A Different Sort Of Halloween This Year?

Sooooooo, I don't know how its happened, but we're already five days into October, the celebrated month of ghosts, ghoulies and all things of a spooky type nature and I have to admit, a perfect excuse for us all to don some seasonal, gay apparel!  


It's also the season of robust and almost constant pester power when it comes to visiting some of our local shops up town, especially with Derek now on board, it's comes in duplicate!


However, I've told them that they might need to repress their effervescent, exuberance just a tad because, this year, our usual Halloween Sleepover is not to be, as our beloved niece and nephew will be celebrating the holiday dans foreign climes, to wit, en Francais!


Naturally, they were a little downcast at first, but with what's now beginning to appear in the aisles of various emporiums ......... 


.......I fear think they are still planning a few bits and bobs of their own ..........


........ heaven (or hell) help us all!!!!!


On this outing, however, the only considered purchase made was of a rather lovely and fragrant Spooky Vanilla candle for Darrell. Not wishing to cast any nasturtiums, I've still gently warned him to be on his guard, as goodness only knows what they plan to roped him in to!

A real shame, but I'm sure they'll have a great time in France.

Oh times move on - no Halloween sleep-over this year. But those times will never be forgotten and that's what it's all about....Next year will be here before we know it ! JantheFan X
