Trick or Treat?

Photograph by Ralph Eugene Meatyard

It’s been an eventful week. What with the blogaversary on Tuesday, Halloween today, and Wednesday and Thursday spent in legal dispute. I wish I could say more about that, but I can’t...

What I will say is that my solicitor is quite an inspiring character. The case was challenging and the time frame tight. There was a wonderful moment when this ordinarily composed, curly haired man with highly polished shoes, slammed down the phone at the end of a call to someone on our side, put his head in his hands, and said, “Sweet Jesus! We need a plan.” Then he bit his nails as his eyes flashed left and right.

I love the way people act when under pressure or thinking out loud.

My side emerged in victory. Thank heavens! And I feel very pleased but peculiarly drained. Most appropriate for Halloween. Though this evening, I really can’t write for toffee.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween is quite the occasion, here at Thistletonthwaite Castle. The adults turn into blood-sucking vampires. The butler’s children revert to their alien forms.



Come midnight, headless knights patrol the halls, slaying every living thing they find. While restless spirits float through the grounds, completely ruining the hedges.

I take the butler’s children to a local hotel. Where they are safe. Well... at least from the headless knights!
