Halloween 2021

A normal Halloween!  It was so nice to see all the kiddies out and enjoying themselves last night.  The weather was clear and not very cold.  Cheryl and Dave invited us for dinner and her home made beef and barley stew was amazing.  She took out beef tenderloin instead of stewing beef!  It was REALLY good!

There were so many houses decorated in their neighbourhood.  People really went to a lot of trouble.  


Last year there were very few children because of COVID.  This year she had 101 in the first thirty minutes!   They slowed down and she ended up with 241.  Cheryl buys chips and full size chocolate bars.  Most children said thank you and a few actually said "please could I have and named one of the chocolate bars she had".  Lots of the parents were dressed up too!


To social distance, Cheryl slide the bars down the table and the kids caught them in their bags!

A little blurry.  The kids don't stay long!

Great costumes this year
Surrey has a fireworks ban.  We've had it for a few years.  You can get a permit with a fee and a lot of trouble.  I doubt the fireworks I saw had a permit, but they were very nice.  They didn't go off too late maybe because it was a Sunday.  

I don't usually post pictures of people I know, but this was on Facebook.  I loved the costumes!
