Happy Halloween!

Bahh humbug, I hate Halloween

But spent the night trudging round after 2 very excited youngsters dressed as witches filling their buckets with enough sweets to last until next Halloween.

Definitely not as many people playing this year as last year. Strict rules for the kids, they only knock on doors where the house is obviously taking part, and are polite and courteous, particularly to older folk and take the time to talk to them.

But watched groups of "older" kids, mid secondary school stampeding round in hyper mode which is what puts me off. I think there should be a commonsense cut off age. It's for little ones, not snotty youths terrorizing neighborhoods. 

Hahaha you sound like my dad!   I wouldn't be impressed with gangs of teenagers coming to the door though. We just had younger kids come here and one older lad had a scary mask, which he took off so he didn't scare my two, he was really sweet and respectful, well brought up clearly!

I bought the last pumpkin in the shop and botched a scary face out of it last minute, as it had a squishy hole already. 

We held our private trick or treat at home only. We invited a few relatives and close friends to join.
