"Find a four-leaf clover, Wear it in your shoe, right foot left foot. Either one will do.
It will lead you into luck before the day is through.
"So find a four-leaf clover, and put it to the test. It might work anytime - But Halloween is best!

From Hey-How for Halloween!
Have you ever found a four-leaf clover? I can’t say I have although my dad often did. He always kept one in his wallet and when I passed my driving test, he found one for me and after that, he gave me another each time I renewed my licence. I’ve still got them and if that’s not lucky, I don’t know what is.
I started driving in 1966 when the cost of a licence was 10/- (ten shillings in old British money). By 1968, it rose to 15/- and in 1974 to £1.00. Today it costs £34.00 quite a hike I think you will agree especially when you realise 10/- in 1966 is worth just £8.89 now.
I’m really glad I kept these bits and pieces in a box.
1966 driving licence issued in my maiden name.
1968 driving licence, this was the year the old orange paper-covered licences changed to swanky red ones.
Something else you may have noticed is this note written by my son when he was a small boy. I cried happy tears when he gave it to me and again when I found it the other day. These are some of the most precious kisses I ever received.

Happy Halloween everyone.
The warmer weather has arrived in Australia, and our little granddaughters are making the most of it.

Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents said, "Never take candy from strangers." And then they dressed me up and said, "Go beg for it." I didn't know what to do! I'd knock on people's doors and go, "Trick or treat." "No thank you." Rita Rudner
