At least all the windows are beautiful, I have to say - they're not always. (The rubbish theme springs to mind here.) But this year the theme is ballet and fairy tales. I have never ever fancied a shop window dummy before, but TW has something for everyone, and just between you and me, here is a very fine specimen...
But, oh look, that hussy from the first window seems to have got there first. This has to be one of the most enthusiastic public wake-up kisses I've seen. 'Get a room', I heard one passer-by say. I expect a 'Disgusted from TW' letter any day soon ...
And my writing prompt for today is - waking up in shop window.

I think it might do more for the ballet attendance levels than anything else..
Good Old Tunbridge Wells. Who'd have believed it.
Now, if we could just have a close-up of picture number two...
This is of course what Paddington does in the BBC animated series - buys some pyjamas, tries them on, but (unwittingly) does so in a shop window where he promptly falls asleep. Crowds gather, sales of pyjamas rocket, and Paddington gets his pair for free. Everybody's happy. Now THAT'S a proper children's programme.
Wot does "Disgruntled From Tunbridge" make of this?
I bet he gets right back on the train..
I know, Leigh! BUt if I get any closer than I have already I'm in danger of being arrested. I want it on public record I have never ever fancied a shop dummy before. And yep, funnily enough I went to the ballet last night.
Jan - I think they love it. I do. I'm making fun, but the windows are beautiful. And they had real life dancers when they were opened but sadly I missed that.
Alex, absolutely. My favourite Paddington is the auction scene.
