Halloween - Turnip carving

Dad and Harry took a trip to Omas house to try and carve a Turnip.  Before Pumpkins were on the scene, turnips were used for lanterns.  Dad was sure that turnips were larger back in his childhood.  Harry helped cutting and gouging out the inside but Dad took the sharp knife for the fine carving.  Turned out well.  One lesson, always remember to put a few holes in the lid :-)
