Happy Halloween everyone!
I have been busy preparing for Fright Night for the children of our village. It is going to be on this Saturday, to give parents time to get their children ready for the event, instead of the 31st of October. My house will be a Safe House again, so nothing really scary here. Some of our neighbours will be setting up their houses as Scare Houses for the teenagers.
My last order of bags of sweets for Fright Night has just arrived. I think that there will be more than enough to go around. I chose Halloween-themed sweets: marshmallow ghosts and eyeballs, skull lollipops, sour spiders, chewy tarantulas, sour fizzy worms, little bags of bones and pumpkin shaped sweets and many more.
Otto decided to help me with Halloween preparations. He is now fast asleep in the basket that I want to put the sweets in. I don't have the heart to move him. His own basket is much more comfortable with a sheepskin rug in, or so I thought!
Mum said that she isn't going to try to count how many children come trick-or-treating this year. Over 160 children came to our house last year! Sometimes large groups at a time.
Here's hoping that the weather will clear up in time for Fright Night. It has been terribly windy and stormy this past week, but we have had no rain so far today. I may just have to decorate the front door and then spread my plastic spiders and bats around the doorstep and leave the paper ghosts, pumpkins and bats for next year. We shall see. Fingers crossed.
I hope that you have a fun time if you are doing anything for Halloween.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Lots of hugs, Rose xxx
