When I visited the gardens at Thorp Perrow, I couldn't avoid parts of the 'Halloween Trail', which I suppose is aimed at youngsters but certainly spooked this oldie! I nearly jumped out of my skin when I turned a corner to be greeted by the above piratical lot and my movement triggered a very loud, taped rendering of 'What shall we do with a drunken sailor?' 👀
I was less bothered by this slender being enjoying a bath. She seems to have pinched my shower cap! 😂
I didn't stop for a 'Psychic Reading'... No thank you!
Apparently the estate only has a skeleton staff of gardeners. No wonder, when the trees harbour scary beings like the one below!
The Bog Garden was inhabited by this toothsome hulk (!), making no bones about everything. It seemed he'd scared a couple of visitors so much that they landed headfirst in the bog! I made sure I didn't end up the same way, making a rapid exit to a less terror-filled part of the gardens!
With some of these, I would have had been able to laugh as a child, but others would have given me nightmares!
