Grandmother Lynda Starkey is delighting families in Acomb near York with her Halloween decorations.
"I spend three or four hours each day adding bits and pieces," says Ms Starkey, who brought her Halloween fixation with her from Buxton, Derbyshire, several years ago."Poo," said Ms Starkey. "I've called it 'Plant Pot Poo.' Children have to dip their hand into the pot to retrieve some chocolate fudge. They're going to love it.
Retired Ms Starkey previously worked in the hospitality industry before running her own cleaning business for years. "I do all these decorations to keep myself busy," she says. "It gives me something to do, and the children love it." During the pandemic, Ms Starkey was among a team which made hundreds of face coverings, raising £289 for York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
