Features and blogging

Spooks and frights come out tonight for that dark and eerie ritual known as Hallowe’en. In the leafy northern heights of London’s Hampstead, this annual event has turned into a proper festival. Webbing flutters from railings, blood prints spatter windows, pumpkins grimace with axes through orange heads and, for the last week at least, a witch tied to a gatepost has made us all jump out of our skins whenever we walk past, no matter how many times we’ve been up that road. It’s a proper show-stopper of an area at this time of year.
What’s more scary than any hanging ghoul for us home-owners is the posibility of the local Tesco Express running out of family-sized candy bags. Fortunately for me, I’m the greateful mum of a mid-teen boy whose only interest in Hallowe’en these days is to invite a load of freinds round to watch the scariest film they can get away with, eat all the chocolate, cover the living room in popcorn then crash out in the small hours. Result.
This year to mark the (non) event, I am putting up my very first Wordfairy offer – it is both a trick and a treat and it’s an easy one at that.
Somewhere in the wording of this post you will find not one, not two, but three deliberate spelling mistakes. Spot them, find my email address if you don’t know it already, send me the bloopers in a note, pop to my Insta page @wordfairy and tag a friend, and that’s it.
