Christmas yarn bombing


The yarn bombers of Ross on Wye have had a very full year. In addition to their regular Easter, autumn, Halloween, Remembrance and Christmas offerings they also had the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and the Queen's passing as themes. The photograph above is one of the Chrismas-themed pieces decorating the town and putting a smile on the face of all who see them. It shows Father Christmas with presents at his feet, flanked by a snowman and Rudolph with his red nose. Behind them (and giving support!) is a Chrismas tree decorated with tinsel and surmounted by the star of the Christmas story. The pillar box on which the tableau is mounted is an aged, slightly leaning, but still functioning example next to the Market House.
