Fantomes Suspendus!

There was humungous excitement Chez Castle yesterday, when we all got in from work and saw that Postman Bob had been and had left a large envelope addressed to The Boyz on the doormat ……

…… which we immediately recognised as coming from Jan The Fan, our biggest and most loyalist fan in Newcastle, we also strongly suspected that the envelope may contain something of a seasonal type nature.

There was a card, which we opened first,

……… and Darrell read out aloud in his best Geordie/Jimmy Nail type  accent ……..

…… and there was a present …..

Oh mon dieu et mon droite est mon gauche ……. it was a pack of three ghost decorations for the garden (me, Darrell and Nigel in spectral form?) ……… let’s just say, it got a little emotional……..

………. Fantomes Suspendus …………. which sounds sooooooooooooooooo romantic!!!!

Well,  it goes without saying that those Fantomes Suspendus were going to be inflated and “suspendos” there and then, with Nigel doing the honours of blowing …..

…… me doing the tying ….. and Darrell planning the best, de rigueur location to suspendus notre fantomes………..

…….. which after much deliberation, he decided should be from the old arched tree right at the bottom of the garden.

Let’s just say (again)  ……

…… that the suspendus-ing  of said fantomes was emotional ………

………. and not without some risk to Darrell and myself ….

If Derek Acorah himself had wandered into our garden at that time he wouldn’t have known who to speak to first …..but ……. these suspendus fantomes looked more intent on having fun, than telling us, while channelling naturally through Derek that Andy liked what we had done with the cushions in the lounge……!!!!!!!!

What can we say, Jan The Fan?  

 

You’ve topped our Halloween for us already and it’s hardly even started!!

Rest assured that these suspendus fantomes are going to be haunting us for much longer than just Halloween ……

………. we love them …….
THANK YOU SO MUCH JAN THE FAN ……… for bringing so much laughter and fun dans le bottom le jardin!!! XXXXX
