Halloween - traditionally the time of year for ghosts, witches and things that go bump in the night. It does not feel right this year though – the bank holiday was last Monday and nothing supernatural would ever scare you as much as the budget and over seventies protesting in that church in Dublin last week. Halloween seems to have followed Christmas and become an ever more commercialised event. Even the shops seemed to have given up on it this year and are filling up with their Christmas stuff as I write. At this rate of going they will have the January sales in early December followed by Easter eggs on offer by the New Year. Don’t worry our scary teddy sitting in the main hall at Smarmore Castle represents the true meaning of Halloween.
