    On the outskirts of my town and in nearby Villages they put Mannequins at their garden gates, sitting on benches at crossroads etc at certain times during the year.....I've given up waving to them in friendlyness as they never wave back.:heehee:

      Would that be the Wrensbury Scarecrow festival mentioned above?

      hessian fleece bought, we are going to try and cover her so that we can retain a growing medium in place and plants can be grown out of it, like a hanging basket / wall tub type of approach.

      Well, I think that's the origin of it all, Simon. But it seems to have spread over Cheshire into surrounding Villages and the outskirts of some towns.........I like it, as some of the way they're dressed is quite hilarious.:heehee:
