A few hours ago - about 21:00 - I had to nip down to the local shop to pick up a few essentials.
Halloween isn't a huge thing here - we save our celebrations for the 5th, but the kids do love getting dressed up for parties. Since it is a school night, the parties ended early enough for a normal bed time.
I round the corner to see a tiny witch dancing like no one was watching. She was going all out, to the music coming from a house, while her friends cheered her on and her mother (we know each other in passing) watched from the doorway. Can't be more than about 7 years old, the lot of them. She saw me and stopped dead. Smiled at me and said "Trick or Treat?"
That was my treat for the evening.

She got my chocolate bar though. Fair trade.
