Halloween: in England, preparations have begun
Halloween: in England, preparations have begun – (France 2)
Children may ask for even more candy than usual, because Tuesday, October 31, will be Halloween. In England, preparations have begun. Reporting.
Flying skeletons, spiders several meters high, and strings of pumpkins: for Halloween, the wealthy neighborhoods of London (United Kingdom) are transformed into a kingdom of excess. The British are determined to show that they have nothing to envy of their American cousins, and tourists are of the same opinion. “In France, we’re not really used to carved pumpkins, all these flowers, even the cabins are decorated”marvels a young Frenchman.
Always more impressive
A bit eccentric obviously, always bigger, always more impressive. “It’s always fun to scare children, just a little obviously”, estimates a Londoner. Some even take the Halloween madness even further, by calling on professional decorators. These are eccentricities that follow codes and even fashions.
