Here's a wee photo of us all dressed up for Halloween. Morningside always has a big turnout for trick or treating. Hordes of kids take part and loads of people around the neighbourhood decorate their houses and dress up for handing out the sweets. Hermann manned our gate dressed in a skull mask while we did the rounds collecting our booty. I certainly wouldn't advise wearing a polyester gimp mask in 30 degree heat again - it was absolutely roasting!
Halloween isn't widely celebrated here in SA, so Benedicta's kids had never encountered a pumpkin before and weren't entirely sure what they had to do with witches and ghosts (who does know?). Nevertheless, the dressing up and legitimite begging for sweets was greeted with loads of enthusiasm. The kids got loads of sweets - far too many to eat in one go. Gugu announced that she was going to sell her surplus (entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Waterloo) and as Anya is too young for sweets we have been helping dispose of hers!
