Family across the road went off to the pumpkin farm near our village, and posted lots of pictures on Facebook of the four of them wheeling wheelbarrows choc-a-bloc with huge pumpkins. They'll no doubt be decorating their front garden with their carved pumpkins lit by candles.
Husband always used to remark each year that this was an appalling waste of good food, which would have fed an entire African village! Fortunately (?) my shepherdess neighbours will take the pumpkins away to feed their animals at their Sanctuary once Halloween is over.
