Happy Halloween to all of my visitors. This time of year is one of my favourites as I always enjoyed Halloween. My Halloweens as a child were spent in America where my brothers and I would dress up in costume and be driven to the nearest village where we would walk around as a family and ask for candy. I do remember feeling sad when I could no longer trick or treat; I am fairly tall, so I would never have gotten away with it, even if I was covered with a costume.
I always enjoyed trick or treating and seeing all of the costumes that everyone wore and all of the other people who were out doing the same. Halloween has always been much bigger in America than it is here in England. In America, there are set rules for trick or treating. No one ever tricked anyone (at least to my knowledge as it is considered rude), and we knew which houses were giving away candy as they had their porch lights on. England doesn't know these rules yet, and you do hear of sad stories where people have been mean to others.
I am staying in and not celebrating this Halloween, despite it's a rare one in that it is on Saturday this year. In fact, I may be a little quieter over the coming months as I get settled in the new house and the new area. In addition, work is also continuing to be busy for me. I will have a lot of different tasks to focus on over the coming months.
