Ha...I do like the way you match pictures to words! Halloween is a rather sad thing in England, but we couldn't do without our jack o'lanterns! My little daughter carved up three . . .

A pretty poem to go with it.You should sing it by the fireside to keep the witches off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-27453719565184067232008-11-01T07:36:00.000+01:002008-11-01T07:36:00.000+01:00Thanks all.

I hope you all had a suitably spooky time.<BR/><BR/>Even Tom, who sees my need to make a pumpkin light at Halloween as a somewhat pointless bit of whimsy, was rather taken with his ears, That's the shape the cutter of the potato peeper makes left to its own devices.
