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".

Nice one, glad all your effort was worthwhile. How the heck do you grow gooseberries tho, I like them. They come from seeds or what? How mutch tending do they take?
