The toll of terror


It’s time to party
To day is Halloween 31 October 06

Just beware of the big bad witch
It is time to put on a costume to dress up
Once you done the dunking of the apple
And you’ve done the pumpkin walk
Sweets and fruit given out by good neighbours
And a clip around the ear by the local police
If you did any wrong?
If was raining you just would walk down the road to some of the neighbours then back to the house
Some of us dressed as witches others had Count Dracula costume on. It be would all over be 7-30 pm if it was a school night. If it was a Friday or a Saturday night you got to stay up a bit late .

Then it was a penny for the guy for the fire works
So I sat outside a shop or outside the house asking for a penny for the guy please then thank you. Having the big bonfire and letting off the fireworks having some friends around. Sometimes it was all the family.
You got to stay up to 10 pm if was on Saturday.
We ever put potato and sausage in the fire and eating then it was time for bed. That was before going to boarding school in 70.
At boarding school we saw the fireworks going off we had no fire, it was full of colours in the sky and now I just look out of the door and see the sky lit up. Even walking home now and still see then let off.
