Cumbria in Bloom

I have had a busy week getting the Artful Garden and my allotment shipshape for the visit of the Cumbria in Bloom judges on Wednesday afternoon. The visit went well. This is some of the artwork that they could view.

I made some giant poppies to decorate my Cumbria in Bloom sign and put a blue cornflower on the back of the sign.

All the scarecrows have been to health farms, hairdressers and some have been on the toning tables. All have had serious makeovers ready to soak up the summer sunshine.
Charlie Barley has been to the gym and as a consequence is looking more trim. Looby Loo likes her new chair in the garden as she is no longer sitting next to Bobby Barley who used to tease her. 
Just doing a few exercises to limber up. Looby Loo you should try it.

Crazy Maisie finds the sun too bright hence the sunglasses, but the other scarecrows think it is just to attract attention. 
Some day my prince will come 

Boozy Floosie is trying to give up sloe gin and instead is drinking rhubarb cordial.

The Bottle Boys and Babes have been admired and they keep turning their heads to look inside and out of the garden.
Whose pinched my lippy?
His and hers hats

The peg dolls enjoy being out in the sun.

I have managed to clear a large quantity of the allotment.
I have put homemade windmills on the allotment to scare the birds
