HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I wish you all a Happy Halloween.

Big night for the Nipper and her mates. They started with pumpkin carving in the week (I'll still be treading on those seeds at Christmas). But didn't they do well?

I'll be watching the Villa game tonight while dolling out sweets at the door. The last time I did this we were hammered by West Ham. A trick, not a treat.

But, and uncannily, Halloween for us has evolved

Adam Nevill and 3 other people liked Luke Allen's review of Monumental: "A relentless, nerve shredder of a novel. The horror is horrific, and the novel’s back half is an exercise in sustained tension that reminded me of Eden Lake (only with gribbly creatures in place of chavs). This is a terrific book. "
