No, we’ll be here, with a pumpkin in the window, dishing out mini packs of Smarties or whatever to local kids.
Gdcs (1 1/2 hours away) will almost certainly be having a riotous do with friends at home, though. I’ve bought them a spooky light-up house (a fiver from M&S, not plastic), some pumpkin-face fairy lights (also not plastic) and some glow in the dark balloons. Dd always sends lots of WhatsApp pics so I dare say Halloween will be no exception.
I always make our pumpkin into a Thai style spicy soup the next day - waste not want not!
