EAST TRENT CHURCHES
|
| A Scarecrow competition was held in the village a week or so before the May Fayre. It was intriguing to see what superb models people had made. They were displayed in front of the makers' houses, and the Memorial Hall, and caused quite a stir in the village. At the Fayre they were all presented on Stocks Hill for the village (and web-site visitors) to see.

Oohhh! Is that a scarecrow mummy? Are they really scary? Well, not really dear, but real ones sometimes scare off crows who eat the carefully sown fields of crops.
Wow! That one looks scary.
'Have people in the village made all these? Have children made them?' 'Yes, with perhaps a little help from their parents.'
Is that a Humpty Dumpty scarecrow? Isn't he super. Let's go and get the Alice story - Through the Looking Glass from the village library - and read all about him.
Here's a colourful little girl scarecrow. She has a lovely doll's tea-set to play with. Is that her mummy in the background? Her mummy's smart, isn't she?
Isn't the girl scarecrow beautiful? Can we play with her tea-set? Better not darling, just tell her you like it and maybe we'll get your tea-set out when we get home. Oh! but it's not nearly so nice as hers. AND, I'm pleased she's not really so scary.
Looks as though the little girl scarecrow is very popular doesn't it? May I touch her dress mummy? Well, we're not supposed to, but maybe on this occasion, if you're careful.
Gosh! He's a splendid looking fellow isn't he? What are the medals he's wearing awarded for? Now what is he going to do with that catapult? I hope he won't do any damage or hurt anyone. No, he's sworn to be careful.
And at the end of a glorious afternoon a big black cloud was spotted coming towards he village. This caused something of a scamper for shelter (or home). The heavens opened and there was a downpour. But the day could not be spoiled, it was so well presented and attended; and everyone enjoyed themselves (and the storm!) immensely.
AND FINALLY -
