WalkingSquares: pumpkins at the palace
A walk in the other direction from the canal took us through the Botanic Gardens yesterday. The pumpkins in front of the Kibble Palace glasshouse are part of GlasGLOW, an annual light event which starts before Halloween and runs through Bonfire Night and a couple of weeks beyond. They have been carved by local schools and community groups.

what fun, and see many are painted too. Hope though they are put to good use afterwards

Given the event is about 3 weeks I expect they will have composted themselves by then!

Bah! American rubbish! Should be Scottish turnips. Much harder to carve out and less showy. Makes better soup and no mushy waste afterwards. Good for feeding sheep and wildlife as well :o)

I don’t think they would look very attractive in this context – and they stink!

I like the pumpkin display, they must look lovely all lit up. Here in one of the huge Manchester parks we will soon have Lightopia which is similar to your GlasGlow – I’d love to go but it’s a bit out of the way for me to get to.

Ah well, GlasGLOW is just about 10 mins walk from us – though we haven’t been yet. Too much going on!

Hi. Pumpkin beers are fairly popular in the States this time of year. Is that true too in your country?

I don’t know of any, though pumpkin lattes are heavily advertised. The very idea gives me the dry boak, as we would say here! Not keen on milky things anyway, but that sounds revolting.

I’ve had pumpkin beers from several breweries. Some I like more than others.

It is. We haven’t been this year, but in other years they have all looked great lit up at night.
