It originated as a harvest festival.’ Its practices include expressing gratitude, sharing, giving Countryside 12 away and (occasionally) even forgiving the turkey. Home & Garden 18 October is the month of harvest suppers, usually in the Churches and Women’s Institutes. This month, by an accident of timing, we are celebrating 10 years of Local History 20 publication with this our 100th edition.
