                                                                                            On one of those seemingly endless rainy days I was feeling fed up and miserable
                                                                                            and  I  just  wanted  something  to  make  me  smile.    Trawling  the  website  I  found
                                                                                            some  pictures  of  the  previous  village  scarecrows  and  it  was  like  a  light  bulb
                                                                                            moment. Why not do them again.
                                                                                            I  thought  about  Easter.   We were  still going to be  in lockdown  but  given  good
                                                                                            weather  the  villagers  would  be  able  to  get  out  for  walks  and  hopefully  the
                                                                                            scarecrows would make them smile as well.  I floated the idea with a few people
                                                                                            and got some positive response.
                                                                                            In fact the response was wonderful and we had 14 addresses where scarecrows
                                                                                            could be found.  I got around to all of them and I must say there are some very
                                                                                            clever and inventive people in our village and I thank them for all their hard work
                                                                                            and for taking part.  Importantly for making me smile.
                                                                                            I am hoping that we could make this an annual event so get your thinking caps
                                                                                            on for next year.
