Start of Hallowe'en Weekend!

Once the children were grown up and no amount of coaxing could persuade them to forego dating for duck apple (as if!), I fell out of love with Hallowe'en for a time. However.......for some reason I have re-discovered it in the last couple of  years and love it again.  Tonight I'm having a coven with a load of wizened old witches (former friends and family after that!) and it should be loads of fun! 

I thought I should make a bit of an effort for them so I have been a self indulgent, domestic witch today and made ghost biscuits (although bits keep falling off - all the better to eat!) and instead of having normal flowers, I have swapped for dead leaves, decaying foliage and a few spiders - gross!  There is a goosegog crumble in the oven, steamed pud still to do and home made burgers and bits in fridge.  Add a few bottles of vino and with a wave of a wand and a twitch of the nose, it should be a spellbinding evening - groan!  There might be more photos tomorrow and Sunday, depending on whether or not I have a hangover - betcha can't wait! Wish I could really fly off on a broomstick............well, that wasn't a nice thing to say!  Do witches get hangovers???
