Gloucestershire in Pictures: Pumpkins and landmarks

Amid chilly nights and crisp days it's been a week full of autumnal joys in Gloucestershire, including a ginormous pumpkin.

Here's a round-up of our favourite photo's across the county the week.

The size of that: Graham Barratt, from Gloucester, is hoping his 362kg (800lb) pumpkin will squash the opposition at the Giant Veg National Championship at the Malvern Autumn Show. He has already set multiple world records for giant vegetables.

Look who's back: Louis Rees-Zammit of Bristol Bears could be seen in action during the Premiere Rugby Cup match between Gloucester Rugby and Bristol Bears at Kingsholm Stadium last week. Louis was previously a Gloucester Rugby player.

Gorgeous settings: We love this photo of Linda Marsh and Gardeners' World presenter Rachel de Thame in Linda's garden in Cheltenham. Linda Marsh is an ex-commercial airline pilot and this is her beautiful garden at The Stables.

Our beautiful landmarks: A huge thank you to our weather watcher this week, 'viewfinder', who sent in this photo of Gloucester Cathedral looking powerful in the cool, blue sky.

A great initiative: Life-saving equipment and education has been rolled out in 30 schools as part of a trial, thanks to community funding provided by the team behind the A417 Missing Link scheme. It's part of a wider commitment to give back to local areas with an aim of providing invaluable lifesaving education and equipment to 571 schools across Gloucester, Bath and North East Somerset, and Bristol.

Early sunshine: A lovely shot of an early morning sunrise in Frampton on Severn was another one of our favourite photos this week. Thank you to weather watcher, 'Space Walker', for sharing this gorgeous autumnal scene with us.
