I can see the scarecrow's the one on the left, are you the one on the right matron?

If my son wasn't in his best clothes it would be very difficult to tell them apart! This was taken at the Eden Project.

I have just acquired myself a scarecrow...well, I'll have him after the garden walkabout this Sunday the 28th, he's currently wearing a wedding suit and top hat, but I'll be adapting his clothing sightly and putting him on the plot...pics to follow

Didnt know about this post. finished our scarecrow today and thought i would search and look at other peoples before adding his, I searched and came up with this post.

The children have named him Mr. Tom

He has scared fellow plot holders to death but the birds seem to love him   

[matron]

He's brilliant Beetroot queen. I would keep an eye on him though as you may find his clothes going walkabout as they look in good condition.

Hubby used them when we used to show the ponnies but we dont keep horse now so they came straight from his wardrobe lol 

I will get up there one afternoon and he will be naked

I've shown our ponies before (Shetlands) but why is there such emphasis placed on what the 'shower' is wearing than the pony itself.  The rules for this are as bad as showing an onion in a show!
