Not the best start.


What's a girl to do when her brother finds a piece of air dried tripe that she's carefully buried in the rose border ?

First thing to do is shriek.

When that fails it's best to settle down, look glum and wait for him to get distracted.

Bob briefly looks at her as if to say ' You're totally unequipped  to handle the genius of your great brother '. He then gets back to chewing. Sophie sighs.


En route to the bakers we pass one of those travelling circuses that the French love. Camels, Yaks, Zebras all pacing around in a field by the roundabout. Angus is not a fan of wild animals in circuses. He's even less keen on what would happen to the wild animals if the remaining circuses were closed. A Monday morning moral dilemma.


The young artisanal baker is getting into the Halloween mood. She is very proud of the faux bloody hand prints in her display cabinet. This is an unusual topic of conversation before breakfast.

I agree with the baker - the bloody hand prints are very well done!

The hands are well done and the little Halloween decorations on the cakes a nice seasonal touch too.

The dog's eye-view is interesting.
As long as bats and spider webs are made of chocolate, they're welcome.

I like the chocolate spider webs on the custard things, they would suit me just fine. I am less enamored with the handprints, although I can see they are well done, I would prefer not to have my food on them.
