Who are all these witches, warlocks and strange ghostlike creatures? It's the Graemsay Hallowe'en Party of course - um.... in costume in case you were wondering!!
We had our party on Saturday but I thought today, actually being Hallowe'en, was the appropriate time to write about it. Some of us decorated our wee community hall in the afternoon and set it up ready for the evening. I spent most of the time screaming because I hate spiders - even "pretend" ones! Anyway eventually the hall was ready and we all returned home to get dressed up ourselves.
There were witches and warlocks .....
and skeletons.....
and devils ......
and creepy monsters...
Everyone brought some food for the supper, which as usual was enough to feed a much bigger island! Though I avoided some of the "themed" food, even if it WAS only coloured icing! No party is complete without music and games. Someone had brought along a CD of "Hallowe'en" music which included the 1970's "hit" of "The Monster Mash" (anyone remember that?!) and creepy noises and screams!
All the children then followed the Head Witch around the hall to the music, and each did a party piece - telling a joke or singing a song. Their reward was then showered with lots of sweeties (candy) and the games began.
Among them was traditional "apple bobbing" (apples floating in water and you have to catch them in your mouth - no hands!)......
Pass the parcel (for the kids) and my personal favourite, the "Mummy" game which is a race to see who can bind up their "mummy" quickest, and who is the quickest "mummy" to burst out of their bonds!
There was also an "eat the donut hanging on a string without using your hands" but I couldn't stop laughing long enough to take any photos that weren't blurry! Anyway the evening went well and a good time was had by all. I don't think too many of us had nightmares afterwards, which is amazing looking at this scary lot - tee hee!
