Tonight, do I have a trick or treat, for you! I’ll be carving my way into all the juicy bits and bobs that make up a Victorian Halloween. If you’re ready for a night of fiery fruity fun, then look no further. There’s a bowl of flaming raisins with your name on it. Looking for love? Who needs Tinder, when you’ve got the Magic Mirror Game. Nothing like the ghostly apparition of a future flame to set your heart ablaze. If you haven’t guessed already, this will be a fun one.
