Well, we just had our first ,and last I hope, of trick or treaters this evening!!
One of the 5 youngsters wore a skeleton costume.
Hmm, I should have perhaps played this link below very loud when they rang the door bell.

Very quiet here too imho, only had two little girls about 6.30!..........Have a basket of goodies waiting too!...............my grandsons will enjoy them tomorrow!............

Well, I've got two packets of sweets left welsh.
If no one calls, maybe I will finish them off.I'm not a big sweet eater much, but I'll force myself. xD

We've still got two huge bowlfuls left. Mind you, no bloody maltesers. Harumph.

We went out and everyone one was really nice and very generous (although we only go to the houses of people we know or those people who are obviously waiting for people to knock their doors - some people seem to make an awful lot of effort). Our youngest (the two year olds) really enjoyed it and were easily the littlest ones out tonight.

Mmmmm...I like Maltesers too Barmaid!! :P

Only one pumpkin on display in this village in Cambridgeshire ! And I haven't noticed any trick or treat either. Didn't stop the Parish Council from considering whether to issue "No trick or treat here" notices, a plan swiftly abandoned because it would probably encourage it! Maybe it's a town thing, though it doesn't seem much more obvious in Cambridge, a city of nearly 100,000 only eight miles away.

Apparently pumpkins here aren't imported. They come from Spalding, in Lincolnshire, an area more famous for bulb fields than pumpkin fields. One grower, interviewed on TV, grows 3 million a year and says he regrets that none of them get used for soup or pumpkin pie

Mine were "English" pumpkins, Fred. They got used for carving and the flesh used for pumpkin soup, pumpkin cake (which was lush) and spiced pumpkin seeds. I had to come the back way home from Ipswich the other day and came through the back end of March and Manea - there were loads of the things! Looked quite impressive.
