Marrows and Halloween

Perhaps not the greatest thing to teach your kids how to make but we have had so many marrows from our lovely next door neighbour that we were bound to make something alcoholic eventually! So here goes..marrow rum!


We've had so many marrows from our lovely next door neighbour we've had them stuffed, roasted, in juice, soup, chilli, curry! The children have made them into  babies dressing them in baby clothes and pushing them in prams! They make a great alternative to Halloween pumpkins and Jasmine even made one into a Guy for bonfire night!

 

 


We had a fab Halloween making some great food for our Halloween feast like celery zombies and decorated buns!

We're in..

At last we moved in to our amazing new house, the work is ongoing and will probably go on for a long time yet but its all falling in to place. We moved in almost 2 weeks ago now and we've already started to create some memories here.
The surrounding countryside is lovely we've explored a few villages including our own and had a couple of pub lunches and lazy afternoons before we moved in!


There is a lot of farm land around plus woods and walks through the hedgerows its the rural dream we wanted


We met a friendly farmer on one of our walks, the main crops around are wheat, barley, sugar beet and rape seed



The fields look amazing when they have just been ploughed something I had never noticed before



As the house needs a lot of work I've created a seperate blog for it here
