SCHOLASTIC SPOOKS

I had fun making these white chocolate ghosts for the school.  The idea and instructions are in the October edition of UK Good Housekeeping [only whoever made theirs managed to "sculpt" better tails than I did].

Mr Twain came to have a look at these two

and Messrs Joyce and Poe liked this one:

I hope you're all suitably scared!

A VERY SPECIAL SABATO MUSICALE

On the day when the Welsh flag flies in Modica's Via Sacro Cuore, I think we should combine the two cultures by featuring a Welshwoman singing an Italian song:

Katherine Jenkins - Se si perde un amore

The Union Jack and Welsh and Italian flags signal the opening of the new  English Matters  school in Modica.  I am proud to be associated with the school and I'll be telling you a lot more about it soon!
