So much to choose from in #Waterford today on All Souls Day. I have stories of ghost ships, fairies, body snatchers, damned vikings, helpful spirits and a too brave ghost hunter to share at Christ Church at 7.30pm 👻 👽 😱

My mother and a neighbour has a deserved reputation for quality treats. Pats in hospital this year so she felt the need to make a bigger effort. Despite getting a stash in her weekend shopping, I found her in the local shop weighed down with further treats yesterday. 🎃 👻
