Friday Bench: With Wallace
The Gromit Unleashed trail in Bristol is providing a lot of free fun and laugher in Bristol this summer and it was the perfect excuse to meet up with my Girls Night Out friends recently. We started off as colleagues 26 years ago, and now are firm friends, though it's rare to find so many of us together these days. Here we are with Wallace providing a stand-in for our one missing group member. This photo makes me so happy! The trail comprises 53 various Wallaces, Gromits, Feathers McGraw and Norbots spread over a wide area in and around Bristol with a few extra surprises along the way such as the roving labybird Gromit and a few items hidden around the Museum. It's great fun and don't we look fab!
Good crop - anyone would think you were in the US!
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen - they did go a bit mad this year. I shall be looking to our American blogging pals for recipes ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, they're wonderful. Well done you. And they'll make a lovely autumn display.
ReplyDeleteHi CJ - this was going to be my post for Halloween, but I found something rather marvellous to show you instead whilst in Wales last week!
DeleteThey look good, what variety are they. I grew a mini variety one year but haven't since. Perhaps next year. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteHi Flighty - they're Jack be Little and the size is perfect for us. I'm going to try and recreate a fab squash salad I had at the Yeo Valley Organic Garden a couple of weeks ago.
DeleteMy Nepalese allotment neighbour wants to try this variety next year too!
Lovely display have a good rest of week and weekend
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, you too
ReplyDeleteNow that's a seriously good haul and the purple really enhances their golden glow VP. Flighty took the words out of my mouth asking about which variety they are,
ReplyDeleteHi Anna, I love the smaller squash - perfect for just NAH and me :)
DeleteVery colourful. Guess they are the ones that were rampant!
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed!
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color!

Thanks Lea - BB it's Salad Days tomorrow :)
DeleteHah that should be NB - Damn autocorrect!
DeleteLovely photo and good harvest. I have never attempted growing squash, haven’t really got the right garden for it but I like eating them :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Helene - I hope to feature them in a seasonal recipe soon :)
