The yarnbombers of Thirsk have been busy again, and have created a halloween display in a small square to the south-west of the Market Place. I presume the Market Place itself is being kept clear for a Remembrance yarnbombing display. Thirsk was the first place where I saw a large scale yarnbombing event, and that was for Remembrance, and it is something they have done each year since then.
A trip from York to Thirsk by bus is quite enjoyable, since it meanders through quite a lot of attractive villages, and each time we do the journey I see more photo opportunities. I really need to stop off at some of these villages sometime! This trip was eleven days ago, and involved taking photos of the yarnbombing, and a lovely walk beside Cod Beck, followed by a cup of tea and a cake before the bus back to York.
Whatever my views are of halloween (and I'm not a fan of the modern massive celebrations), I have to admire the creativity of the yarnbombers who create such impressive displays. I love the rather fierce expression on this pumpkin.
It's a fantastic piece of creativity. I'm not a huge fan of Hallowen but our children have grown up with it so we do enter into the fun of it, especially when we know the children who come knocking. I just feel terribly sad for all those Koreans who lost their lives or loved ones at this time of celebration
Great result by the yarn bombers. I am not a fan of Halloween either and luckily it isn't a big thing here. We do get kids knocking on the door occasionally Trick or Treating, but Covid seemed to have put a stop to that.
Looks great and vibrant. Halloween is not a part of our culture either but children like it. My son-in-law bought a pumpkin for Max to carve and he did a good job.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Thirsk yarnbombers have just put up their latest display yesterday, in the Market Place, ready for Remembrance Day. Photos were posted on their facebook page this morning. Looks like I need to plan another trip to Thirsk!
It's a terrible disaster in Korea, but what surprises me is that the bridge colapse in India where there were almost as many deaths has received hardly any media exposure.
