Great fun for adults and children at the Pumpkin Patch farm and ice cream shop in Barnet, North London.

Mock graves.

They have pumpkins in wheelbarrows, mock graves with legs sticking out, mock skeletons playing guitars.

And funny little orange hats for children and adults.

Their website lists their regular ice cream flavours which include bubblegum, lemon meringue, rum and raisin, What - no pumpkin flavour?

What can you do with a pumpkin? Cut it out for a lantern.

The Halloween effects at the farm in Barnet are available the last two weeks of October until Hallowe'en (with the original apostrophe for evening) at the end of the month. However, you can enjoy the ice creams all year. See their website for updates.

Toastmasters clubs worldwide will be celebrating Halloween as their theme for this weekend, in 2022, Oct 21 (Friday) to Oct 23 Sunday, as well as Diwali (also called Deepawali); and Friday Oct 28th, Sat 29th, Sunday 30th and Monday 31st.. Whether or not you are a member of a toastmasters club, you are welcome at most of the public clubs.

Finally, to make a pumpkin hat, use a round orange bathing cap. If you do not want to spoil it by drawing on it or cutting it or sewing on byes and so on, stick or pin on a pumpkin face.
