Web Slinger Scares Crows!

The August Bank Holiday saw the return of the annual village scare crow competition, so on Sat the boats got left in the shed for a change. Last year we did a rather cool 'waterfall kayaker' hucking his hay of or CK Towers tool shed. This year we considered a straw-filled sea kayaker, and a couple of tilly-hatted, checked shirted open boating beardies, but after a few trial with hoisting the boats it was decided that the shed wasn't really up to the job (it's never really recovered from having a Dagger Maba danging off it) so it was time for a fresh approach. After a bit of head scratching Mrs S settled on a kid pleasing Spiderman effort. A bit of stitching, a lot of hay, some garden netting and some precarious ladder action and it was all done. Didn't win a prize, but as predicted, the local nippers loved it.
