I agree Elizabeth ( you aren’t the Queen are you?)?
Anyway, this year we are having the grandchildren and their parents here for a Halloween Party, nice party food a few drinks and some Halloween music ( Ghostbusters/ Monster Mash/The Time Warp etc). I hate carving pumpkins but John Lewis provided me with large light up pumpkins, and M&S
With spooky tableware and banners.
Each child will have some chocolate and a present to take
home. A very few small children may call at the door, and no doubt will look very cute.
I realise this is an ideal sort of Halloween ( a bit Waltons!) but I really dislike all the gruesome stuff that’s sold, so I only do pumpkins and witches brooms, and orange and black balloons.
I had some good tips from GNers about suitable party food which helped.
