We got no visitors (no welcoming pumpkin on the doorstep - or indeed treats got in) but our neighbours who do participate, received lots. I was waiting for a late delivery, so I was watching the street and it was the first time I've really noticed the kids out in force in this. My b/f who popped to the shop to pick up some wine for us (due to the late delivery) also said they were out in droves. I enjoyed seeing the wee tots dressed up as tiny witches, with their mums laughing and having fun. I think it's a good thing for the community. And whats more I think next year there will be a pumpkin on our doorstep too.
