I think that is what all about. Maybe hyjacked by our colonial cousins? I
was in California this time last year and it was huge. Now we go in fear and
trembling (in deepest Essex) of having flour or eggs thrown at the house. I
am armed this year......I have loads of sweets and we will treat.... because
that is the way it is going.
Got to keep up haven't we?
