Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take your favourite Chainsaw & carve a scary face.
Add a pile of old Christmas Trees 🎄 and find a suitable place.
Remove the lower branches and place them on the ground.
Weave them through a woodland of trees and a serpent will then be found 🐍

A sad but necessary day, cutting down the Dahlias at home ready for overwintering.
I maybe wouldn’t mind so much if summer had actually arrived in the UK 🇬🇧 🤬 instead of the grey drizzle fest excuse for a summer we actually had ☔️
