We'd love to know about your Halloween plans and see any pictures of decorations and pumpkins.

I've got some sweets in and hope we get lots of visits. I love seeing everyone dressed up in their spooky outfits. 👻

Whether your pumpkin carving, or trick or treating we hope you have a great Halloween.

    I used to indulge in dookin' fer apples and treacle scones on a string at the Cubs, but I must admit, I am ambivalent these days.

    Happy Halloween 🧟‍♀️

    I haven't got any plans this year and we don't normally get any trick-or-treaters. Of course, I buy sweets just in case and then eat them myself when nobody comes round 😁

    I think I might just get cosy and watch a horror film tonight!

    Just thought I'd add. I saw this earlier and thought it was sweet: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj3zlnzd52do

    I hope 91 year old Fred is having a good Halloween with his massive pumpkin 🎃

    My plans are similar to @Rosie_Scope

    We don't get many trick or treaters, but I have a bowl of sweets next to the door ready to dish out. On the plus side, if we don't have many callers, I'll be eating them over the weekend.

    This is the first year we haven't decorated or carved a pumpkin. Will get involved next year.

    Happy Halloween

    I had a great time tonight by going to a concert in the cemetery with one of my cousins, his daughter and one of my besties The singers were dressed up as zombies. They were quite spooky! The singing was beautiful. Just beautiful. Here are a couple of pics. Happy Halloween 👻 🎃

    That looks like a fun evening @StarryEyed and looks well attended.

    @jonf, what kind of things do you play on your guitar?

    We had a lot of trick-or-treaters last night, we don't usually get many so it was a bit of a surprise.

    I did have a chuckle at a group of older kids who came quite late and cheekily asked "Can we just take the rest?" Their argument that it would stop me having to answer the door was very persuasive…

    brilliant I guess that no means next opportunity.


    I can play anything on a guitar. Only have to listen once and the. I can copy. Not sure why I have such a good talent for music.

    That's an incredible talent @jonf, can you play any other instruments too?

    Hi @jonf

    It was in the cemetery just up the street from my place. Very fitting for Halloween. I have a few generations of family buried there, which made it extra amazing. It's one of my favourite hang-outs. The artwork is spectacular.

    When you move, are you looking to live amongst people, or are you searching for a wide open space again?
