Uphill Village Scarecrow 2009
Another year, another scarecrow festival! Another lovely time had by all, this year we decided to get involved and make our own scarecrow. The theme this year was people from history, so we decided to make His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie I. King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
Anyway, the head was made from Papier Mache and painted with acrylic paint, suit was courtesy of the Weston Hospice Shop and the tights were mine!
We don’t live in Uphill Village, we live on the council estate round the corner ; ) so we smuggled Haile Selassie into the village on Saturday morning and placed him strategicaly under a tree by the nursing home. Then on Sunday we brought him home again.

A Day at the Uphill Village Scarecrow Festival
After a late night (and a few too many babychams!) me and the kids headed off to our local village, Uphill, where they were having a Scarecrow Festival. We were met by the sight of the Mr Men in a field, well done to year one and two children from Uphill Primary School for those!
If you would like to take a look at the photos we took click on images in the menu, or if you cant be bothered to go all the way over there, click here instead!
We trodded around the village, meeting loads of familiar faces along the way and finally being invited in to St Nicholas Church for a Cream Tea, lovely! I would like to say thank you to all the staff at the church who made the day an exceptionally good one, providing hot tea and squash for the children and magnificent home made scones with clotted cream and jam, mmmm. And they put it all on for free making the day a truly great one. We will definitately be going back next Sunday at 10.30am as they are having a family harvest service, looking forward to that!
P.S. I would just like to point out that the kids didn’t have any babychams!
