Not a fan of Halloween, and never have celebrated it! - but I always have a few treats in the house in case we have a few young witches on the doorstep! Although in the last few years no one has been knocking on the door. Guess who has been enjoying the treats (or naughties)!!!!! So here is my feeble attempt to illustrate the mood of the night!
I feel exactly the same Beryl. A custom from across the pond I think but give me good old Guy Fawkes night anytime but that seems to not be as important these days. We never have ant trick or treaters either p, it doesn’t seem to be popular here thank goodness!
I sound a right misery!! Not so keen on the fireworks perhaps & it’s like burning money but a tradition that’s loosing its history. I love your witches flying around!!
@happypat So good to have someone of the same mind as me ! I had never heard of Halloween until the early 70s ! but Guy Foulks night was always a treat As a child we had a gathering in the village with a proper bonfire, fireworks, jacket potatoes,hot dogs ( or something similar)! lots of fun with every household contributing towards the night - A proper village do!!!!!!!
@beryl Exactly Beryl, I can still remember the excitement of getting wrapped up & going out in the dark to the village bonfire. The smell & treacle toffee etc. when we got older if there was a certain boy we might have our eye on…..would he be there or not? All very innocent but exciting stuff! Have a look at messenger, I sent you a message a bit back!! A bit out of date now!
@beryl oh that’s strange…I can read all the previous messages we wrote so I don’t think it’s the wrong one! Not sure what to do next! It’s the one where you sent me your address! It wasn’t important! It might turn up! 🤣🤣 xxxx

celebrating Halloween use to be only done in the USA. In the last few years it has spread to our country at the bottom of Africa
