I was on the Apostoles 30yo Cortado Sherry this weekend, with the few bottles of Wyre's Piddle in the Hole ale for good measure.

What ya fink of our pumpkin?

Edit- Image removed.


We placed a cystal light inside which changed colour every few seconds, the effect was incredible in the dark, very spooky...

The insides helped make a very nice pumpkin & leek soup.

We live on quite a few parallels GK, even though we don't have our kids here anymore, not since 2003 or so, we still carry-on the tradition. Your daughter looks very happy with the cutting out work :)
We had one the same size with three of those garden lantern candles inside, and local kids knocking on the door, but the last ones atl 10:30. I sent them away with sweets, when they said they were collecting money for charity - Duh ! Trick or Treat you lot :(

The proper kids came from 6:30 till 7:30 shortly after dark, sometimes with parents who waited on the pavement

Yesterday, we enjoyed wonderful creamy pupmkin soup made by Misses D for lunch as well as homemade Rye bred with carraway this time, and my 3yr grandson loved the pumpkin in the porch.

I cracked a fireside Haut Medoc 2003, that my 28yr daughter decided that she liked, even though she said she wasn't drinking, cos of Friday's party indulgence - Funny how they like the proper wines, even from age 21 or so :roll:

I dare say that this was one of my finer efforts 8)

I have found a way of linking images from my facebook account without leaving a direct link.

Watch out, I can now show you countless images of my allotment plot.... :D

Choose an image from one of your albums, right-click on it (when open, not as a thumb), copy address, paste as normal.

Dont use the link that facebook provides at the bottom of the page, this will link to the photo but also to your name / friend list, ect. It wont allow people to view your profile though. The above method appears to link to the storage address only, with no link to the owner.

I have now removed the image, it was simply to show you the pumpkin.
