halloween is rockin' in ...


This is the very first time, I think, that I've posted a video, rather than a still image, to the blog ... so I'm hoping that it works, for those of you who aren't seeing this on FB.   But truly, even if it's only 4 seconds long, you have to see this skeleton mother rocking her baby in action ... The Halloween Decorations in Los Feliz are starting early this year.



For those of you who find my fascination with such decorations a little over-enthusiastic, I attribute it to going on the Ghost Train at Battersea Funfair in c.1962 (a remnant of the 1951 Festival of Britain) - I found this so thrilling that I tried to get my gang of neighborhood children to build a ghost train in the back passage of 12 Hillside, and the rather fine painted 2D cardboard skeleton that I constructed for this event (just about everything else was hanging sheets and string spider-webs) still hangs on the back of the hall cupboard door at No. 20 to this day ...
