So the Halloween chatter is
starting in our house. Last year, I must have ‘missed the memo’ stating that
Halloween is now a festival to be officially embraced here in Australia so,
like every other year of my life, I completely ignored the occasion without a
second thought. Subsequently and to my
surprise, I had two sour–faced, moping children who howled that it wasn't fair
then spent the evening with their snivelling noses pressed up against the
window watching the trick-or-treat ritual taking place in our street around
them.
My second relevation was that the
neighbours went all out. Cobwebs through their front garden, jack-o-lantern
thingys, lights, spooks, costumes – they whole bit. (Special thanks to them for
rubbing salt on the wounds by the way…)
