Oh My Goodness – We Get A Truly Wonderful Halloween Surprise

Well …….

……. we all thought that we were well and truly ready for our Halloween Sleepover (and half term holiday) ………

…… but, while Darrell was just out adjusting our festive doormat and putting a few treats outside our door for our neighbours to share in the excitement with us, even you know who ….. in the spirit of the season.

……. when Rob, our lovely Postman, spotted him and said that he’d got a parcel for us in his van, and it was a big ‘un!  Well, as we weren't expecting anything, we got, unsurprisingly, a little excited.

Then, it got emotional, very, very …….. VERY emotional ……

….. as, inside said humungous box, was the most beautiful wreath for our festive portal,  from our very wonderful friend Paula in romantic Plymouth ……

……. and, we’re not to ashamed to say that a few, unfettered, manly tears were shed …..

…… and then, once we’d composed ourselves,  what we already had on our door was swiftly replaced and our new wreath put in it’s rightful pride of place.

And, there was more …….. there were do it yourself Halloween squishes for Uncle Nigel to paint with our beloved nephew and niece during the half term holidays when calm was needed to be restored.

What can we say Paula, but the most humungous thank you.  You do it to us every year ……. you really our Halloween Queen.

XXXXXXX THANK YOU XXXXXXX
