Of all the things to be disrupted by the events of 2020, occasions, parties and get-togethers have perhaps been the aspects of our lives that we miss the most.
And, with Halloween on the horizon (Saturday, October 31st, just in case you’d forgotten), coronavirus restrictions will no doubt make the prospect of keeping the kids amused just that little bit scarier than usual.
