Big bears and scary witches!
What a marvellous time we had on Thursday at Cranhill! The Funky Chicken had lots of new friends!
Ryan introduced us all to the Sly Alligator, Daniel showed us the Angler Crab, Genesis found a Bad Eagle and then Beauty met a fabulous Pregnant Elephant!
We all flew high up into the air and soared through the sky holding tight to our colourful balloons as we travelled from France, to Spain, then on to Guatemala, Mexico and Pakistan. We saw all the hat sellers with their beautiful tall hats, a mermaid on a skateboard, and a spectacular chocolate castle! We flew down and tried some and it tasted delicious! It was sweet – some bits tasted like vanilla and others like pineapple – and the chocolate in the moat tasted like crocodile paws!
As we flew back across Glasgow, we happened upon a great gathering of witches from far and wide which was so much fun! There was Witchy Stella from Glasgow who’d travelled here on a rabbit pirate ship, the scary Vampire Witch who enjoyed cooking Blood Potions, Witch Malificent who lived in the forest and a fascinating Witch with no face, called Witch Ahmad who came from the North and the South and liked to eat people for breakfast! Shahd the Quiet Witch did not utter many words but seemed incredibly wise and Witchy Ryan had teleported here from America and France and also liked to eat people for breakfast! I am so glad it was the afternoon and the fabulous Witch Pizza who loves eating Pizza, was there too! She made sure no-one went hungry (or got eaten by a witch!) by putting lots of Pizzas under a tree for everyone!
The two Invisible Witches insisted they were there, but no-one saw them….. Although, I did see two large pieces of ham and pineapple pizza disappearing, bite by bite before my eyes as if by magic!
What a wonderful time we had at our glorious gathering of witches and best of all, Witch Always Has A Turn, decided we should have a parade – because she always has to have a turn!
So, she put some music on and we all paraded outside into the bright sun and across the grass, displaying our fabulous witchy outfits and our best dance moves.
We had the best time and of course we had to play Witches Fingers too, because all great witches love to play this game and especially love the bit where they get to cackle and shout – Poison!!!
What a fabulous day! Looking forward to seeing you all next week!”
