All Hallows' Eve

Some people love Halloween and some people don't, but the residents and staff who choose to get stuck in work really hard at all our homes where there will be fun and games, sweets and treats. The word Halloween is a shortening of All Hallow's Eve where Hallows are saints and All Hallows' Day is dedicated to remembering the dead including the Saints/Hallows, martyrs and all the faithful departed.  In this photo Jean, our regular Vlogger at Manor Cottage (see the Manor Cottage facebook page) is shopping for her costume for the competition at Manor Cottage.
