Blip Advent Calendar - Day 24!

The window of number 24 opened early with a trip to Ilkley to pick Matthew up from work when he finished at 7am. 

It was then time for breakfast together at his before heading to his sister's to see her two children, Evie and Abi, and sneak in their presents for Father Christmas to deliver this evening. Magical time of year for them despite both suffering with snotty noses and colds! 

I headed back for a little scoot on two wheels under some blue skies at a lower level...Queensbury has been stuck in the fog, mist and drizzle! 

Following the ride, it was time for an annual tradition...the beautiful Saltaire Advent Window Trail with Mum and Dad. We ticked off all 52 windows as we navigated the intricate, narrow, dark streets using the trail map. It's an event I really do love and you can always guarantee with be fabulous! It didn't disappoint. :-) 

In keeping with the windows...today's quote...
"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
