        We had around 60 kids visit tonight, not all at once! Nearly ran out of sweets - some of them had made great efforts at make up and costumes.

            Blimey!
            Do you live in a densely populated area?

            I had the grand total of ...


























            ... zero!

            Just as well really: Ozzy was given a bone for a treat and he parked himself by the front door to savour it ... any Trick Or Treaters would have been well advised *not* to knock:whistle: :heehee:

                  It's a cul-de-sac with hardly any traffic so it's a bit safer for the little kids. We had about the same last year, there are an awful lot of young families living in the village now.

                  Thanks maria! I had to bring in the pumpkins and switch off the lights when our grandkids went to bed, they were getting mega-excited by the whole thing.

                      Perfect Halloween here - not one knock on the door.

                      I just wish that the bloody fireworks would stop - scares our wee man witless

                        Haven't heard *one* this year (bliss!).
                        Usually by this time of year I'm fair fed up with the lot of them - and knowing they will still be going on through to New Year.

                        I like it here :wub2:

                          Lucky M we have had a few from dewali last week but none that close

                          Last night there was quite a few and some quite close which upset the cats

                          Tonight is going to be a nightmare a pub that is only a row of houses away are having some for a reopening and so is one of the big parks near by.

                          Its going to be a long night
