After a clumsy attempt at this for Halloween 2013, when Husband took Mr B out at the last minute, only to find most of the treats to be gone, I thought I'd try and better it this year. So A very scary zombie (who wouldn't wear his mask cos it was too hot) and I headed out well in time to watch the streets unfold with Halloween chaos. We were ever so slightly, a bit too early this time....
Not to worry, there were quite a few people out and loads of small kids dressed in cute costumes, and we got to have a really good look at the efforts some people had gone to in decorating their place. There were some very impressive sights.
By the end of our venture, poor Mr B was exhausted. And the streets were by this time packed out with tweens running around in gory costumes, many of them carrying props such as a brain in a jar and bloody-looking toy weapons. Definitely time to go home.
My favourite observation was the adult hosts of the houses decked out in Halloween gear, who had gone to a lot of effort to get into the swing of things. Thumbs up to them. While hoards of scary kids set-upon their houses for treats, I noticed a lot of the them had the right idea at this point: put some deck chairs out on the front lawn, invite some friends over for wine, set up one of their tweens with a big bowl of sweets at the front gate and enjoy the show. Better yet, do it all dressed up in a brilliant costume. Bottoms up, I say!
