halloween

Well, when I was a kid, this would be Guy Fawkes' Night - with all it's wonderful allusions to British social, religious and political history. Anyway, now we have Halloween. As the children have long since flown the nest, I couldn't really justify a pumpkin, but thought this spare pepper from the fridge would do the job?

Thank you all for your comments on the Fitzroy Square shot from a few days ago - it has fleetingly made it to the PP - really appreciate your support!
Scary looking

I like it Peter! Can't say the same about Halloween; it belongs to an alien culture!
