Orange balloons on the door knocker waiting for little witches and pumpkins to visit for sweets !

I usually have some sweets but to be honest I can’t be bothered this year The kids seem good and only come to the door if you put some signs of Halloween out so not expecting any knocks tonight

I am all ready for guisers. 👻 My street is a lovely mix of young families and retired folk.

It is, BL - I love peace and quiet, can’t stand screaming kids.

Loads here (daughter’s house on new estate) but hardly any where I live where the houses are around 20 years old - as are many of the kids who used to trick or treat once upon a time.

None here - no children in the village

Sounds like a great place to live.

Our 6y old Li’l Miss has her Halloween joke ready. She was practicing the punchline at the weekend!

“Why doesn’t Dracula have any friends?”
🧛‍♂️
“Because he’s a pain in the neck.”

Witzend, (I always buy treats we like, in case (we hope) of leftovers 🐷.
I like your style!

And the pumpkin will be turned into a Thai-style soup tomorrow - waste not, want not.

We usually get between say 12 and 20 T or Ters, but last year nobody came. I dare say the fact that it was raining didn’t help.
I’ll be putting a not very big pumpkin in the window, and will have some treats ready, but maybe dh and I will have to eat them all ourselves again, oh dear…

So looking forward to this evening, last year the littlest witches and monsters were out spooking just after 4 o'clock!
No scary stuff in this house, my window will lure them in with a pumpkin head scarecrow with black paper bats on threads, fluttering away ( just need to angle the fan and we're off).
Love listening out for their excited voices as the approachgrin
If you celebrate this too hope you have a happy time !
