I've been having a bit of a sulk! About pumpkins... Today's picture (don't faint I'm actually writing about it, rather than the usual random photo with totally unrelated chunk of prose!) was going to be an arrangement of late summer flowers, rescued from the garden before yesterdays deluge of rain (which is something else I'm sulking about � the house smells of wet dog, there's a huge puddle on the utility room floor (I forgot the skylight was open) & my tumble drier is in meltdown... All very 1st world I know, but I find compounding lots of minor incidents, to be very rewarding when having a strop!) A petulant sulk always feel so much more justified when you have a long list of over dramatised slights to count off! Anyhow, enough with my wet weather woes, back to the story! My flowers were to be faffed inside an ever so cute, mini pumpkin before partaking in a most glam photo shoot & claiming their Insta-glory! But no! I wasn't doing it (see, there's my strop � right there!) because as it turns out, I wouldn't be the 1st, 2nd or even 77th person to have thought of popping a posy in a squash this autumn! Its everywhere, page 26 of Country Living, at least 3 other magazines (which I may have speed browsed to avoid purchasing!) Then there's Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook � Facebook? I ask you, there's rarely a creative sausage on my feed & then, oh yes, there's a gourd with flowers in! Even my Mum's doing one for the church window! What does it matter I hear you say? No two would ever be the same anyway, but la, la, la, fingers in ears (& other assorted childish sulkiness) I wasn't doing it! Full stop. Okay, well after a bit more sulking & a muffin, I might be doing it after all, Well my own take on it anyway! Not like anyone else's! Very different! Better even?! So why are you seeing my blooms in a pot? Why indeed? Well having got over myself (sugar is a great healer), it would seem I've mislaid the pumpkin � truly! Its vanished! I have no idea where it is & after an extensive search, I've conceded defeat (until it starts to smell & then I'll track it by nose!) So instead I give you flowers in a mustard pot, plus a few fir cones as my (non-pumpkin) nod to autumn!
