This is my costume!

OMG, you should buy some new stockings. . This is my costume

[Gemini]

Plant, will you be warm enough?! We have stoked up the fire, so hopefully you will be

The buffet is being laid out now, and spooky cocktails mixed. I'll look in again later!

[Gemini]

I think I will have a Witches Brew Cocktail, I wonder what's in it??!!






Oh dear, two of our members have been turned into cats!! I wonder who they are? I don't see Oma or Qwerty anywhere

[WeeGranny]

Boo!!!!!!!!! Was that loud enough to scare you all?

We've just had a jolly Halloween with all the local children (with their adults) trick or treating. The costumes were amazing, lots of home made ones and wonderful painted faces. Amin, the father of the three over the road directly opposite us, excelled himself with his wizard costume. We've been staying with friends in Kent since Friday so I didn't have time to make my usual scary cakes so substituted with packets of minstrels and smarties instead. Suspect that there won't be much sleeping tonight in a lot of households.

We have a Community Hub which allows all the neighbours to communicate and share events and requests and organises activities. We keep an eye on the older (not there yet!) members to make sure all's well.

' so heres a pic you can print off if you want to say you are happy to have spooky visitors but decorating/carving feels like too much work. The scary face on a tangerine is also a great idea. And we’ll leave any un-decorated houses alone.

see you then x

Good morning.
We have Trick or Treat-ed the last couple of years along kinveachy & Heathwood; families who participate usually have a lit pumkin/lantern or decorate their front door/windows.

We usually go between 16.00-18.00 & theres a great community feeling along the way.

For our neighbours whom choose not to participate (no lights, pumkins, decorations), we do not knock, giving them the respect of their choice.

Hope to bump into to you all our path!

Hi all
A few of us are planning to take the children trick or treating on Halloween night, probably around 6pm ish. We don't want to bother people who would prefer not to have a hoard of little monsters turn up on their doorstep so we were wondering if we should introduce some kind of sign which marks out houses who are receptive to trick or treaters? Traditionally I think it's a pumpkin outside the door but that might seem like a lot of effort. Any ideas anyone...?

Nana sends her apologies, she's busy babysitting, and to buy you all a drink on her, so hit the bar ladies

[Daisy]

Gem - many thanks to Nana - we'll set up a tab for her! That witch's brew has made me thirsty, so I'll have a large Bloody Mary with lots of Worcester Sauce, please, bar person.

I nearly missed the party altogether - our intent connection has been such rubbish today!

[Qwerty]

Just a nightcap for me thank you Nana, coffee with a sniff of brandy then I must head home or rather hop home!

[Gemini]

Great party! Good music Daisy

Now to clear up every cobweb, spider and pumpkin, and give the place a good clean. Soon we will be putting up the Christmas decorations

Where am I, where is everyone? I must have fallen asleep, have I missed all the fun?
