but I thought this news (below) a nice one to share!
Ozzy Osbourne 'prince of pumpkins' mosaic created
An Ozzy Osbourne-inspired pumpkin mosaic has been created using 10,000 squashes.
Thomas Nelson, director of Sunnyfields Farm in Totton, Hampshire, UK, said it took 16 people four-and-a-half hours to create.
The annual artwork marks the start of the farm's immersive Pumpkin Time event that runs from 4 until 31 October.
Mr Nelson said they asked members of the public to choose the muse for this year's display and the Prince of Darkness received the majority of the votes.
Founded by Mr Nelson's parents in 1990, the farm has shown off its pyramid display for the past 10 years and entered the record books in 2023 for the largest mosaic created from squashes.
"We do like to reflect some sort of national pride or culture figure," Mr Nelson said.
"It's always risky when you do someone's face."
But he was relieved that it turned out better than he had initially thought.
"We are well drilled now," he added.
The Black Sabbath frontman, credited with inventing heavy metal, died aged 76 in July 2025.
