Gill had bought a witch’s hat from Asda (aka Wallmart) when we were in the UK and I wore this and all black clothes to school. I suppose I looked like Harry Potter’s teacher. The people I passed in the streets either didn’t notice or were somewhat confused. Halloween is a new holiday in Georgia, recently imported from America and many adults are unfamiliar with it. However, the children have taken to it. There was a “party” at #6 school. Balloons and other decorations were put up. Pumpkins had been carved and they were placed in a circle in the hallway.
My hat was temporarily adopted by Keti, the school’s director, and some of the children had made costumes – mostly the girls.
