leeneia, thank you, now I know what they are!
Well, it was lovely yesterday evening, the little ones came in droves with Mum, or Dad, or both, and some cute dogs on leads. Our neighbour's kitten followed everyone up our drive. The costumes were excellent. Two young lads (aged about 13)were dressed as skeletons, so polite and cheery. Little tots peeped out, a bit scared themselves. My neighbour's two lovely children came, Dracula and a witch, giggling. I was sad when no more arrived. The pumpkins have shrivelled a bit. There's always next year, and the Carol singers come at Christmas. Honestly fancy some people complaining, the sweets only cost us a couple of pounds. It's a community thing, the children love it and it delights us all.
