Halloween...how many did you have?
 
Well Halloween has come and gone and as usual it was very quiet at our house.

We had 8 possibly 11 kids, all around 15 years of age.

Why do I not know exactly how many? Well Mrs_P opened the door to the first group of three and I opened the door to the second group of eight but that could have included the first three back for more. :confused::sneaky:

Anyway bottom line is we have lots of candy left over for us. :thumbsup:

Not sure, we went out with ours and left a bowl of candy on the doorstep with a note to 'take one and leave something for others'.

Not sure how long they lasted.

0 - same as usual. A long, unlit driveway doesn't encourage visitors. Being in a sparsely populated neighbourhood doesn't help either.

We had one group of 6. We'd got a bag of Werthers in just in case anyone called - we live on the edge of the village and there is only one house with kids in on our street. We're all wrinklies.

Maybe 15-20 in 4 groups.

Was mild & dry - is very wet & windly today so back to the usual Yorks weather.

Last year's tally (or first year in our house) was a measly one little boy.

This year was slightly different - about 8 or 9 doorbell rings, usually with three or more kids at a time. In fact, we managed to get rid of more than half of the candy that was left over from last year ;) (I guess its the downside to getting to know your neighbours!!!)
