Robin Upton’s Pumpkin House, made of assorted squash and pumpkins
It’s Friday and I’m still grossed out by Lindsay Lohan’s meth teeth, so let’s hop across the pond for a little Halloween fun.
This is Robin Upton’s one-of-a-kind pumpkin and squash rooftop display at Slindon Pumpkins in Slindon, West Sussex.
Robin Upton (below), a Sussex farmer, has decided to celebrate the harvest season by erecting a 16 foot-tall wacky house of pumpkins in memory of his late father. Depicting a rural scene of veggies in a wheelbarrow sitting in the rolling English countryside the “Pumpkin House” of Slindon in West Sussex is made from over 700 yellow squashes, green marrows, and orange pumpkins. Now Ralph’s son, retired farmer, Robin Upton, 65, from Slindon has taken on the mantle. Ralph called on the local community to donate enough squashes to carry on the tradition of his father to build a pumpkin house each year, and attract visitors to this forgotten corner of rural Britain.
Anyone else see the resemblance here?
