Our hanging creations are complete, and now in place in the trees. They have proved hugely popular with visiting children, and I have spotted many having their picture taken with our various creatures. We call this one Spike.
This is Swampy.
This is Grunt.
This is Yvonne.
And this is the Bad Bishop.
I have since received a comment card. It reads:
"My husband and I enjoyed the tea room and the house but we felt that as practising Christians the witches and corpses depicting Halloween weren't quite what we were expecting!"
I have many thoughts on this point of view, but the one I shall leave you with is that it's still a lot less scary than the Nursery Rhyme Walk.

My first thought was "As a practising devil worshipper I thought that finding Christians around the place during the run-up to our holiest time wasn't quite what I was expecting."
My second was "OMG! Doris has pumpkins!"
It was a pagan festival before the Christians took it over, as were Yule and Easter.
And that Grim Reaper is quite astonishing.
Anonymous - yes, I have a plethora of pumpkins!
Stitchwort - Quite so. And yes, he is a triumph!
The Grim Reaper seems to be suffering from rigor mortis.
To Whom It May Concern,
As a practicing corpse who is married to a witch, I was shocked to discover Christians visiting your attraction.
Mr G Reaper,

People who describe themselves as 'practising Christians' rare expect anything, let alone fun.
If they're only practising christians, when do they qualify? Perhaps they should be told they're just asking for a visitation from someone who speaks in capial letters?
Now, as an adherent of the mighty god Om, I deplore the fact that you do not display images of the holy tortoise...
I think I know Yvonne!
some people .. *shakes head*
Grim Reaper looks suspisiously smug at such handling
'I think I know Yvonne!'
Would either you, Birdwatcher, or Doris be able to supply a phone number, perhaps?
Tell Yvonne I scrub up quite well, really (if she's not too particular about callipers, obviously...)
Bob
p.s. I'm reminded by your 'good Christians' of P.J. O'Rourke's visit to Heritage USA, the Christian fundamentalist theme park. He went there filled with scepticism, but came away converted; to Satanism...
Bob - Yvonne is up for some tandem broomstick action all right. She doesn't mind the callipers if you don't mind the warts.
Excellent news Doris! I shall be buying a pair of wart-ridden callipers post haste!
