Thats okay no problem have help this year in the shape of Lewis (nephew) but the pumpkins etc are an excellent idea.... ta Eileen. I decorate the house but we only have the local children come round.........the little ones love it in fact was out today at Asda ad brought the crisps/chocolate etc and will nearer the day get/make some toffee apples......and fruit. Oh and the diabetic choc for the couple of children who like/need that and the gluten free stuff for the little girl down the road and brought the milky way and choc buttons and milky way stars for the tiny ones and the ballons for those who prefer those................see I like Halloween |

Always enjoy Halloween Mags.............had a bit of a lull when Katie and Sophie outgrew it but Lewis and Molly have stepped in the breach well. Sadly their older sister Taylor hates it.  |

Eileen, where'd the picture go? I love Halloween big style, and my aunt gave me tons of decorations last week. She got them in a Tesco sale a few years ago and never used them. So I've got them lol. |

No pic for me either I'm not a fan of Halloween - at least not in it's current guise and not when it is followed within a week by Guy Fawkes Night. I think there are huge possibilities for making 31 October the new national public holiday the politicians keep muttering about. The day (being the archaic All Souls Day) could become a little like the Japanese Ancestors Day, when everyone could do their own thing but it could be a special day for remembering. It would be a right of passage for those who have lost loved ones through the year, maybe give the opportunity for those that wish to visit a grave or memorial. Then, as darkness falls and the next, brighter, day (All Saints Day) approaches, we could return to thinking of the present and the future, and have a fun time with the children, with whatever fancy dress/bonfire/fireworks they want. And NO GUY FAWKES on 5 November. It's ridiculous and totally anachronistic to have something based on a Catholic/Protestant plot from way back. That might also make it easier to restrict fireworks - as they should be. Ah, I sound like Mrs Ghost of Autum Past - halloween, fireworks, guy fawkes - bah! humbug! |

Ooops, sorry! I had accidentally uploaded the pic to my Cats album; noticed it while I was working in it last night and moved it to Non Cat. Apparently that broke the link. I didn't know that, assumed a link to PB was the same, regardless of album..... sadder but wiser now! Here it is again:   |

Thanks for recovering your great picture Eileen! It is very colourful. I sort of like Halloween - the black cats are lovely of course and I love the pumpkins. Not so keen on the ghouls and the ghosties! |

So far the squirrels haven't found the pumpkins and Indian corn...won't look like that when they do! I don't bother any more: tried spraying the pumpkins with Johnsons wax; didn't work; tried using Tabasco hot sauce on them; didn't work .....   |
