I’ll admit, picking my Halloween pumpkin from a pumpkin patch seemed like a bizarre addition to my 30 Before 30 list. But Halloween is my favourite time of year and I’ve always wanted to visit one of those sprawling pumpkin patches you see all over Instagram at this time of year. When I lived in the UK I’d pick my pumpkin out of a plastic crate at Asda and in Bahrain the one and only pumpkin I could find fit snugly in the palm of my hand.
