It's difficult finding appropriate transport to the Ball isn't it? Your gown or tails get caught in the doors of an everyday kinda car and those bloody tiaras scrape the low roof, not to mention the difficulty chaps have with their long, shiny swords! Well, here's the answer: I'm offering you the chance of owning your very own coach, (pre-spell of course.)
Just contact your very own Fairy Godmother, pick up several white mice, a rat and whooosh..... your very own coach, white horses and a footman. You'll be off to the ball in a jiffy.... well not actually a jiffy, more accurately a pumpkin! Not just any old pumpkin either, (Marks and Spencer advertisement voice please...)
this is an organic pumpkin,
grown by the hands of Lou Archer in a walled garden:
An Archers at The Larches pumpkin.
Ooooooooo!

What a fine specimen! I think that bad boy has my name on it. Why don't you just cut out the 'it's a competition' crap and just mail it to me directly? I promise to make a nutritious soup out of the innards to feed the poor of this parish.

Cheers!
I'm in! I'm feeling quite princessy!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun giveaway! love it :)
ReplyDeleteI think if our postman had his way it would be pumpkin soup by the time it got to us. Howabout a nice kickaround the sorting office, boys..?
ReplyDeleteWe would do bad things to it. We always do bad things to pumpkins at Halloween. Things to make children cry. Then the carvey things get taken away. Hopefully this year BEFORE they are embedded in a small boys head. They're only going to let me have a spoon from now on. Still, in for a penny......
ReplyDeleteI take it you have a very big envelope?
Good lord I hope you have magic powers of transportation to ship that...ship! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI may have to plant pumpkins next summer, the chooks here looove them!
Beautiful harvest :)
Any way you could outfit that pumpkin with wings or a sail for a trip to the U.S.? I'd be the only one in my homogeneous, suburban, tract house neighborhood with a genuine, British pumpkin. What a way to stand out and make an impression!
ReplyDeletenotwavingbutironing: Dear Soup Dragon, unless you're offering a HUGE financial bribe I'm sticking to the competition!
ReplyDeletenatural selection: 'Veteran follower'.... I like the sound of THAT! It's as if The Archers at The Larches has always existed.... cool. I may wear a posh gown for the pulling of name from (top) hat, though hubby said he's not wearing black tie! (Boo Hiss. No fun)
'Cross the Pond:

Big Mamma Frog: They'd better not play keepy-uppy with my blood, sweat and toil....btw, I'll wipe the blood and sweat off before I send it!
MadamSmokinGun: Don't worry, if you win I'll liquidise it before I send! The postman'll think it's a hot water bottle inside one of them there bubble wrap envelopes.
Technodoll: Any time, any place, anywhere.... I'm the pumpkin pusher.... Oh hang on I think customs and excise are at the door with those nice people from the DEA!!!

ReplyDeleteI only hope it will turn into a coach with a LOT of headroom as my tiara is outrageously large ...
