Well I didn't know very much about pumpkins before, in fact we didn't 'do' Halloween as much as some of the other festivals in the year but I am very into Samhain now and am fully embracing Halloween magic with my children so thank you for all of these tips. Loved this and love your longer posts too xx
Pumpkins / Halloween celebrations are a recent discovery for me too! And that’s very kind re: the longer posts, thank you, especially as the next one (Halloween / Samhain) is turning into an epic post 😆 it’s all quite new to me and I’m finding out some really interesting stuff so it’s packed full. Stay tuned!
I love your wonderful long posts! Please don’t shorten them!! So much fascinating information. I am so happy that I found you on this late October day in New England as the spookiest day approaches. ❤️
That is so kind, thank you! My next post is actually turning out to be quite long after all, as November is packed with interesting and weird folklore and facts, so I'm reluctant to cut it down at all! That one will definitely be a long read 😁 Have a lovely day
That is such a kind thing to say, thank you! So pleased you like the folklore too, that's my favourite bit to write each month. As for that turnip though... genuinely gave me nightmares 😂
That was a great read and thanks for the recipes. I don’t think your previous posts were too long Vickie.
Ah, Thanks JP! That's good to know, especially as the next one on Halloween traditions is turning into a monster of a post 😆
Can’t wait! 🤣🤣
I agree with JP. I haven't found your posts too long at all! I always enjoy them. The pumpkin lists were great fun! Thank you!
That's so kind thank you! I really appreciate it ☺️
I read all the way through! I don't mind if you have a long post.
I do love pumpkin season and I love what you wrote about with the tradition and folklore.
Thank you.
That's very kind, thank you! So glad you love pumpkin season too ☺️

I always wondered where the Jsck-o-lantern tradition came from! And that pumpkin and choc chip recipe sounds delicious 😋
Terrifying turnips and a man named Jack! That recipe is top of my list too... 🎃

Looking forward eagerly to your next post!
Love love love reading your words and especially always the folklore bits! That turnip is very terrifying!!!! Thank you for your energy xx

Love the name "Stingy Jack"! And thank heaven for the pumpkin switch, imagine turnip spice lattes 🤢
Doesn't have quite the same ring to it does it! 😂
I love this so much! Pumpkins make me so happy- to look at, to grow, to eat- and it was great to learn more about the traditions around them.
Ah, that's lovely to hear, I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. Pumpkin season is the best! ☺️
We always used "neeps" as they are known here in Angus, when I was a child... pumpkins are far easier to carve!
Ooh did you? I love that! But yes, it does sound like a lot of hard work. Can see why everyone swapped them for pumpkins at the earliest chance!
