On to Saturday now, and another busy day with several costume changes!
Today's Tea
Saturday's tea was the final vial from my Rosie Lea Tea gift set... Wolfsbane! It's green sencha with sea buckthorn and cornflower petals. Wow, I've had more sea buckthorn than I was expecting this Halloween!
Today's Story
Saturday's classic tale of horror was 'The Damned' by Algernon Blackwood.
‘The Modern Hallowe’en’
I read another chapter from Ronald Hutton's The Stations of the Sun on Saturday... 'The Modern Halloween'.
Litter-Pick in the Woods
It was the monthly Friends of Bailey's Wood litter-pick on Saturday morning, and in honour of the spooky season, fancy dress was encouraged. Am I fleeing the Castle of Otranto? or am I on a community litter-pick? It's hard to tell!
Hannah’s Bookshelf Halloween Special
Saturday was also the day of my Hannah's Bookshelf Halloween Special on North Manchester FM, featuring the shortlisted (and winning) entries for this year's 3 Minute Scares competition. And, as is tradition, I presented the show in fancy dress!
Dinner with my Mother-in-Law
And it was Halloween Dinner (potato pie), dessert (pumpkin pie), and a film (The Lost Boys pie) at my mother-in-law's on Saturday night.
