Halloween

The Emily and Catherine love Halloween, all the dressing up and then there is the sweets. It really has become bigger than bonfire night for them and many other people around the country too. In some way it is a shame, when standing around a bonfire and letting off fireworks use to be so much fun, especially with lovely baked potatoes in the oven to warm you up when you got indoors. Now all the money goes on sweets for an event six days before.

This year there wasn't any pumpkin making; there just wasn't any point and no reason to do it. There was any enthusiasm in me to even think about bothering although in the past it has always been fun. Maybe next year will be different, but at least the girls came home smiling after their nights work, sweets to last them a month. As for bonfire night, we will see, I can see me looking out the window rather standing around a bonfire and letting off fireworks this year at least.
