The witches are coming

I like halloween, I think it could be my favourite of the annual events, less dangerous than bonfire night but with all the colour of Christmas and you are allowed to dress up in daft costumes if you want which is a plus in my book - though our scooby gang costume of recent times was not great - I look more like Tony Hart than Fred.

We didn't get any guisers last year though me and my neighbours did share a large bucket of sweets which we kept on the stairs for a week. When I was a kid, I used to hate having to do the wee song or joke at each persons house, but now that I'm a grown up I'm annoyed that kids today don't even bother pretending to entertain you, they just ring the door bell and hold open their bags.

Anyway it seems there are a lot of events going on in the city for those that enjoy the spooky fun.

Firstly there is the kids fancy dress party at the Glasshouse in Queens Park - but I know the tickets sell out very fast so if you want one, you'll need to contact them soon. There is halloween fun all that week 22 -28 Oct from 10am - 4pm and then the big parties are 6pm -10pm on the 26 + 27 Oct. Tickets are just £5 for a family of four.
