leigh, great photo, thanks for the link! Nicky, it's quite easy to make a pumpkin pie, I even have a recipe in the archives, here. But I haven't really seen it for sale. The best I can think of was a pumpkin pie like cupcake at Sonja's Cupcakes several years back, they might have it for the Halloween period... chinachix, yup, the selection is getting better if you know where to look...

Hi – just saw this pic- Robin Upton poses with pumpkins and squashes in his cottage garden in Sussex. In line with this post, thought this group might enjoy seeing it – it’s at https://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/rpSlideshows?articleId=USRTXQ4J2#a=13

I didn’t think I’d say it about pumpkins and squashes, but they all look gorgeous … ;-)

Hi MM! :) Love your blog about Halloween. I have an American bf and he’s been missing pumpkin pie especially since Halloween is just round the corner. Any idea where to get it here in Manila?
Cheers

Hi MM,
I have the same gourds you have altho not as many, and a couple of colored corns. And yes, autumn color is at its peak and just gorgeous. Next Sunday, daylight saving time ends and we will get an extra hour of sleep! And Halloween is coming although, I very seldom get any trick or treaters as we live in the country and neighbor’s children are all grown up. Also, now the malls are offering a safe way for the kids to go trick or treating.Is it the same way back home or in other countries?
