Happy Samhain! 

We were informed by a please looking memeber of the hotel staff where we are staying in Xian that is was Hello-in today.  There was a brief thunderstorm earlier, but now it is sunny. 

I have just read on Wikipedia about a woman in Penwith in Cornwall who was the first person to register with the Inland Revenue as a 'village witch'.  I wonder if there are any 'city witches'?
