Happy Halloween!


Witches flying past on broomsticks

Black cats leaping here and there

White-robed spooks on every corner

Mournful moaning in the air

Goblins peering out of windows

Spirit-things that rap and run

But don't be scared - it's just October

Having one last hour of fun

    Gosh I dream about standing in front of a Dean & Deluca one day - every since Felicity used to work at one, I have thought it must be the most beautifully styled shop.
    And, of course I would get one of these gorgeous cookies ... who could resist xx

    Aren't they just gorgeous! Ooh I could eat one right now! I have palmed my boys off to Gran for 2 nights as I am working this weekend. I feel a bit guilty that they have no idea what halloween is and what they are missing out on. Mean mother... weren't allowed a computer game until oldest was 9 years of age! A-M xx
