Autumn

Autumn arrived at last.

I like Autumn. I like the colours it presents us with.
Typical of the Autumn colours are pumpkins.
At the moment you can buy pumpkins of all sorts and sizes, at roadside stalls all over the countryside.
Some of them can be eaten, others are best used for decoration.
If you care to eat them, you can cut them into chunks and pickle them. You can cut them into chunks and boil them to be eaten as vegetables or - my favourite - you can chop them up small and make soup with them, spiced with ginger and garlic and blended with cream.

Warning! When removing the rind - keep your fingers out of the way!!
