Sweeties

For the children in our street. Most of them are preschool and babies. I love to see them. I don’t buy anything with animal products in them, even if it’s not for us, so I was pleased to find sweeties that were ‘accidentally’ vegan and made by Matlocks in Derbyshire. Skittles don’t have gelatine either.
Hallowe’en nowadays is just a way for big companies to make lots of money on plastic tat that ends up in landfill. All the costumes and plastic stuff will end up in landfill as they can’t be recycled. They won’t rot away either. Such a waste and polluters. There isn’t a thought for what it is really about.
That is, remembering our passed loved ones.
When I was little it was an evening for remembering our loved ones and telling ghost stories around the fire.
We had to go to Tesco this morning to do a big shop.
I can’t believe how much the prices go up each week. I really don’t know how people on a low income manage to feed themselves and their families.
I spent the afternoon doing some art.
Now I’m very tired, so goodnight Blippers :-) X
