Saltaire Secret Poet

 
There was a young girl from Saltaire

Saltaire Secret Poet
 
These quaint poems are beginning to appear around our village of Saltaire.  One never knows where the next one will be; quite exciting I think. We all love a bit of mystery !!
 The image above was one of three that I came across on the weekend during the Saltaire Festival.  They were attached to the fence of Salts Mill Complex, and I believe there were some more around the churchyard.

Saltaire Heritage Weekend

Saltaire Heritage Weekend
          April 2013                                                                                              April 2013
 
 
The Saltaire Heritage Weekend has come and gone for 2013 and I must say that it did not have the same feel about it this time round. Last year the trees and flowers had begun to bloom and lots of visitors enjoyed the canal and Roberts Park activities.
 
This year, the number of visitors seemed to be lacking and the atmosphere around the canal and the park was rather flat. The trees are still bare and the skies still mostly grey, although we have had a little sunshine over the past few days.
 
Come on summer, it is time to shine in the beautiful Saltaire.

Watermelon Flower


 
 Carved watermelons dislplayed at the Aagrah Masterclass cooking display at the Saltaire Festival on Sunday.  As well as doing the cooking demonstration, the chef also demonstrated the very clever art of fruit carving.
The Aagrah Restaurant Group were one of the sponsors of the Festival this year.
