Haunted Garden Kelso Quadrant

01/11/2022

A big thank you again to everyone for coming last night and for helping us to raise £345 for Lanarkshire Counselling & CBT Centre . That’s enough for someone to receive 10 sessions of counselling with a qualified therapist.

That really will change someone’s life. It could be a mum making it through a hard time, a son still sitting at the kitchen table or a friend smiling again.

Thank you all!

We just want to say a big thank you to everyone who came tonight. It really means a lot to us. To everyone new, welcome to the club, to everyone who’s been before, thanks for coming back.

We haven’t gotten around to counting yet but we look forward to letting you know how much we raised in the morning. In the mean time here’s a few pics I grabbed in between terrifying weans 😂😂😂😂

Bob and Mags don’t get out much, but apparently those 10 days a year they work, entitles them to annual leave. I’m not saying they don’t deserve it but with only 3 days until Halloween, we really needed all hands on deck.

Having set up camp in a distance part of the garden Bob quickly realised there was a reason no one goes on holiday with 8 kids.…

Remember to pop by and see Bob and Mags on Monday night from 5pm to 8pm, Kelso quadrant, Coatbridge and if you can, bring a donation for Lanarkshire Counselling & CBT Centre to help support the amazing work they do in the community

As you can see the emergency services have enough to deal with so to make things go as smoothly as possible on Monday night we would appreciate if people could be mindful of the following.

1. Please don’t bring any fireworks or sparklers
2. Please don’t pull out of, climb on or allow your kids to climb on or pull out of any of the decorations. We will make them a permanent part of the display 😂
3. As it’s a residential street with limited parking , the best place to park is at Blairhill station or at the entrance to Drumpellier country park, which is just a 3 minute walk around the corner.
4. Please keep the street clear for residents and emergency services.
5. We will be handing out sweets and home made candy apples but we cannot guarantee that these are allergen free. If in doubt don’t put it in your mouth.

Please don't ring 999 if you're in dispute with your local supermarket about pumpkins. A call like this could prevent us from dealing with a genuine life or ...

Bob and Mags eventually dragged their weary bones out of bed, only to discover that the pumpkin fairies had already been and done the work for them.

Being bone idle, this rather suited then, so they posed for some family photos and afterwards mags made some ’not quite chicken’ soup

Remember to come and say hi as we raise money for Lanarkshire Counselling & CBT Centreon Halloween night! Kelso quadrant, Coatbridge, 5pm-8pm ! Make sure and bring a donation if you can

Bob And Mags are having a lie in this morning so we are starting off the day with a wee pic of our pumpkin wenches.

The “ladies” are elbow deep in pumpkin guts and as much as We’d like to make a joke about that, we are just grateful that we don’t have to carve these monster pumpkins ourselves! Thank you Jassy Forrester and Lauren Forrester

With Only 5 days left until Halloween Mags was feeling a bit stressed and decided to have a therpay session with Bob. We aren’t entirely convinced that he’s actually a qualified therapist but he does have a clipboard and a pen and that’s something at least. His lack of ears might be problematic but we’re sure he can work around that.

We’d like to point out that Mags is not actually one of his French girls…..

Come visit us on Halloween night as we raise funds to support Lanarkshire Counselling & CBT Centre and the invaluable work they do for the community. We promise they won’t let Bob practice on real clients. So come join us on 31/10/2022 at Kelso Quadrant, Summerlee, Coatbridge. 5pm-8pm

With ONLY 6 days to go until Halloween, Bob wanted to relive his glory days. Apart from being quite the looker, Bob played in a moderately successful house band, The Rolling Bones. Copyright infringement and an early demise put an end to that but the family still like to hear him play.

Unfortunately Mags got a bit excited and started reliving her glory days by chucking her knickers about. The kids scarpered at this point but then that’s probably why there’s 8 of them. You’ve gotta keep the magic alive somehow….

Remember to tells your friends to bop along to Kelso quadrant 31/10/2022 5-8pm

My neighbours have just given up on asking questions when I’m out in the garden at this stage.

“What’s that? “
“Oh it’s just him across the way again”
“Is that a dead body?”
“Probably… There’s been stranger things….”

With ONLY 7 days to Halloween it’s easy to get carried away with the workload of getting ready but Bob and Mags always make sure to take some time to relax and have a cold one to warm their bones. There’s even time to feed the birds!

Make sure to come and meet Bob and Mags this haloween in Kelso Quadrant, 31/10/2022 5pm to 8pm!

Bob doesn’t regret many things about his afterlife but with ONLY 8 Days left until Halloween, taking all the kids fishing on a Sunday morning might just be one of them….. he’s also not convinced that there actually are any fish in the water feature… but then what can you expect from someone with no brains 🤷‍♂️

Come see if you can find any fish this Halloween in Kelso Quadrant 5pm-8pm

22/10/2022

ONLY 9 DAYS TO HALLOWEEN!

And this lot have refused to do a lick of work until they’ve had their breakfast. I suppose all things considered, a few eggs is still cheap labour. I draw the line at butter though. Gotta keep these guys trim.

Please remember to like and share and tell your pals! 5pm to 8pm Halloween night!

Hi everyone ! This halloween I’m hoping to raise money for Lanarkshire Counselling and CBT centre so that they can continue to provide counselling to some of the most vulnerable members of our community who might not otherwise be able to afford it.

We know times are tough for everyone but we usually have a couple of hundred people through the garden every year so a pound or two here and there will hopefully add up!

So spread the word, invite your friends, traumatise your kids. 5pm-8pm 31/10/2022. Kelso Quadrant, summerlee, Coatbridge
