Halloween

[Accy cyclist]

We don't seem to get any callers ever since I adopted this pumpkin design, which is fine by me.

The treat most seem to want/expect is money. They're not interested in the trick side.

Got good at making the older ones disappear fast though. First ones were round last night(Saturday).

Joyeux anniversaire, Gavroche.

I remember apple bobbing as a brownie 50 years ago so imho it's not an American invention.

Commercialised and American influence now but I believe roots go back to pagen festival celebrated halfway between the autumn equinox and winter solstice so not exactly new. Of course most of our festivals date back to pagan times.

All Saints Day eve.

maybe the parents/adults discourage the little ones from going to houses that aren't decorated.

Houses decorated for halloween?
What'll be next?

Related to the plastics thread, was horrified to see in my local sainsburys plastic pumpkins in various sizes. Where are they going in a matter of days?

We used to carve turnips but I guess pumpkins are easier to cut up.

All Hallows' Eve?

My wife's sister lives in Allhallows....and she is staying with us right now. Scarey ? OH yes.

I notice that fireworks going off non stop from early October has deceased around here in the last few years. I'd put it down to fireworks being too expensive now and folk(idiots)spending their money on halloween crap instead. So at least some good's come out of this halloween stuff.

Not sure, but this Geordie lass took the wearing not much a bit far.
