Thanks John. Yes, keeping too busy with work. I am nearing retirement age. and have been trying for the psat two years to cut back to not working Fridays. So far, it hasn’t been working. But I do get out from time to time to do the photography. That work-life balance is challenging when you’re self-employed. 😉

Hi Tim, good to hear from you and many thanks for this. I think it’s true to say that Halloween is much bigger here than it ever was when I was young! I can’t deny a healthy degree of cycnicism as it seems to be more about where profits can be made than anything else but it’s definitely become a big part of my daughter’s annual events calendar and it would be a bit churlish of me not to join in! My favourite part of it though is always the visit to the pumpkin field (and carving it too!)
Hope all’s well with you?

I was picturing the sloppy mud from your description. Glad you got to do your traditional pumpkin hunt. I am looking forward to more of your paintings.

Hope your Halloween was fun!
