Wendy Witch – Halloween Party

The whole room has a spooky glow, but then that could have something to do with the Zombie pie. It can be slightly pungent, especially if you eat three of them like Rory. It is a grisly aroma the second time round. All our friends stand around the piano, as I play her favourite tune.Continue reading “Wendy Witch – Halloween Party”

In past years the humble table has been the heart of the family home. Television programmes set the most important decisions around it. My memories are pretty much the same.

Upstairs in my office, I think of what I can doContinue reading “Halloween – Wendy Witch and the Halloween Party”
