I even asked in one of the supermarkets and was told that they now only stock what they know they will sell so that there are none left over. I was determined not to make that mistake again.<\/p>\n<p>This year I have been waiting for the pumpkins to appear in the shops and yesterday was the first time I saw them. They were on offer: \u00a0two large ones for \u00a33.00. I thought this was a bargain and bought two for the girls. They will not miss out this year!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6086\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/pumpkins_for_the_girls.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6086\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6086\" alt=\"Pumpkins for the girls\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/pumpkins_for_the_girls.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/pumpkins_for_the_girls.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/pumpkins_for_the_girls-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6086\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pumpkins for the girls<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We are snowed under with work at the moment but when I get a bit of time at the weekend I will give the girls their first chunk of pumpkin and be ready with my camera.
