Pumpkins

On Sunday it felt like the first day of Autumn. 
Finally. 
Cold start which eventuated 
into a beautiful day.

Perfect for the annual Pumpkin Festival at Hamilton Gardens. 

I love this event. Very kiwi. Very chilled out.
Iris wore a pumpkin suit and was photographed by a lot of people. She quite liked it.

SERIOUSLY I will be dreaming about this pumpkin soup and rewena (maori bread) until next year. Such a good $3 worth. Perfect.








Rock on Hamilton.
Happy Days indeed.

This is so awesome! And what a cute little pumpkin you have. I've always wanted to go to one but the hubby finds those kind of things boring.

Looks great! I so need to be more aware of what's going on in Hamilton. Been here 9 yrs and still haven't seen the xmas lights at Temple view, nor the night glow or the pumpkin festival....nuffink, no nuffink at all! Sigh that the thing when you have a Lifesentence Block :D Iris looks the bees knees :D

That pumpkin train! So cute. Also, we have been mobbed by the 'paparazzi' at the gardens too - for nothing more than my daughter's blonde curly hair! It was mental! They mobbed us and followed us around and terrified the poor child.

Iris looks so cute in her pumpkin suit. Doesn't she look tiny standing next to the person on the stilts. That pumpkin in the last photo is huge.

That looks like loads of fun! I do love pumpkin soup or having it in curries in India. Sadly Jon, like most Brits, loathes it, silly boy! x
