I was surprised at the relative lack of pumpkins around Halloween-time in England. In the states they're EVERYWHERE, huge piles of them in all the supermarkets. I guess the Halloween tradition just isn't as strong here -- and in the states we do love our gourds.
Hey, pumpkins are gourds too! We had a deficit here in New Jersey this year and I've not seen any around for sale. Hurricane Irene pretty much took care of all the squashy-gourd-like crops. Very sad. Love the pumpkin photo with "The Knoll". Is that someone's estate?

I love the connection, pumpkin-wise I mean, between Brooklyn and Cotswolds. They don't look so different in these photos!
