[News] Trick or Treat?

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

First year that we've grown our own pumpkin but given that I've just gone down with Covid it's going to be a bit high risk for any kids lured to our door!

Bit of a risk you say? One of these will keep the little one's away!

Just the usual TC traditions;

I’ve cut out some articles from The Guardian that might be of interest to the kids, those go in sealed envelopes for the element of surprise and I make those available to any child who makes a donation to Extinction Rebellion on the iPad I have set up on the porch.
Then for any child who’s parents have lived in the area for 5+ yrs it’s the usual choice of either baked barley and beetroot crisps or rhubarb and fennel cordial.
For those that have less than five years on the clock I make a donation to our kick-starter project to relocate to Chile where we’d like to try and persuade indigenous bandits to stop cutting trees down.

Happy Halloween everyone!

We seem to have this discussion every year, but to everyone saying it's an Americanism imported in recent years, we used to do Trick or Treat in the early 70's in Haywards Heath with many other, separate, groups of local kids. More active than nowadays, I'd say.

I grew up in a busy part of Brighton and as a kid in the 70s no kids around our way did trick or treat, we did penny for the Guy, not knocking doors though.
My first memory of any kids doing trick or treating where I lived in Brighton was around 1983.
The kids in Newhaven seem to love Halloween, when I first moved here in 2001 I couldn’t believe how many kids knocked on the door, I see homes decorated with Halloween stuff in early October.
