549. Standing up for ancient traditions

31 October 2005

Being the traditionalist that I am, my Hallowe'en lanterns will always be made out of turnips.

Read about the Scottish and Irish Hallowe'en tradition, and how it is being usurped by the invading pumpkin!


Last year I met a wise man

What a fine toothy grin. The turnips here are a bit small and pasty-faced for this.

Yes, where do you find turnips large enough. Makes an interesting abstract jack o lantern though.

I love it. Yes, I shall read about it. I am just wondering the size of the turnip used.
