Pumpkin Time by phil_sandford

Pumpkin Time

Spent the entire morning sat in a car dealership reading a Richard Sharpe novel whilst Carole’s car was getting serviced and having a ‘knocking noise’ investigated and remedied.

Took a circuitous route around Lincoln to get home, avoiding the Saturday car park known as the A46 around the city, and saw this field of pumpkins; a quick 3 point turn and a 10 minute delays, I took this. It’s a very recent thing over here, hollowing out pumpkins for Halloween, it’s been imported from the states, certainly wasn’t a thing when I was a kid.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.
Ooh you man of taste! Love the Sharpe novels.
Wow, a whole field of pumpkins and you are not in America?? Amazing.

Love it! You've made me want to go out to a pumpkin patch - but too smoky here so I will make do enjoying your fabulous shot!

You missed the fun part. Much more fun as a kid. Most of our traditions came from your way, although I have to admit I was stopped cold when I was in London during the Christmas holiday and a child went tearing past me yelling “Father Christmas”....when clearly it was Santa Claus he was running toward.

That's a lot of pumpkins! I'm expecting less knocks on the door this year. Every cloud...

@rjb71 Absolutely. We’ll prob put a bucket of sweets outside the front door and just let them take them.

Wow that's a lot of pumpkins. Wonder if they will be used for Halloween this year with Covid around.

Luckily Halloween isn't such a big thing out here and I suspect even less this year.
