I don't think we should have it in that sitting-room with the convector heater in the fireplace. Someone, or someone's broomstick, would be bound to cause grief among all those photographs and nick-nacks.
The Poison garden at Alnwick Castle? They are used to broomsticks there. I think they even do lessons on how to ride a broomstick for people who fall off a lot.
I'd second the Poison Garden. Fascinating place and once the broomstick had been mastered, a quick whizz round to the Tree House for eyeball soup and sticky slimey pudding ......
I like the sound of Poison garden my sat nav is a bit dicky and I cant get lost from here to Alnwick, I can do the journey with my eyes closed... could be handy on the way home
See you all there then. Whose making the vodka jellies? I picked up some interesting substances in the Istanbul spice bazaar. They sell something called 'Turkish viagra* guaranteed 6 times a night? There are some interesting mushrooms growing on my lawn! I'll pick them and dry them in my new dehumidifier! Is that Donald going to be there?
Will try with the ipad if I remember to set up on their WiFi. Could put a sleepwell spell on DGS. Now where is my broomstick? Who's bringing the Brownies? . What are the co-ordinates for Alnwick Castle?
"ON Hallowmas Eve, ere ye boune ye to rest, Ever beware that your couch be bless'd; Sign it with cross, and sain it with bead, Sing the Ave, and say the Creed.
For on Hallowmas Eve the Night-Hag will ride, And all her nine-fold sweeping on by her side, Whether the wind sing lowly or loud, Sailing through moonshine, or swathed in the cloud."
Mmmmmm I haven't been to a Gransnet party in ages. I might dig the tardis out of the shed and zip over on the night. I won't be wearing my witches outfit, I save that for every day wear. I might go a bit glam and wear a slinky black outfit.
