Happy Halloween! It is the time for sweets and scares, chilly mornings and crisp evenings with dried leaves underfoot. The air is cool, and there's a musty and smokey smell. Pumpkins are placed on the steps, and some are turned into lanterns with expressive faces. Growing up in the United States, it is a huge deal. Dressing up in a costume as one of our favourite characters and walking around to ask for treats. As I lived in the countryside, I only ever went trick-or-treating. I was never the one to give out the sweets. In the United Kingdom, it isn't such a big deal, although it does get bigger each year. There's also bound to be a few fireworks, but hopefully there's no one throwing eggs and being a nuissance.
Halloween marks the end of October. We are firmly on our way into November and the winter months from now. I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween.
