…Out here in the wilds of Southwold, Halloween is like every other day.

Say what you like, it’s really just all about the candy! …
There’s nothing quite like being part of a morning show to bring out the kid in you.  We kicked Halloween up a notch in several different ways.  First, we posed as a rock trio that’s about to perform here. …
We did the usual: stayed in the back of the house with the lights out! …
The back-to-school flyers are arriving in the mail. The dollar stores have several aisles filled with Halloween merchandise. Someone put their big, fat finger on the fast-forward button of life again and I want to have a serious word with them. …
