Urchfont Scarecrow Festival 2013


This year's scarecrow festival was excellent, the theme was Singers which my husband excelled at, we think we may have got all 53 of them correct, but won't know until the end of the bank holiday weekend when they publish the answers.

When we went a couple of years ago in 2011 Charlie was almost one, so although he liked being in the buggy and walking around the village he didn't really appreciate the scarecrows. This year we didn't take a buggy and he walked/was carried which meant he could spot and run up to the scarecrows. He was pretty good, though we had a lot of tears when he fell off the curb and grazed his hand. Grandad bought him a toy scarecrow which he loved, and got v upset when we lost it on the walk, Grandad kindly bought him another one, and there was no pulling the wool over this boy's eyes, even though it looked exactly the same, he knew it wasn't the same one!

David Bowie was the most extravagant, but I also really liked Liam Gallagher, Bob Dylan and Johnny Rotten. The weather was wonderfully sunny, so warm we could get an ice cream and lots of beautiful blue sky to help make the photos look great.
