Halloween is not something that I usually celebrate and it’s not even known over here however Courtney was visiting Paul for the weekend and we came up with the wonderful idea of making pumpkin lights. Sadly we didn’t have pumpkins so we had to make do with incredibly small butter nut squashes!
It was quite tricky given their size and I was very pleased with my efforts (Courtney did several all of which were very impressive but as an American she had an unfair advantage in that she’s been celebrating Halloween and carving pumpkins from a very early age)!!
The whole process took about half an hour (including taking pictures) and that was the end of the Halloween celebrations. Oh how I missed the kids knocking on my door asking for sweets in return for not vandalising my processions!

These are ace. It's useful you described the scale as one imagines they are bigger. Well done you on the creative front! We got trick or treaters this year (had none before). Think it's accepted if you have a kid, other parents on the street send their kids to your door!
