It Is Halloween

Not a big deal in the UK, I’ve heard, but big enough here.   TLK is going to be dressed up as a cat, which is a good alternative to her first pick.

Family Time is Nice

Some of the most memorable moments involved visiting Ian’s family.   I’d heard so many good things about Ian’s family already, that meeting them was like meeting people I already knew. 
They were all lovely.
One afternoon, we spent awhile with Ian’s sister and nephew and the infamous Bouncer, their boxer, whom I thought seriously about stuffing [...]
