Some strange noises from the attic over Christmas .Expecting rodents or rot I ventured up the rickety ladder into the darkness above . Peering in the gloom I came upon the cause of the commotion and my worst fear incarnate. #uncannycommunity @danny_robins @_EvelynHollow

Years ago as a wide eyed and impressionable young Lad I spent many hours carving Jack O lanterns out of swedes .When I mentioned this to @churchill_alex today she laughed like I was some sort of psychopath . Please speak up if you also made the Jack o swede ?. I’m not alone
