Happy Halloween!

Are any of you doing anything for Halloween?

Guess what.  My dad surprised me and ordered candy corn from a special store that sells a lot of American foods.   I've always wanted to try that.  It tastes a bit weird, but I like it.   Have you guys ever had it?   Anyway, that was the surprise he was talking about the other day.   He knows I like my sugar.

Maybe one day he'll order me some Peeps!

On top of the candy corn, they were selling candy floss in town.   Here they call it fairy floss.   I think that's cute.   Anyway, we bought some.   I'm not in sugar overload though, because I had only a little bit of each.   

One day I'd like to go to America and have a proper Halloween.   I heard they get really into it over there.  My mum says that's their culture, and we have our culture; blah, blah, blah.

Julia says Hogwarts had a big Halloween feast.  Maybe Halloween is a big deal with wizards?   Is it?   Anyway, I wish I could have gone to one.   
 
Our American friend Daphne had a Halloween party once.   That was fun.   We wore costumes and ate cupcakes with black cats on them.   She had decorations and we watched Poltergeist.   We tried to go trick or treating, but few people answered their doors.  

I better run.  My mum wants me to help her make treacle toffee.   More sugar!!!!

Happy Halloween!

P.S-Time seems to be going by so fast lately.   I don't know why.
