HALLOWEEN 2017

Click on any image for a larger version

It's that time of year again, when we think of our distant ancestors and renew our acquaintance with the infinite variety of spooks on the other side.

As usual, my local supermarket, Nolan's of Clontarf, already has a magnificent motley collection lining up for the night. I just couldn't resist sharing them here. They were not all willing to sign release forms but I got a block exemption from the manager on their behalf.

Enjoy.

Given the times that are in it we just cannot ignore BREXIT. I'm not sure whether this is a collection for Mrs. May's pension or a rerun of the Referendum. However, when you're down there you can make up your own mind.

Woooooo!

Inside the hall looking out, daytime.

I was up in Lidl the other day and saw oodles of Halloween stuff, so for once I thought I'd get something. I settled on a plastic picture with the intention of putting it in the porch for when the local kids called to the door.

I stuck it up earlier today and it looked great. Just fitted the glass panel on the door and let the light through, something which hadn't occurred to me when I bought it.

Outside view, daytime

Needless to say, the outside view in daytime was colourful but not spectacular.

Outside view, night-time

By nightfall, after 5.30pm, the thing really came into its own, and what you see above was the spooky welcome for the spooky kids.

Quite a few came to the door and they were all very well made up. There were vampires, dead brides, Darth Vader, zombies, Batman, witches and sundry corpses, to mention but a few.

Good night had by all.
