Halloween

Maybe Halloween dates back to the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, More often it is linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain. The name meant "summer's end"

Lots of preparations in the shops. My rant is the fast growing prevalence of CHRISTMAS stuff! Before Halloween for goodness sake! I can feel my bah-humbug coming on!

I hope that today's blip actually appears, and no more mysterious, spooky disappearances in cyber space.
