Scotland 2010

So where have we been for most of November.  Well, after we quickly put the Halloween display away we packed for a 3 week trip to the UK.

We flew over on Tuesday the 9th and stayed in Edinburgh in a 2 bedroom flat with some friends for 3 nights.  Then we took a train to West Kilbride where we rented Law Castle with 5 other couples and a single person for a week.   We toured all over Scotland and did day trips to Glasgow and into West Kilbride which is on the west coast of Scotland.  The following week we traveled down to Penzance in the Southern tip of Cornwall England and stayed in a 2nd floor apartment overlooking the warf for a week.  We explored most of Cornwall from Land's End to Tintagel to Lizard to St. Austel.  We spent the next 4 nights in a small apartment on the river in Bath where we explored the city and took a tour out to the ancient sites and the cotswolds.  On our last day we took a train into Cardiff Bay and saw the Dr. Who exhibit and where Torchwood and Dr. Who scenes are filmed.

Spiderfest 2010

Here are some final pictures of Chris' spider scene.

Our new prop TOT

We created a new prop this year we call TOT (trick-or-treater).    He hung around behind one of the mud men all month and then up by the gate on Halloween night.   We moved him out front for some photos before we took it all down.

Halloween a big success again

This is one of the first performances of the dancers and the early crowd gathered for Halloween day.

Spider Tree

Chris asked her blog friends to send her spiders she could hang in the tree and create a little miss muffet scene she could photograph Halloween day.  Here are some photos of her setting up.  We also took some pictures of our graveyard dancers with the spiders.

Moonlight photos

Took some photos in the moonlight since it was a full moon tonight.  I'm not all that good with night photography but I try.
