Sue is making some decorations for Celia's Place for Halloween and we were reminded of the time when we had a bat in the house. When we lived at Whitelands we used to get a lot of animal interaction but this was the most memorable. It was about 1 o'clock at night - Sue and I were already in bed - Celia came rushing down (3 storeys, she had the top room) saying there's a bat in the bedroom. When she switched the light off it flew around the room but when she switched it on it stayed still. You aren't supposed to handle bats but we had to. The next day our neighbour said 'there was a commotion from you lot last night?' I said 'sorry we had a bat in the bedroom'. He totally understood,
