Pumpkin floatilla event

Hello, it’s Saturday and last night me, my sister, my brother, my sister in law and my mom and stepdad all went to the pumpkin floatilla event in Sarehole mill as i explained in one of my previous posts. What we had to do was we had to carve a pumpkin and then set it on a float around the lake and watch them all pass but that wasn’t all of what we did. We could have hot chocolate and melt marshmallows on the bonfire and there was even a spooky mill tour.

We were on the schedule that had hot chocolate and melted marshmallows first so as soon as we had given in our pumpkin we went straight to the tiny little cafe area and got our hot chocolate and marshmallows, then we walked over to the bonfire and started melting them till they were brown on the outside but warm and gooey on the inside.

After that , we were due to be watching the pumpkins so we got to follow a cutely lit path and stand on the bridge watching them float past. It was really therapeutic and really nice to see.We stayed there for a bit as we weren’t due for the spooky mill tour for a while so then we headed back to the fire.

It was now 8:40 and our turn to go on the spooky mill tour where we got to go inside the mill and actors told us stories of either how they died or how the mill was a dangerous place. Once that was over we headed back in the taxi reflecting on the great evening we had had.

  1. Lovely blog as always, thanks for sharing. A pumpkin flotilla sounds like a real spectacle! I have a little boy and hope that he does all these lovely things when he’s old enough.
