No idea about pumpkin compies. You'll have to Google or keep an eye on the local press. Failing that you'll have to content yourself to the A4A virtual lotty show ;D
thanks, googled and googled and got all sorts of rubbish!!!
Will keep eye on press etc nothing so far....... :'(
isn't there a pumpkin festival at slindon in west sussex?
perhaps they have a competition?
Just rung them, they have fest but not comp but they said they would ring us if they find out anything....
andy - how's scooby ?
cuddly last night funny tonight!
Keeps telling me to Shhhh!
tearing apart half a cucumber as I type!
Preparing him for his first holiday with strangers!
I will have to ring him every night and talk to him.......! :D
Can't you take him with you ;D It's like going on hol and leaving the kids behind ;D
Its really difficult but could take him and get him his sea legs for a week! The problem is security on the boat when we pop to the pub for grub in the evening! :-[
Would be a good laugh if we took him in his transportable cat box each evening though! :D
Are you leaving him in the house on his own or is someone staying with him or going to stay at someone's house? I ask this as when my ma went on hol she thought it best to leave her beloved cockatiel in the house (less disturbance for him she thought) It didn't work! He pined on his own and I went to see him one day (as I did daily) and he was in the bottom of the cage and one of his wings was hanging limply by his side :( I was terrified he'd broken it! Rushed off to find a vet that was on duty in the evening and she gave him a tonic (he drank it right up bless him) She said that he was depressed because he'd been left and was getting no stimulation so I took him home with me, gave him a fly out etc and he was absolutely fine. It was a real scare though so we made sure he was never left alone after that :)
Scooby was great with friends.
Big pumpkin got rotten bit on it and smaller one catching it up!
Still no sign of any localish competitions :-\
Glad to hear your pet was happy with friends :)
