Scarecrow Pt2

So the excitement continues...

Yesterday's masterpiece collapsed by late afternoon. We tried stuffing some bin bags with newspaper inside to pad it out but the weight of the gluey newspaper was too much for our internal framework.

Luckily, my Mum (the one who washed her hands of the whole business) had made a suggestion before she went out. It is true - mothers do indeed know everything, so following her previously ignored advice we went on to plan B.

Unfortunately it was still a little soggy this morning when Dad brought it back out again so minor repairs were needed - but done this time with a great deal of care and much less paste ;-)

My Godmother also came round for tea clutching a bag of clothes for our scarecrow - it would seem that my NOT AT ALL INVOLVED Mum had been making phone calls...
