The blood is the life!

I have never met a Vampire personally, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow.
Bela Lugosi. Austrian Actor. 1882-1956.

Since planting the Rowan at the front door we have been completely free of witches. However, of late we have been much troubled with vampires. I blame the high water table after a wet winter; the poor souls just can't find a decent dry bed in the sodden ground! Anyway, time to get out the defences. I've found the garlic but where did I put the stakes and the silver bullets?

If all this sounds a tad fanciful then do remember that Bram Stoker wrote Dracula whilst staying in Cruden Bay just a few miles along the coast from here.
