The children in the kindergarten were preparing for Martin Day eagerly for a long while with jack-o'-lanterns and self-made lamps, with songs and histories; the parents with saulty biscuits, bread and dripping with onion on top, roasted pumpkin, mulled wine and hot tea... What choice morsels! We have prepared cheesy twisted fingers with bacon inside.
The following evening I was to participate in a so-called lock party where the female participants got a lock, the male participants got a key and could try whether the key opened the lock... At first it sounds a bit bizarre, but to tell you the truth, the idea itself is genius, the brilliant opportunity to engage in conversation is given accordingly. I think this was the first and the last time I visited such a place inspite of the good impression made on me. Lock party checked off.
