Orange Squash..

Yesterday's Marché Fermier Marché Gourmet at Chaveignes included an exhibition of squashes grown locally. The colours were wonderful and the shapes intruiging..
 

There were a number of displays but this arrangement, by three children from the school in Champigny sur Veude, showed lots of imagination...

As if we weren't all 'squashed' out, we went from here up to the Chateau du Rivau, where again the squashes were out in force...

Full marks to this one for its size..

And these for the most unusual shape and texture..

This display showed the different varieties labelled...

So, two minutes to commit to memory then we'll start testing.... Your time starts now!
ps. This also tests your eyesight!
