If you've got it, haunt it!

This terrible dark Monday night, we met at the lair/Tap Tavern to run for our lives along the river and across Richmond Bridge to St Christopher's Fellowship to get involved in a gourd time and some hair-raising activities:

Jason/Chris took to the hedges with vigour, creating a Chainsaw Massacre of branches on the driveway. With cunning speed, the evidence was quickly hidden by Top Hat/Adam where noone would discover it (in the garden waste bins).

Stealth-like cats Night/Pippa and Shade/Liz, pruned and shaped bushes into purrfection.

The Butcher/Jp sharpened his blades and took whole flanks off the overgrown bushes.

Haunted Hunter and his owner Teresa scared off intruders and kept the team safe.

The Mobiliser/Lucy had to join late after gruesome delays (the less asked the better), but dialled straight into the action.

Mario/Rosie jumped into action to make the driveway look pretty peachy.

Drusilla/Nina got her teeth stuck into raking leaves and Jack Skellington/Sam made no bones about joining her to get the job done.

The job was done quickly and efficiently and we could have slipped away under the darkness of night, if it wasn't for those pesky kids (Pumpkin Beth and T-Rex Monika) who caused curtain-twitchers and local zombie walkers to look on in fear/confusion!

Liz rewarded the team with bloody marshmallows before leading the exorcise back over the bridge to the safety of the lair.
