Our village has organised another "trail" round the front gardens. Earlier in the year we had spot the rainbows, followed by displays of scarecrows over a weekend. This week (for about 10 days) it is front garden Halloween displays. Encourages families out for a LONG walk over half term as well as the making with the kids.
My contribution has been growing and selling half a dozen pumpkins at the gate!
Donations to School Meals appeal fund.
Advertised by a local business and families.
No officials or councils involved!
People power.
Let's just hope that the village idiots who took peoples pumpkins off doorsteps last year and smashed them in the roads are "cowed" into being a bit more socially conscious this year. That would be a great outcome for our anti social behaviour problem!
Well done on the school meals thing Trish, it makes my blood boil when the MPs have given themselves a pay rise and have no conscience about letting kids starve. I love it when local people pull together.
ReplyDeleteThere will always be the odd village idiot. Wonder if their parents know what they are up to. I'm presuming it is kids?
ReplyDeleteGood for you raising money for such a worthwhile cause.
ReplyDeleteThe front yards look wonderful.
God bless.
