With all of Vala’s Pumpkin Patch signs and features now complete it was finally time to take them out of the shop in readiness for shipment next week. We decided to take the pumpkin coach for a little spin. If you are wondering where you might take a pumpkin coach for a test drive the answer is obvious…. the castle at the Hazelnut Inn. We hooked up the riding mower to the hitch and I jumped in the driver’s seat. Although the crew was betting heavily against me the little electric mower easily got things rolling. We drove up the 350 feet driveway, out the gate, and over to the Inn next door. As we had assumed, the colourful wagon looked perfectly at home in front of the castle gate. The only thing missing was a princess.
