  I was channel hopping this morning and there was some brilliant pumpkin carving on BBC1 Breakfast the man did recognisable images of Bill and Louise, I should think it must have been about 8.30 if it is on iPlayer.

  The roasted pumpkin soup with melted Gruyere sounds lovely, will try it !
  
  Good luck Reg with all your pumpkins - don't forget to save some seed for next year.

  I saw those carvings Jan, I was amazed at the skill of that artist - especially when they dimmed the lights, it was brilliant.
