Happy Halloween!

Keep on running…

According to old story, gingerbread men are speedy little chaps, out-running all but the crafty fox.

Unfortunately for this little batch of runners, they were cooked, cooled, decorated and promptly tinned!

The recipe roughly followed one on the Channel 4 website, with the omission of cinnamon and cloves (bizarre ingredients for a gingerbread man) – and golden caster sugar replacing the soft brown sugar I’d forgot to buy!

It’s Snow Time!

I don’t know what’s wrong with the youth of today around here – I haven’t seen a single snow-building project on the go. Even their snowball fights are half-hearted five minute affairs, presumably before rushing inside to their snowboarding video game?!

After a fresh blanket of snow had tidied up the construction site, a Robin came to inspect the strange being under his bird table… (it’s a snow bear ok!)

No tripod to hand for that night time snow shot? Use a handy ‘no swimming’ warning sign instead!

Ah! No! There’s bus coming, it’s going to ruin the photo…but…oh, ummmm, maybe not?

For the record, I don’t worship the occult, I hate scary films and I really don’t care for Halloween – I just like the annual ‘carving silly faces in pumpkins’ thing!
