HALLOWEEN CELEBRATIONS & MUCH MORE!

Let’s give ’em pumpkin to talk about… šŸŽƒ

Thank you to Charlotte Greenley for introducing the blog this week. Read on to see our fa-boo-lous photo gallery, hear about the amazing award win for our P3 Gloucestershire team and enjoy the eerie-sistably good read of an MR James ghost story by the legendary Christopher Lee.

 

Hiya,

Iā€™m Charlotte from Development and I love Halloween! I started decorating our office in September and understandably everyone thought I was a bit mad ā€¦ I think it was triggered by another team having a countdown to Christmas on their whiteboard and all I could think is: ā€˜Nooooooo, I havenā€™t had a chance to celebrate Halloween yet!ā€™

I understand a lot of people think its just about plastic decorations and sweets, but one of my close friends celebrates Halloween in its original form ā€˜Samhainā€™ and made me realise Halloween can be about lots more.

By this tradition the day is spent with close friends and family, eating, drinking, playing games and telling stories. I feel like thatā€™s a thing a lot more people can get behind. Thereā€™s always a chance to make new traditions and I feel like this is a good one.

So, whatever you spend your Halloween doing make sure you do it, doing the things you love with the people you love. Whether itā€™s scaring your neighbours or eating with friends you will have a wholesome time, and if you donā€™t celebrate it, maybe its time to make a new tradition.

From me and everyone in the Development Team:

šŸ§›šŸŽƒšŸ‘» Happy Halloween! šŸ‘»šŸŽƒšŸ§›

We'd like to hear what you think!

Thanks for voting!
