There are scarecrows, and there are scarecrows that give it a bit of the old razzle dazzle

A scarecrow in a metal arch on an allotment. ‘She’ has spotty trousers, a flowery blouse, long hair made of straw, orange heart-shaped sunglasses, and a headband and is arranged to look like she’s dancing

Not mine. Belongs to someone with an allotment on the same site as She Who Is Not Called Mrs Coates does

Actually, I’m not sure that’s razzle dazzle. It might be a bit more hello trees hello sky

This one graced one of the allotments at Kingston Lacey in Dorset a few years ago…

A silvery mannequin with red lips and long grey hair, dressed in a grey jacket over a long grey dress with silver highlights stands under a fleecy “cloud” from which silvery chains representing rain hang down. Around her are lush green vegetable plants and above is a somewhat overcast sky.
