There is something strange in the neighbourhood
As we entered deep into Stands Wood
We kept to the path we followed the Signs
Not wanting to end up in some Witches Brine
A greenish mist cast its eerie spell
And sure enough this is where Witches dwell
What looked like a Victim had surely lost his way
He’d seen better days is what I would say
We hid in the bushes as the Wagon flew by
It held screaming children with excited cries
As ghouls and Ghosts jumped out at each bend
Thank goodness we were invisible my friends..
As you can see we had a wonderful Walk today around Stands Woods of Chatsworth House In Derbyshire where they put on a spectacular show for the children. I know of Two Adult ones who enjoyed them selves walking 3 hours in the Woods today meeting real witches and real ghosts and a werewolf.
My hats off to all of the staff who stood in the wood all morning You were brill.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Thank you Lorrie.. Thankfully we spotted the first real Ghost on the trail she was hoping from foot to foot a little cold .. We got chatting a while before the children’s wagon came along pulled by a tractor.. She forewarned us of the Witch and the Werewolf, so we put on our invisible cloaks and we were saved 🙂 .. I will be hopping my way around to see you too in a short while too Lorrie.. Love and Mega hugs and enjoy your day xx

No at least not for us but I am sure the children enjoyed the drama.. As the green mist covered their tractor trailer which they were travelling in as it stopped by the witch.. You could have heard a pin drop.. As they must have been told to keep quiet.. Because you could hear them coming a mile off before hand lol.. The witch came out and the children screamed and they all threw their glitter spell balls at her causing her to fall and die a horrid death of screams lol.. They all cheered as the mist cleared and they road away.. Lots of theatrics but brilliant fun to watch from our vantage point.
