For outside Gay Gordon's neat little bungalow has been hanging a four foot plastic skeleton complete with lurid purple neckerchief
Is devil worship rearing its ugly head in the village?
Answers on a postcard
And just to clarify things for new readers Gay Gordon is only a nickname and not a lifestyle comment....Gordon is just very flamboyant
ReplyDeleteV...and very cheerful.........picture a bald Brian Blessed on an invalid Scootter who shouts " flower" all of the time and you will get my gist
DeleteWith Halloween just around the corner, I'm thinking Gay's place is the headquarters of The Lavender Hell Mob....
ReplyDeleteA subtle reminder of our mortality
ReplyDeleteI'll make no bones about it; it's not the most accurate skeleton I've ever seen
ReplyDeleteIgnoring the pun; I thought the pelvic area was a bit suspect. It looks more like a dogs head!
DeleteMind you, what do I know? I failed CSE biology.
Is it a weird wind chime?
ReplyDeleteGood on him ~ I am sure it has got lots of laughs
ReplyDeleteNice guttering and slate tiles. Are they Welsh (the tiles)? Oh, right, sorry the skeleton, it's Halloween month! x
ReplyDeleteps sorry, forgot to say and re your post title, was that a book by Dennis Wheatley?
ReplyDeleteHalloween insanity has been up for weeks in this town.
ReplyDeleteIs Gay Gordon now running a franchise for "Slimming World"?
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing ugly about that lavender scarf, it's all rather beautiful. I think Gordon should add another accessory each week--a flowery hat, perhaps, and a straw purse maybe?
ReplyDeleteI think he's just getting ahead ready for Halloween, no doubt the Christmas tree and fairy lights will appear in a couple of weeks :-)
ReplyDeleteIf it dances when it's windy that's okay. But if it starts singing as well then I'd get worried. Whoooooooo.......
ReplyDeleteOf the skeleton could talk, I think he would say, "I've been waiting for my very own invalid scooter for a very long, long time and I'm going to keep hanging around until I get one!!!"
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the poem,'When I am old, I will wear purple'.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't know it, I'll hook it out of my files and let you have a copy.
I love that poem.
DeleteCertainly does not look the ticket for a human skeleton.......
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the picture I thought you had taken your wedding diet a little too far!! I know you said you wanted to lose a bit of weight!
ReplyDeleteI have one just like that, minus the scarf. Love the scarf.
ReplyDeleteTrick or Treat !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Halloween is only one day, when you've invested in such a nice decoration you'd want to hang it out a while longer than a day or two, maybe even leave it up until Thanksgiving (except you don't do that holiday, do you) just to get your money's worth. Or leave it up all the time, like people do their Christmas lights, and maybe add a different decorative scarf for different holidays. Except someone might think he's a chiropractor.
ReplyDeleteAnd with it being Wales, who knows if there's going to be a day dry enough to put up the decs between now and Halloween.
DeleteJan
DeleteU have to remember that this figure has been up for weeks
Have you noticed the unusual pelvic structure? Maybe he is trying to tell you something.
ReplyDeleteThe more you tellme about your village the more I think it must be the strangest village in the whole of Wales - or maybe you are just good at rooting out the oddities.
ReplyDeleteThere is one of these, or maybe its more anatomically correct cousin, in a tiny alcove in the day surgery unit at our local hospital. Breaks the ice for the nervous!
ReplyDeleteJohn, i shall have to post a picture i saw that made me think of you immediately. I shall have to post it to my blog so you can see it.
ReplyDeleteHe really should feed his guests a bit better. The poor chap's wasting away, he's just a bag of bones.
ReplyDeleteWe have just had a terrific thunderstorm here
DeleteNo electricity here
Thanks for the comments

ReplyDeleteGay Gorgon has become a Rag and Bone man ? !
