We didn't celebrate Halloween at all. Fifty years ago in Yorkshire, in the North of England we only knew about apple bobbing because we saw it in the movies.

One year my sister wanted to make a turnip lantern, I think because they had been told about them at school, and our mum was scandalised at the thought of wasting good food.

Now - Bonfire night, that was when the whole row got together and had a fire and fireworks, toffee apples, baked potatoes, hot pies and pease pudding - that was always a big event.
