The change of time and the end of our long hot Summer has left us reaching for warmer clothes and turning up the heat.
But it remained fine at the weekend for Halloween. Little children dressed in all sorts of scary outfits went from house to house singing and dancing to earn the goody bags, before rushing off to the next place. Some places sent up sparking fireworks as the little ones gazed skywords in awe of it all.
As so we are into the Month of November,the month of the Holy Souls when our thoughts turn to prayers for our dear departed.
