0:26:24 > 0:26:29- It was a new experience - to train with a dog...
0:26:29 > 0:26:36- ..instead of my white stick - which made me feel isolated.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Having Georgie gave me - the confidence to visit new towns...
0:26:45 > 0:26:52- ..which can be difficult due to - the people and other obstructions.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45- She's just like any other dog - when she isn't working...
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- ..and enjoys playing with her toys.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- It's important that she has time - to be a dog too.

0:34:04 > 0:34:12- The pumpkin is associated - with this festival but why?

0:34:38 > 0:34:45- In America, they discovered pumpkins - which were much easier to carve.
0:34:45 > 0:34:52- You could put a candle in the middle - to give a sinister light.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- It's the time - when they are harvested and sold.

0:35:13 > 0:35:20- Three years ago, we had - a great summer that was very sunny.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26- I grew one that was heavier - than two sacks of potatoes.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- What is that in stone?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- What is that in stone?- - It's eight stone.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- That's only - a few stone lighter than me!

0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Last year in Aberglasney, - she did really well...

0:35:54 > 0:35:58- I've had my day!
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- This is the winner - and this one was second this year.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Do you like their flavour?- - No, not really.
0:36:33 > 0:36:39- I grow them - because I have great satisfaction...
0:36:40 > 0:36:46- ..in seeing a tiny seed grow into - this big pumpkin in seven months.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Mr Griffiths - doesn't like its flavour...
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- ..but Alison has an idea for - something sweet using pumpkin...
0:36:54 > 0:37:01- ..and there's plenty at Hendrewennol - Farm in the Vale of Glamorgan.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06- Four in ten people buy pumpkins - at this time of year...
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- ..and waste 65% of the pumpkin - but you can use it for cooking.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- Start with 175ml of sunflower oil - in a bowl.
0:37:18 > 0:37:27- Add 175g of brown sugar - and three eggs and Daf can mix it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28- Haven't you got a machine?

0:37:31 > 0:37:34- That's perfect so you can - take out the wooden spoon.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39- I've got 200g - of finely grated pumpkin.
0:37:39 > 0:37:46- It doesn't have to be this fine as - you can chop it up before adding it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Next, mix in currants or sultanas...
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- ..before adding - 200g of self-raising flour...
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- ..and a teaspoon of ginger, - baking powder and vanilla.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Grate in some orange zest and - pour the batter into paper cases.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07- Bake for 20 minutes at 180C or gas - mark 4 and decorate as you please.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13- That's how you make - a simple pumpkin cake.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- There's no excuse to waste - that lovely flesh.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- We won't waste these so - let's dive in and thank you, Alison.
