I'll be posting it later today. No worries, though, if you're a bit on the squeamish side about such things -- discreet thumbnail versions of the photograph will protect the finer sensibilities... and the curious types can click through to take a closer look.

That's Halloween, alright: the one night a year when the dearly departed undesirables return to their "old" homes. The fly in the Cupid's Oil Lamp is the prevalence of those old shoes in the chimney. Sounds like Christmas, to me :) Cheers, Mitch After reading the linked article at oldhouses.com, I’m thinking this all ties in with Halloween, somehow, what with the cat and the witch and warding off evil spirits.

Foolishly I brought the one that dropped out of the roof in my old cottage in Ireland back to England. Now I really think I should take it back - what on earth will Ryanair make of it?
