Bonfire night on the 5th November follows fast on the heels of Hallowe’en at the end of October and there are always a few bangs and some stray, early rockets to chase the witches away on their broomsticks.

I usually buy packets of coloured ‘haribo’ sweets, which I keep in a bowl by the door for passing jack o’ lanterns, ghosts and vampires. And I continue to make a Hallowe’en mask from a pumpkin, even though our children are now grown up and flown the nest. Maybe I am at heart superstitious! This year, John was away and I ended up spending the evening alone with a rather evil- eyed head glaring at me. Not the best conversationalist!

He did not visit – so I ate the sweets myself. So tasty!
