I think he might go for that. After the season, we'll sell him off to the local theatre as part of the Oz props department :) Cid Miles,

Personally I fancy a scarecrow.... who shall I model it on? I'm the scariest person I know so perhaps it could be a self portrait :) Cid Miles,

It has occurred to me lately that next year's crop of garden greens ought to be grown close to bird feeders to keep the pests off. Although the snail numbers always seem high, this year perhaps not quite as high since the black birds have moved in. Making sure the summer feeders were full has definitely given rise to more bird activity in my garden. Cid Miles,
