Don't cast a clout till May is out!

What a beautiful weekend. The Hawthorn, or May, is in bloom everywhere to greet the hotter weather. The cowslips and bluebells, which enjoy the gentler sunshine or dappled shade, are nearly finished so we can enjoy the different seasons and greet each event as it happens. The air is full of wonderful scents and the mistle thrushes are busy feeding their young.

Scarecrow festival

Our village green committee have asked everyone to join in the fun again by creating scarecrows for the theme "Scarecrows in occupation". There are some excellent examples; we particularly like the group entry for the local pub. This is our modest attempt.
