If you are in the Pendle area on Sunday this is usually good fun. I’ll be there with the Cub Pack, boosting the number of monsters.

Think my F-in-law is going as he lives in Roughlee.
We went a few years ago and it was great and we always have to stop so the girls can say 'hi' to Alice 🧙‍♀️

You have to say "Hi" to Alice.

I walked up the hill last week. It’s a lovely area - my first time there.

The poet Simon Armitage made a nice film about the witches:
