I used to go out and avoid it but several young families have moved into
the street over the past few years and it would be churlish not to hand
them treats.
The trouble is that one can never predict numbers. They have varied from
10 - 70+ in usually cold weather. Tonight was very mild - ideal for the
younger kids.
