Today was a very big day, with three separate (and very different) events on the cards. We also did some festive stuff at home afterwards, as we moved into the final week of celebrating.
Crumpsall Park Halloween Story Walk
I led another Halloween Story Walk this morning, this time for Friends of Crumpsall Park. This was such a fun event to do - loved working with the kids to come up with a spooky story about the park. The Crumpsall kids did come to a different conclusion than the Blackley kids on Monday though... they decided I must be the werewolf! One of the kids drew a picture of me as a witch, being transformed into a werewolf by a tornado and it's my absolute favourite thing.
Castlerea Halloween Film Afternoon
We had our annual Halloween Film Afternoon at Castlerea Care Home this afternoon. This year we watched Frankenstein Created Woman, with spooky movie snacks of course. I also did my traditional dramatic reading of 'The Raven' for the housemates (with audience participation)!
Green Quarter Weird History Walk
I led a Halloween weird history walk for GRUB MCR tonight, taking walkers from Angel Meadow to Red Bank and telling tales of bodysnatching, swimming baths, ragged schools and railways along the way.
Samhain Candle
We lit our Samhain candle from Chalice Creations tonight. Rose, sandalwood and orange to scent the season.
Pumpkin Lantern
Rob carved our pumpkin lantern tonight! And what a fine lantern he is too!
Little Gem Squash
Another lovely recipe for our Groobarbs Autumn Squash Box... South African Style Baked Little Gem Squash!
31 Halloween Films: Saw
Tonight's film from our Halloween list was the one we were sort of thinking would come up last Saturday! But it was so good to watch Saw again after seeing Saw X!
