Every September one our local villages, Charnock Richard, holds a scarecrow festival. Every year that the children have been home it has been bucketing down with rain for the festival weekend. This weekend the weather has been glorious, so we finally got the opportunity to take the children to see the scarecrows.
Some people themed their scarecrows around children’s characters:
Postman Pat
Red Riding Hood
Denis the Menace and Gnasher
Tintin and Snowy
Oscar the Grouch
Our friends from Toy Story
We also saw some favourite films:
The Great Escape
Superman
War Horse
Local Olympian Bradley Wiggins even made an appearance:
We had a lovely day, capped off at the end by the opportunity to sit in a real fire engine:
Sunday afternoons don’t get much better than that!
and the huge smiles on those two adorable little faces show that they had a great time too x
They had a blast! It was so much fun.
I want the superman one for my garden and we don’t have crows! Then again perhaps the girls would do the honours ….. oops better not :oi))
That’s hilarious! You would need the very odd wig though. I ushered my two past The Great Escape very quickly. They really don’t need any ideas! 😉
