Scarecrows and local customs!




Back when I was a kid (a while ago) scarecrows were found in fields. The idea was that they would keep birds away from eating what was intended for others. Round here though they seem to be a town phenomenon and Sunday afternoon was spent inspecting them. Sure enough they were all over, lurking in front windows, attached to lamposts, on the roof of a shop and in the park. The local supermarket even had its own black cat!
