Sick of the Pumpkin, this year I have rekindled the art of making the "Norky Lamp"!As you can see in the pic, a Norky (or Narky) is a turnip or swede, basically the same principal as pumpkin lamp, but more steeped in history, sorta relevant to Ireland, Scotland and Northern England.
GOOGLE it and look it up, I dunno much about links and all that carry-on yet!
Harkening back to a time of traipsing round the local vicinity, with your newly made lamp, knocking on neighbours doors and asking "Penny for the lamp?", not actually selling" ya lamp, but a type of art based door-to-door begging!
And hopefully at end of evening would have enough money for comics & sweets, or a refill of amarillo sherry and a couple of tabs (ciggies)!
