Nothing Seasonally Goes Past Nigel….

Well, I was hoping we’d have a couple more weeks without too much seasonal pester power, but it seems, just like Christmas, shops are stocking their Halloween shelves earlier and earlier each year ……..

……… which naturally, knowing the nature of the beast, doesn’t go past Nigel, and yes, said pestering has begun in earnest…….

……. not for himself you understand …….. he’s only spending so much time cogitating and ruminating over each and every spooky item for Iris and Bertie and our traditional Halloween Sleepover, he’ll have you believe!

Complete and utter tosh……. he’s like a dog with two bones, two tails and a ball, he’s soooooooooo excited.

I’ve told him that he will have to consult Darrell on anything of a decor type nature enters The Towers as Darrell is very precious about his festive shelves and he will, most probably, already have a few ideas/themes in mind.

However, to keep the peace and not wishing to tread on any of  Darrell’s toes, I‘ve given Nigel a budget and put him in charge of prizes for games and the obligatory Halloween crackers, a few surprises for the aforementioned I and B and treats for the Trick or Treat Cauldron, and yes, a special Halloween hand wash in the bathroom is a most excellent idea Nigel!

He went away a pretty happy (spooky) bunny with the deal ………..

Good luck trying to keep Nigel calm, in the run up to Halloween.

And soon as it is over, Christmas planning will begin in earnest. (Earnest, not Ernest, as in Hemingway.)
