Richie from 'Bottom'

So last Hallowe'en, my bloke decided he wanted to go to the Herne Bay zombie crawl (which is basically a thousand-strong fancy dress parade) as Richie from Bottom in his Hallowe'en outfit. He was talking about trying to get a cape and the horned hat from somewhere, and I said 'don't be daft, I can make you those' - despite the fact I had hardly touched a sewing machine since the dreaded bottle green bridesmaids dresses of 2004.  It was harder than I expected getting back into it, but so rewarding when it was done. And yes, he walked around Herne Bay dressed like this. And got on the train. In the daylight.
