The pumpkin soup was a success and I made a pumpkin pie too. As I had made a lot of pastry I also made a gooseberry pie (loads in the freezer - I grow them). We are all F T B (full to bustin').
The pumpkin lantern is sitting on the bench in the front garden with 3 tea-lights inside it.
I had 7 different lots of trick-or-treaters, all accompanied by grown-ups, so I had to be scared stiff 7 times. The funniest visit was a tiny witch accompanied by 2 girls of about 12. They nudged her and said, "Say trick or treat", so she did then I asked her how old she was. She turned to her big sister and said, "How old are I?" Turns out she was "nearly free".
