autumn time at gwaun y gors

OMG its nearly Halloween.

Visible to anyone in the world
This is one of my favourite times of the year, you can call me a kid, but I just can't help myself. I love the Halloween atmosphere. I relish in the fancy dress and the making up the children to be little monsters, not that they aren't already. I just go all excited at the thought of dressing myself up too and becoming all glamorously ghoulish and scary. This year the grand kids are a chainsaw massacre character, an executioner, a zip face with gore, and a Halloween rainbow dash pony. I'm not quite sure how the Halloween rainbow dash pony will work out, but we're an artistic bunch. My Daughter will go as a sister of mercy. Description? well its the usual nuns outfit with big stomping boots, a gun in a leg holster, possibly a machine gun strapped to her back and lots of make up. Moi... I will do the witch thing. This year its spidery tights, with stripey socks over them, a black ra ra type skirt with black top. The top will be decorated with uv spider webs. Black ankle boots with glitter spray and some eyeballs on them. Hair in pigtails sprayed orange and green. White face make up with green around eyes and big, and I mean big false eyelashes. An orange red bastardised jacket will finish the effect, along with some lovely lacey lace up gloves and orange fingernails. Oh and I forgot to mention the hat. Not your usual witches hat, this year I'm going for a blues brothers look, so its one of those type hats with need I say it, a spiders web and some creepy crawlies. So that's my pre Halloween Blog, I'll update you after the event to let you know how it went

I agree. I was just enjoying the view into our very modest garden where I have deliberately planted a purple beech hedge (not quite turning yet), Virginia creeper that has gone through many hues of orange and is now a million shades of red and some other bush with stems that have recently gone red so will give colour right through winter. Meanwhile the kids, now teenagers, are planning costumes while living in Lewes we are dusting off 'uniforms' for the crazy spectacle that is Lewes on November 5th.

thank you for your feedback Jonathon

I just had my birthday on November fifth, 53 going on eighteen lol The halloween went well. My friend and I went to a folk night and did a halloween song we had written especially for the occasion. It was enjoyed by all. Am I right in thinking that Lewes is in Sussex ? I don't have my geography head on. Halloween is taking off bigger than bonfire night for this generation of youngsters. I'll try and post some photos when I work out how.
