Ha ha you have come across the Scarecrow week! even your village had one a few weeks ago.. great Monday post Oh dear they do look like some people I know! tee he
Hahaha. Scarecrow week? If those things don't have candy inside 'em then this will never compete with good old Halloween-except for maybe that scary one at the end. I can't remember the Wicker Man story but I know just enough to feel nervous when you correlate it with the picture. YEEK!! :)
Scarecrow week? Has the crow population Smallville decreased since the new folks have come out? And is the first one a member of the town council (she appears to be wearing a sash that suggests that)? Very interesting folks you have there :)
Shan: The Wicker Man story is hidden in the depths of my archives and will hopefully stay there and never see the light of day again.
Neetzy: hahahahahaha. I'm glad my neighbours aren't quite so scary.
Ms.M: I must confess I've not noticed any decrease in the crow population, probably because the Smallville High Street is not the most effective place to position scarecrows.
Katie: I had never heard of Scarecrow Week until mum told me about it. Apparently my own village had one, too, but I didn't notice; probably because the folk round here pretty much look like that anyway.
Setting fire to things and saying "oooh" is primal. It's why candle-makers are still in business when we have more practical light bulbs. It's why we have this.
I must confess that rural England has its charms, Petrea, though they're pretty hard to see through all this rain. At least the leaves should be turning gold soon and the feast of glorious autumnal food is upon us. Yay!
Meet the locals.
These fine folk have been appearing in the high street just lately.

The what?
Whose dumb idea was Sccarecrow Week? I thought they were real locals.

The lady scarecrows are quite fashionable. I love the pinks and the tiger stripes! The male looks like my neighbor.

That should read: "Has the crow population of Smallville decreased since the new folks have come out".
What a riot! Very amusing and these outfits are great. Now I'm wondering about the history of Scarecrow Week. Ok not really.

You and your quaint customs. All we have is shopping cart and abandoned couch week.
Hee hee, Vanda.
Oh god, this is just so awful. People need jobs so they don't have to spend their time being creative.
Quaint. Parochial. Nice. :))
Vanda: ooooh, I'd love a shopping cart and a new couch, especially one that behaves with abandon.
Petrea: this is an improvement on our usual cultural events (setting fire to something and standing around going 'Ooooooh').
Mme: Weird, archaic and unsettling more like.

Hoorah for Burning Man! That's one event I've been itching to attend for years.
I went in 1996. It was wild even then, and it's grown. I think once was enough for me. I'd love it if it were smaller.
Woah, cool, Petrea! I am so jealous.
Well, we're even then. I'm jealous of you that you get to live in England and wander around in pretty villages.
