    They sound fab, thanks everyone for your ideas! I know my dad will like the savoury ones..I'm particularly liking the idea of the sweet ones, esp with cinnamon and nutmeg. I also found this recipe which I'm hoping to try out

    Honey-Roasted Nuts
    Yield: 6 cups
    6 cups peanuts, pecans, almonds, cashews, walnuts, or mixed nuts (any combination)
    1/2 cup honey
    1/3 cup margarine
    1 tsp. cinnamon
    1 tsp. salt (if using unsalted nuts)

    Melt together honey and margarine. Pour over nuts and mix.

    Spread mixture on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with seasonings.

    Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring several times, until golden.

    Spread mixture onto waxed paper and cool completely.

    Break nuts apart and store in an airtight container.

    I like the sound of the honey one, quite similar to Rasmus' this one. Also found this for pumpkin seeds:

    Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

    Wash the seeds and pat them dry.
    Soak for about an hour in soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce (you might want to try a batch of each just to see which you like better).
    Sprinkle w/ garlic powder if desired
    roast on cookie sheet @ low heat 225-250°. After 1/2 hr, turn the seeds over and continue roasting for another 1/2 - 1 hr. Test by biting into one - they're done when they're crunchy.
    Some variations, soak in butter instead of the soy or wooster sauce. Sprinkle with a few Italian spices - oregano for instance. Experiment until you find a flavor you like!

    I think this recipe is based on seeds straight from the pumpkin, hence the long cooking times to allow them to dry out.

    Sounds like I might have to test a few before I decide which to give him, lol! Only polite innit...........:p
