Cheerful Autumn Display


My neighbor's porch steps! Don't know how long it will last, the squirrels love to steal those tiny pumpkins, not to mention the Indian corn! But a lovely sight to look at meanwhile!

Now isn't that nice! It looks really attractive, I wish we did something like that over here....but unfortunately it wouldn't be squirrels we would have to worry about, it would be the hooligans that are out at night getting their kicks out of destroying things

Re: Cheerful Autumn Display


Too true Mags Living in the town centre I don't leave anything in the front garden that isn't chained or nailed down.

Eileen, your neighbour's display is lovely - so seasonal and cheerful. I'm a bit 'bah humbug' about Halloween, but only because I despise the commercialism of brats hammering on my door demanding sweets or (worst still) money!!!

Re: Cheerful Autumn Display


I have noticed that there area lot more Halloween things in our shops this year, I was amazed to see the racks of dressing up clothes for children, masks, brooms and other ghouly items in Sainsbury's. Special large packs of sweets and treats too!

Years ago we didn't bother much with Halloween but it seems to be getting quite a big thing here now..

Re: Cheerful Autumn Display


Actually, Hallowe'en is becoming more adult-oriented here; some parents are reluctant to let their children go out trick-or-treating; lots of the schools/rec centers have parties for the little ones. And the annual scene in Georgetown of adults in costume partying is a staple on the 11pm news......

Re: Cheerful Autumn Display


Lovely picture. Might have to steal that idea myself

I dont like Halloween myself but it's definately getting more popular like the USA/Canada. I only make the effort because of the children as they like to dress up. I wont take them to peoples houses though and only family come round for a little Halloween tea party.

Any excuse for a party and get together
