HeroPress Halloween!

Some people take All Hallow's Eve as an opportunity to sacrifice virgins to their dark gods, while others cower in caves and share ghost stories; we at HeroPress Towers like to indulge in a traditional three-course meal - prepared by my lovely wife in a room decorated to the theme of the evening (also her handiwork).

The centrepiece of the evening was the magnificent Hand of Glory candle which lit up the room and - at one point - even set the smoke detector off!

Our menu for the evening was suitably gruesome; for starters ground guts soup (spicy three bean soup), then guts and eyeballs (meatballs and red spaghetti) with pumpkin surprise (pumpkin-shaped cookies) washed down with blood juice (raspberry Schloer).

All this, as always, to the accompaniment of the music from Phantom Of The Opera and followed by a screening of Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie.
