Males such as Worzel Gummidge usually predominate among scarecrows but a lady has made an appearance among the 50 entries for the annual Dyke Scarecrow Festival in which villagers were asked to leave their creations at the front gate in readiness for judging this weekend. This one is the work of Andrea Bloor who lives in Main Street where she spent several hours building it from a charity ball gown, a pole and wire frame, a lampshade, a pillow and some straw. “Women can be scarecrows just as much as the men”, she explained.
