Hallowe'en (for that is the correct spelling) has always been a special day in my household. We always settle down to watch spooky programmes and films, and sometimes we even turn Hallowe'en into Hallowe'ek, and watch scary stuff all week.
But one thing I've never done is carve my own pumpkin - until this year! We bought two for £3 in Asda and decided upon a traditionally toothless grimace design for beginners. How people manage all those extravagant and intricate designs is beyond me.
Pumpkins are messy veggies - stringyness and seeds and gloop. But, as simple as it is, I'm really pleased with Mr Pumpkinhead, so the trouble was all worth it (and the pumpkin and chestnut soup will make it even more worthwhile, I'm sure!).
