Halloween and Fireworks has led to an active week. Twiglet and I bought some chocolates in case trick or treaters turned up at our doorstep. As it is our first All Saint’s Eve in MK we genuinely had no idea what to expect – a stampeding horde of sugared up 4 year olds or a street so quiet we would be throwing chocolates at the tumble weeds? Settling in for the evening we decided to fit the mood with a Lovecraftian game of Elder Signs, not realising that all bar the kitchen lights were off. If you are going to face the greatest of the Ancient Ones and win, you want atmospheric. Clearly it looked like we were out; our bowl of chocolates sat by the front door unloved as I think maybe 4 gaggles of children and supervisors went past. But the upside is Cthulhu was defeated and we have chocolates for the rest of the week *win*. Then Saturday we went with the Bears to the Park to watch the fireworks! Music, explosions and loads of deep fried doughy products; much fun was had by all. When we got back, to make sure the whole family could enjoy the day, we had sparklers in the garden with Purr-More. We are really lucky she is completely not bothered by fireworks and likes to watch the pretty lights if she can. It was very astronomical spelling out Boo and Twiglet in stars - xxx
