Even in the local nursing home in Southampton, the witches came
out to celebrate Hallowe'en.
While they don't go out 'trick or treating', they remember very well
what it was like and it was different from today. It was about
home-made treats like fudge, candy apples and other treats. Today,
however, everything is bought at stores and nothing is eaten that
isn't sealed.
Today, however, the residents in Southampton's care centre bobbed
for apples and pinned the 'tail on the donkey' the way they used to.
It doesn't seem to matter how old you are, Hallowe'en is for all
ages.

on the Donkey'

Two mothers of two Town Councillors met for the first time,
coincidentally, sitting beside each other as their children do at
council meetings. Neither knew each other before the Halloween
celebration. Left is Jeryl Frosst (mother of Taun Frosst) and beside her
is Helen Huber (mother of Diane Huber)
