Party in the woods with the Moshi Gnosher
Izzy got her wish for a scary party in the woods with her friends. A tip-off from a colleague led to a local company who carry out adventures in the woods with campfires. The Moshi Gnosher stole the birthday cake as soon as we arrived and locked it in a treasure chest.
So the girls - we invited a few boys but only one brave soul made it - spent the afternoon looking for the bones of the monster, working out a way to get some blood across a boggy river, zipwiring over the boggy river, and then mixing and casting spells to bring the monster back to life.
The tension once the spell was cast was palpable and the screaming when they spotted the monster extremely shrill. Only poor Ros was actually quite scared though she was later assured by the others it was "only Simon" - one of the two people managing the afternoon - in costume.
All in all, the best birthday party I've been to so far and proof that really, children and a bit of imagination and the woods, are quite happy. Shame poor Ros is less likely to be able to enjoy such a thing given the rather chiller temperatures around her birthday.
