Woop, woop! ย It's Friday and - for the kids and the young at heart - also Halloween! ย The weather in Copenhagen is perfect for a spooky night: our clocks went back on Sunday so it's twilight by 5pm, there's a real chill in the air and it's not really raining but just damp.

Halloween – boo! Not boo hoo!
I'm getting our Halloween things ready today and tomorrow because I don't want to be running around on Monday afternoon when it's pitch dark (yes, folks, our clocks go back on Sunday night).

Crafty Tuesday – Halloween 1
Halloween is a fairly new tradition in Denmark but it's getting bigger (read => commercial) all the time. But my kids certainly enjoy all the spooky crafts that they do at the afterschool club and, of course, Halloween night when they go out 'guising'. Here are a couple of food ideas to get the Halloween… Continue reading Crafty Tuesday – Halloween 1
