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

  8. A marvellous scarecrow. Very clever of you. I'd love one in my garden to keep the pigeons off the lettuce.

    Hi 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?
