Thanks to Ruth for getting in touch about this great event on Sunday 25th February 2024 from 1-4pm held at the AFRIL allotment of refuge at One Tree Hill Allotments SE23 3NP. It looks well interesting, there’s a bit of a seed swap, a free vegan lunch, a tour of the garden and at 2.30pm talks, a workshop and a Q&A session. It’s free and more details and tickets can be obtained here. Thanks for letting us know Ruth!

And this is a pic of a scarecrow at One Tree Allotments from a couple of years ago. We think that the coat has been changed for a yellow one now but it is still there and still creeps us out when we’re passing by. It’s those hands placed casually in the pockets that does it.

Scaring crows (and parakeets, squirrels, pigeons etc.)

Stevyn from Iron Feather Journal was the first one to suggest us getting a scarecrow and now we’re seriously considering it. Here’s our favourite local one at One Tree Hill Allotments. Very scarey indeed! It’s those hands in the pockets and the WW2 metal helmet that does it for us.

It has been rumoured that on a full moon it walks down to Honor Oak Park train station for a wander on the platforms looking for a chocolate machine. Send us your favourite scarecrow pics (No pictures of Jon Pertwee please) and we’ll post them up.
