Preparations for All Hallow's Eve this year included an elaborate (and frighteningly realistic) hoax of a pair of stuffed trouser legs suggesting a mangled corpse under the truck, in addition to the usual graveyard at the base of the driveway, ghosts in the yard, and seasonal lights on the front of the house (we got "champagne" colour this year, thinking they'd be sort of orange-y for Hallowe'en and OK to leave up for the winter!)... Our neighbourhood is always lots of fun on October 31st as kids come from many parts of the island to see the decorations in Deep Bay and attend the fireworks display at the lagoon afterwards. My Dad used to come over each Hallowe'en since we moved to Bowen, and we were aware of his absence this year but felt he was with us... in spirit!
