Gosh, a bit more upmarket than the scarecows made from old clothes and straw (Worzel Gummidge).

A marvellous scarecrow. Very clever of you. I'd love one in my garden to keep the pigeons off the lettuce.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, I had completely forgotten about you; do you still come to Fridge Soup? I just saw your name in the cooks' column and came over to refresh my memory. A fellow Salopian, how could i forget. Would you also remind me where in Shropshire you are? South, North, the hills, round the meres?
That's really good
ReplyDeleteMiC said you ought to call him 'Isaiah' Hehe
ReplyDeleteVery impressed :0) He also wants to know if anybody's lost a wheelbarrow down the allotment?
