Pumpkins. by happypat

Pumpkins.

Our little vegetable shop in the village has this lovely display of pumpkins all ready to carve.

Three good things:
1. A good brisk walk in the lovely sunshine.
2. No pain in my knees ...just a year ago I started with knee problems but after injections in both I have had no problem for eight months!
3. The last of the home grown cabbage.
what a cute little shop Pat - I love this tie of year with the Pumpkins everywhere! Now what was that injection you had and can I get one for my hip???

@sparkle Cortisone Juliette & it worked a treat. I am sure I damaged my knees doing Callanetics so resting & an injection did the trick...I have only walked for exercise since & it's never been a bit of trouble since ...touch wood. The injection didn't work for Harry though.

Love the pumpkin colour against the white shop.

Great little shop - glad to see that the mighty Tesco has not defeated them! I enjoyed seeing your pumpkins, too...

A lovely display and I love the name of the shop!

A great shot of a piece of undefeated rural England.

The little veg shop, how gorgeous is this? We have nothing in our village except a phone box and post box! Quite fancy opening a shot like this myself.

D-----m wrote & lost it !! What a delightful country store --so clean & bright looking !! Love the display outside with the bright orange pumpkins in contrast to the shop frontage ! This is lovely Pat and reminds me of my mum's village stores at home as a child

Lovely colours - pumpkins and bricks. Good news on the knee. Looks like you might miss the storm - might have to postpone my visit to my mum on Monday - might have to take food parcels as they will be right in line - and my sister has a Gatwick flight planned - oh joy...

A lovely, homely image! Lovely little shop. Think I might benefit from a jab in my ankle if it's that good!

Ah cute shop. So much more interesting than a supermarket.
October 24th, 2013  
What a good display! Love the whole scene!

A beautiful display. So inviting.

@judithg Storm on Monday.....must batten down the hatches then...must have missed that on the news!! Hope it misses the UK.

What a lovely little shop. It's so nice seeing village shops. We used to run a fruit and veg shop many moons ago when we were first married. I remember that it's really hard work and I was very fit after humping 55lb sacks of potatoes around all day. Great news about your knee.

I don't put a vegie shop in my mind, to look like this! Antiques, yes! Good to see. Those injections don't work on some so good to know they were right for you! Walking is now known to be the best exercise!

Lovely local shop ..... pity there aren't more of them around. Fab shot :)
October 24th, 2013  
@happypat You might have to send food parcels from up north!! We won't get the worst of it I don't think but my mum and sister will - and @quietpurplehaze and @humphreyhippo on the south coast.
October 24th, 2013  
@judithg No mention of the storm up here, must be a southern thing. Will be on stand by to bail you out!!

Now is the time, and I think the Grandkids may be doing that this weekend

What a delightful looking shop. Very inviting

Such a lovely looking shop - so well cared for and inviting.
October 25th, 2013  
I love the local, individual shops - how about taking the shopkeeper next time you go in!!!
October 25th, 2013  
What a great little shop! Just the sort of place I would love to visit!
October 25th, 2013  
Another great shop shot. Love the White paint against the brickwork. Great colourful pumpkin display.

beautiful pat, are they expecting a rush on pumpkins...and didn't we used to do 'turnips' not 'pumpkins' as youngsters :
October 25th, 2013  
@phil_howcroft Turnips were so much harder to carve too ....not sure about the rush , I don't think we British bother that much with Halloween do we? Not much goes on up in this part of the world anyway...might get a few of the kids in the lane trick or treating....must get some sweets in!
October 25th, 2013  
I think I would be a twice weekly visitor to this quaint vegetable shop. It looks delightful!
So glad to read that your knees have been pain free, Pat...that certainly makes life sweeter!

What a lovely looking independent shop. I have a passionate dislike of the homogenous globalisation of the old British High St, so it is always refreshing to see something that bucks the trend. Long may it remain.
