I'm not sure why he or she is sitting in the window of Cafe Roya on Wollaton. I suspect it has something to do with Halloween, which is still a few weeks away. I say 'he or she' even though I'm not into ghouls, zombies or the like.
On the plus side I'm sure it will bring a smile to the face of any passer-by who notices our friend in the window, but not quite as amusing as the Metro Cafe's Halloween offering for the last few years, also a skeleton but with a dog too. I've never seen him or her with the cup of coffee but then skeletons do have bowel problems if you think about it.
I took these two pics almost three years ago to the day and did a post at the time, which you can see here under the heading 'Unworldly folk you can see here in Beeston'.
I admit to not liking the 'trick or treat' Halloween which has been imported from America for purely commercial reasons. Oh I know it has a place in some Christian faiths, but then I am no fan of religious redemption; of being able to buy eternity whatever one's mortal crimes regardless of faith.
We live with our sins (and by this I mean things which we do rather than the breaking of some religious command/rule) as best we can.
I have reached the point in my life where Christmas has become my time for reflection and find myself missing those who I would have once shared a table with but then I love winter, especially February. Right now though I am enjoying autumn. My next post I think.
