It's Halloween - But Last Night ‘Twas The Night Before Halloween!!!!

Surprise Halloween PartyLast night,  the night before Halloween, to thoughtfully accommodate our guests busy schedules  Darrell and I decided to host a bit of a Halloween “do”!
010007
We invited a few carefully selected list of guests, known for their considered bon viveur-acity  for a “sophisticated” Come Dine With Me meets Hello Magazine type evening ….. but we didn’t tell Nigel what was occurring until he got home …..
Halloween 2013…… so when he saw the door mat ….. his little face was a picture!046Everything looked soooooo seasonally festive and romantic …… Darrell had done us proud raiding the Poundshops of Wolverhampton, Kristy Allsop or Martha Stewart could not have done a better job!
Halloween Party TableAs Nigel looked round his eyes just got bigger and bigger ….
Happy Halloween Nigel. Wolverhampton…… and before we had even started ……
Ghosts Akimbo Halloween Wolverhampton 2013Smallfrys Halloween Pumpkin outfit
……he declared that it “Twas the bestest Night Before Halloween Night ever, ever, ever!”
Halloween Thank You…… I will admit it all got a touch emotional ……
Halloween Memories….. which also felt a little strange when dressed as two pumpkins and a skeleton, but then …….. we had honoured guests to welcome ……
Trick or Treat Pumpkin. Halloween 2013Wolverhampton Halloween 2013
…… while Nigel bagsed his seat at the table!
009The food was truly phenomenal, kindly cooked by one of our guests, Mr C with an Asian twist …..
006…… which was well off the scale on our spicy Halloween Richter Scale of noms!

And then, after afters pudding desert dessert ……. someone got out the glow sticks …….
014Oh Mon Dieu ….. Nigel who was already beside himself with joyous excitement, was catapulted to another level of “beside himself”, saying that they were the most wondrously spooky things he had ever seen in his life ……

……. and while the adults sat round the table enjoying amusing Halloween banter and gossip of the day  ….. Nigel went off in the dark to glow ……
015022
It was a very, very happy night for everyone,  but especially Nigel …..
glowsticks in the light…. who insisted on going to bed ….. though robustly fatigued ….. surrounded not only by his own glow sticks but also by the ones our guests had left behind …..
glowsticks…… sweet dreams Nigel!

Marc,
What a comprehensive list of phobias.
Philophobia is not fear of someone called Phil, but fear of horses.
