Miskin Scarecrow Festival

Miskin had it's first scarecrow festival today.

In the grounds of St David's Church, the local people of Miskin brought along their wonderful creations...including us. We entered a very scary Rebecca Brooks scarecrow which we had great fun making with Richard and Leanne on Thursday night. Here's Steve putting the finishing touches to her  lovely red hair:

Thank goodness she's out of our house, she was terrifying us every time we went into the spare room!

Here are some other entries:
