The Cosby Crafters return to the streets of Cosby with a Spooky Halloween themed YarnBomb. Join me as I investigate creepy creatures, witchcraft, spells and all manner of spooky things appearing around the Nook area of the small Leicestershire village of Cosby. Appearing just in time for #halloween we find a witch preparing a spell with all sorts of gruesome ingredients bubbling over in her cauldron and a tree full of bats spiders and more certain to make your skin crawl. At the postbox a topper features a selection of beastly creatures around a smiling pumpkin. Happy Halloween !. 

The city of Leicester has been invaded by nine quirky creatures each with their own peculiar personality. Join me on the Leicester Monster Trail as I hunt for these colorful creations on top of Leicester's landmarks, who`s are the tentacles hanging over Jubilee Square, well that`s Tentacle Terry !. There`s Grim Fingers threatening to take the roof off the Bank at the clock tower and do I spy a pair of Googly Glimpsers outside Barrie Stephens salon on King Street ?. Nosey Bonk looks down over Mattioli Woods as Armfull Andy spies on shoppers at Highcross and the Bezerker, Slime Minister, Groaner and Kevin Green-Grabber all join the crazy cavalcade of Monsters.

Join me as I take on the challenge of the Kirkby Mallory Maize Maze. At Kirkby Mallory Pumpkin Patch and Maize Maze you are invited to solve the Maze that is cut into the crop, as you are lead along long corridors of tall Maize every turn seems to look the same with the blue sky above you find a sign asking if you are, Lost? and you very well might be as your next turn brings you to a dead end !. After walking many routes around the maze we eventually spot a flag and a sign reading "I Did It !" and "Well Done !" signaling the exit and completion of the Challenge.

  The Ratby Scarecrow festival returns to the Leicestershire village with a theme of Myths, Legends & Fairytales. The residents of the village got creative on the theme with a wide selection of entries featuring everything from Dragons to the Loch Ness Monster and even the Tooth Fairy and her band of helpers. The event organised by Rooting For Ratby and supported by Bluebells Of Ratby and Anderson Briggs Estate Agents aimed to raise funds for inclusive play equipment for Ferndale Park in the village.
