Camels for Christmas in Carlisle


We had camels in Carlisle last week.  They’re not something one usually expects to see in a Northern English town but they were part of an atmospheric Christmas torch light procession from the castle to the town square which ended with a carol service.  The lanterns were suspended on poles and were made from withies and tissue paper with tea lights inside.  The overall effect was very attractive and has made me think about having a go at making one.  Some farms around here are now growing willow so perhaps we’ll see more traditional crafts in future……… along with the ungulates
