A Scarecrow festival....

     .....in the village of Elford only about 15 miles from home.

     There was about 90 of them, hidden or set out all around the village.  you were supposed to pick your favourite 3....impossible.

    These were some of my top 20....ish.
       Cream teas, sandwiches BBQ and cakes were been sold in the streets, and even the parish church took part.

    It is one of the prettiest little churches, all tiled and colours everywhere, as well as a large congregation of scarecrows.

     Might even copy this idea to smarten up an under-dressed little tree by my conservatory.

    Not sure it would have been Sara's idea of an afternoon walk as some of them were a bit scary, watching you when you least expected them......

     There is also a large walled garden by the church, that was when the rain started, and it was full of people and excited children, so it is a perfect place to go back to on a warm quiet September afternoon when all around is quiet!
