WHAT I MISS IN CORONA TIMES - PUMPKIN FESTIVALS

What I miss most during these Corona times, is that we are not only can't travel outside the country, but also all yearly festivities or festivals were cancelled.

Each year we used to go to pumpkin festivals in the little towns or villages here around. It was always a lot of fun and you could buy local home made jam, or honey and all kind of plates made with pumpkins.

This year there was nothing, also these events take always place outside. But as the participants are not sure if people will come, it was just cancelled everywhere, we we could look at pumpkins on TV or go through old pictures !

This was one from last year which took place on a weekend beginning of October.

  1. A bright and sunny day too by the look of it. Pumpkins are very interesting in so many ways. We eat our fair share of pumpkin here but when we served it to my partner's visiting English father, he said 'I am not eating pig food'.

  2. They could have organised it here: people would have come and it would have been busy as well. Especially outside.
