...is the Eve of All Souls, 31 October, the following day being All Souls' Day. In my first year in Italy, I was startled to be told that 1 November was "Il Giorno dei Morti" - The Day of the Dead. Until a few years ago, Hallowe'en was moreorless unknown in Britain, outside of the Christian calendar. Now it has been hyped and commercialised, so that pumpkins and dressing up and "trick and treat" are now as familiar to our youngsters as they are in the States.All of which is an excuse to post photographs of the San Diegan munchkins in all their Hallowe'en finery: the twins, Harry and Kiki, holding a suitable cat; and Sophie, the Sarah Bernhardt de nos jours, kitted out as, I am told, a mermaid.
Go on, indulge me, let the Old Scrote have his proud grandpa moment!

You have good reason to be proud. They're a fine bunch.
And every one pure 100% American!
Thanks d~
Thank you, IALE. The twins are, of course, not identical. In fact, you wouldn't think they WERE twins, Harry being so big and beefy, and Kiki being so tiny and willowy. And Sophie is not just a princess, she is a Queen!
