Last night we attended the Pumpkin Party at the allotment. There are a few events each year to raise money for the allotment society, but we hadn't been to this one before. We had the most fun.
All of the children were dressed up in Halloween costumes. There were loads of giant pumpkins for the children to carve, although they were so huge it was mostly all the dads stood around with carving knives, whilst the children stomped through the puddles. The children had a lovely time running around and playing together, whilst the bonfire was lit.
When the bonfire got going we had hot dogs and pumpkin soup, with loads of treats doing the rounds, and there were plenty of fireworks going off nearby that we could watch as well. We all sat around the bonfire and enjoyed the company. Fortunately the weather was fairly mild and lovely and dry, so we stayed until the end. I had made some cupcakes and jellies, as well as a raffle prize, so we rescued the tray. We had a slight trauma in that we had parked by our allotment, and it was slightly tricky to find our way out in the pitch black with little windy paths to navigate, but we managed with no damage to property or veg patch. And then needed a revitalising hot chocolate when we got in to defrost slightly. A very seasonal good time had by all. xxx
