Countdown to Halloween!

 It is the first of October, therefore the Countdown to Halloween has officially begun! To say that I love this time of year is an understatement. Vraie Fiction will be exclusively focused on my favourite holiday for the rest of the month, I will post about all its aspects, but especially its spooky nature. Expect to read about a number of scary stories or tropes of scary stories. If you are curious, this picture was taken two weeks ago or so at the Cancer Research UK shop of Wallingford. I just loved the display, so perfectly perfect, even better than the window display of our local one. I suspect Wallingford to be a great place for Halloween. In any case, happy countdown everyone and watch this space.

The Halloween Train

I just could not wait until October to blog about this: LGB has in its new Summer (!) catalogue a Halloween train! Or, as it is called, a "Halloween Gang Car". How cool is that? I wonder why they don't wait a bit to put it on sale, but I guess they want it sold for the upcoming season. In any case, it is so gorgeous and spooky. I really, really, really want to have it! Even though I don't have a railway to run it. This is such a perfect Halloween item, especially for a train lover. Maybe I should buy it before it gets sold out.
