Scarecrows 2019 Part 1.


Captain Hook trying very hard not to fall into the crocodile's mouth!

Hoping that this blog will make some people smile in these troubled times of the spreading Corona Virus which is affecting so many people and countries the World over.

One of the blogs I never got round to writing last year! Every two years the village of Wingham, near Canterbury in Kent put on an amazing Scarecrow trail, last year the display was in July. The theme last year was Pantomime Characters. My friend and I had a really lovely afternoon walking round the village and seeing all the amazing scarecrows :)


Pantomime horse and Dame :)


Donald Trump a pantomime character?? I will leave this one to your imagination.......


Red Riding Hood's real Grandmother :)


Priscilla Goose - the goose that laid the golden eggs....


One golden egg, hidden in the garden, this one is not hatched yet....


Ah ha, another golden egg found, this one has hatched and is full of gold coins :)


Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, these scarecrows were made by the children of the village school :)


The Pied Piper of Hamelin, and the children following his music, made by the Tiny Tots and Messy Friday children :)


Jack and the Beanstalk.....


....and the Giant who lives at the top of the Beanstalk :)

Scarecrows 2019 Part 2

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.



Snow White and Dopey :)

There were a lot of scarecrows depicting Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs so I thought they could have a blog of their own :)


This is Doc, he tries keep control of the other dwarves


Grumpy, even grumpier than usual because his beer has all gone!


Sleepy, he just can't keep those eyes open ....


....Sleepy again in bed with his nightcap on  zzzzzzzzzzz


Happy :)


Sneezy, with his sign showing a very high pollen count :)


Bashful hiding in the bushes :)


Mirror, mirror on the Wall, who is the fairest of them all?


The Queen disguised as an old hag, ready to give Snow White the poisoned apple...


Snow White eats the poisoned apple and falls asleep - in this case on top of  hedge....


Prince Florian finds Snow White and kisses her dislodging the piece of poisoned apple, so she wakes up, falls in love with him, and as we all know, 
They Live Happily Ever After 

We had a great time visiting all the Scarecrows, I hope these two blogs have helped some of you to forget about the virus just for a few minutes, and made you smile. My friend and I certainly did smile and we are both looking forward to the next Scarecrow Trail in this lovely little village.

Look after yourselves everyone :)
