  • Hi Jayne, beautiful album of scarecrows. I enjoyed looking at each picture and noticing how well they were done. It is the best season for photography, there is so much color and interesting things to capture. Susan

  • Hi Jayne, We loved the scarecrow weekend photo's, particularly the clown as he was OUR scarecrow! we are emigrating to New Zealand at the end of August, so we will miss out on the 10th anniversary weekend. Perhaps we can set something similar up in NZ in the future and link up! To anyone who has not visited Belbroughton Scarecrow weekend, what are you waiting for? It's a delightful family day out and the weather is usually kind too! 23rd & 24th September 2006.

  • Hi Jayne. Is that you in front of the door in the "The Sign Above the Door Says "Watch the Birdie" picture?. Nice to see the humorous touch in this picture. Jim, Portadown.

  • hello and thanks for sharing this album, my question would be if you made these scarecrows or just took pictures, my husband and myself run a pumpkin patch in the united states and would love to ask a few questions about the sunflower one. We would love to have one as large as that one but was wondering what materials were used in making them, if you did not make them then we still appreciate very much that you shared them online, God Bless you this day, Barbara Watkins my email is hiddenvalleyfarm@sbcgloba l.net

  • Dear Jayne, WOW this is just so much fun only in an English village could this happen and lots of people have a great sense of humour with their scarecrows it must have been a real hoot to visit. I loved the morris dancers too, always good fun to watch. Thank you so much for you kind words in my GB I'm glad you liked the pictures. You take care now Hugs Jill

  • Hi Jayne! Pleased I stopped by and found this bright and cheerful album. A Scarecrow Extravaganza is a wonderful idea and the people of Belbroughton are so creative to make these delightful characters. They are all so cute and each has its own beauty. Thanks for sharing.. Gladys, Western Australia.

  • Hi Jayne, Wow, I am still laughing about all those wonderful ideas for a scarecrow! This Osama bin Raven looks much too friendly, I think and the unemployed guy looks very happy too! I would choose the Cricketer: looks scary but not too scary! Jayne thanks for your nice compliments in my album of Zinnias and bees. You are very kind! Yoav will get your gentle cuddle in a minute, they are just on their way to visit me. Lots of love and a hug from Galit

  • Hi Jayne, my goodness when do you ever stop, your albums just keep getting better and better, you don't fine this sort of thing in the big Cities, only in the countryside, which is where I am much happier, It seems that every album I view these days are so good, I think that we all learn something from each other, great album great photogharpher, well done your East Anglian pal Ken dare I xx

  • Hi again Jayne great set of photos, a snapshot of village life! You would not get a w/e like this in a big city would you. There was the same thing in a village next to us the other week but I was too busy to go. My bad news is, I lost a complete album on my computer the other day. My good news is, upgrade to premium is through, so frantically trying to catch up! One of the new albums has something you might like! Eric

  • Hello Jayne Well... normally I hate scarecrows! But... when I saw a few of these & especially Little Miss Muffet! I fell in love with her! Also love the cottage photo near the end. Leave it to you to always find something beautiful & interesting to snap a picture of! Great work friend Hugs till Later.....Kathryn

  • Hi Jayne, what a fabulous album. Lots of colour and looks like you had a great time. I have never heard of this event - what a great idea. I love them all. Thanks for sharing. Cheer...Chris QLD Australia :o)

  • Hi Jayne - what fun! This reminds me of the Pumpkin People Festival in Kentville, Nova Scotia; they hold it every fall. ... 'Co-Co the Clown' is a real fence-sitter! 'Fosters Lager' must be some stuff! The 'Dancing Scarecrow Performers' and the 'Morris Dancers' are certainly unique. Ever the teacher - you've imparted lots for us to learn here, Jayne - thanks a lot! Hugs, Judy

  • Hi Jayne! Great additions - they are all so creative. And I'm very glad to hear you beat the Aussies. We learned a lot about cricket on our last trip and had been following the Ashes tournament but never found out how it finally finished. Hurray! Love, Beth

  • Hi Jayne, I loved them all but think the Don't drink & Fly is a catchy one. We are starting to get our Halloween contest ready as when I went down town today I saw the merchants putting up their contributions. I will get out with camera in hand when there are a few more of a selection. It is great to see how other countries celebrate their festive occasions. Love 'n hugs Janet

  • Heathro Scareport is funny....Love the Gone To The Pub sign. Great additions to your Scarecrow Extrvanganza. This should be a feature. L

  • What a lovely album, Jayne. This village has lots of creative people. I had so much fun looking at these pictures. They are all cute in their own way, so I could not pick one as my favourite. Which one were picked out by the jury? Thanks for sharing, I have lot of catching up to do regarding viewing your albums. I am sorry that it took a while before I had the time to visit you, but due to the many reactions I got on being featured, I could not get to you sooner. I did appreciate your reaction on the Autumn Delight album very much. In the meantime I also added a new album, the Last Days of Summer, at this site(evanwely). So if you have some time left over……. Friendly greetings, Els (wely246/evanwely)

  • Hi Jayne , my fav is Don't Drink and Fly, I think it's really cute, they all are, but that one catches your eye. Luv 'n' Hugs Chris and Jay

  • Hi Jayne! Delightful album - they are all darling. I think I have to vote for Elvis, though, as my favorite. After all, he is the King. I'm so happy you made this album because Gr####ington was getting ready for a scarecrow contest just as we were leaving, so we weren't able to see them there. Have a great week, and thank you so much for adding me to your favorites. I am honored. With love and hugs, Beth
