A Ghoulish time

Did someone mention spooky parties last week?

Well, against the odds I actual to one this weekend held by a friend.

 

 Everywhere was spooky, corners, outhouses, the lot with bats, spiders, ghosts and lanterns as I talked with people and enjoyed a home made burger with onions that was scrumptious.

 

This one looks like it escaped from Harriet's farm!

On the other hand one really has to ask Grub's owner just what it was doing stuck in the spider's web about to become dinner.

We had a treasure hunt, looking for Halloween Bags very well hidden around the grounds although the one indoors seemed to fox all of us.

 

Most of us made lanterns from Pumpkins, mine was bought for me as it would of been too much to had carried with me on the train.

They came out really well.

By that point we were in need of food which was a buffet from various bits and bobs brought be people attending.

There was a quiz with general knowledge section and  music section relating to significant anniversaries of our late Queen, Elizabeth II. I scored nineteen which was pretty good going not being too familiar with much British tv from before the 70's.

In any event it was a good laugh. 

 

Seeing it was close to Guy Fawkes Night, we had a bonfire blazing from wood and cardboard and many rockets, catherine wheels with pretty colours which went well although one seemed to an idea of direction very much of its own like a  straight line!

Those of us who stayed overnight, losing an hour to the clock change went out for a meal at midday on Sunday which was very tasty having had a Turkey roast and Sticky Toffee Pudding with cream.

After which I caught having spotted the 16:29 train home after a kind lift from Andi.

That was it, a lovely time with friends with ghoulsh groovy theme.
