going.

Petworth Live Windows 2009 - The Video!

The gorgeous girls from Tiffins, Petworth's top tea shop took pity on me for my poor collection of photos from last year's live windows.

They have very kindly let me have theirs.

I haven't had a chance to go through all of them yet, but I think there are some good ones. In the meantime, here is a video of a couple of them.

Note - I have taken the video down for the moment.  I have just learned that it is against the law to take pictures of children without their parents' permission.   I don't think there are any in this video but I want to have another look just to be sure.   Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Any details on this year's live windows in Petworth will be posted at http://visitpetworth.blogspot.com/2010/09/live-windows-christmas-2010.html

The weather was so dreadful last year I couldn't get much in the way of decent photos, but I will stick up a few of the least bad ones. This was Twenty's model who needless to say was wearing a great dress which, equally needless to say, I failed to get in the picture.

I'll be putting any more news about the 2010 Petworth Live Windows competition on http://visitpetworth.blogspot.com/2010/09/live-windows-christmas-2010.html

The chip shop in Petworth is in a bit of an awkward spot to get a decent photo of. I have had a few attempts, and this is the best I can come up with. I think it will have to do. None of this affects the chips, which are nice and tasty.

They have a little restaurant area where you can have a sit down meal.

So a nice little chip shop.

I am hearing rumours that the town traders will be repeating the live windows thing that they did last year. I haven't got any more details at the moment, but I gather there will be a Facebook page and a Twitter feed - though I imagine the details of the windows themselves will be a closely guarded secret until the day itself.

When I hear more, I will tell more.

When Rugs of Petworth opened it was hard to think of a more opt name. But since then they have branched out into a few other lines including cushions. I really liked this intriguing design that was in the window over the summer.
