Double Figures

With two weeks to go to the May 1st deadline, entries received for the trail have now reached double figures, not counting the schools that are set to participate. A map of Loughton has been pinned up on my living room wall, so that I can mark up the locations of all the scarecrows for which I have already received an entry form. The shape of this year's trail is gradually beginning to emerge. What I need now is more entries! I've heard a rumour that, in one street, the neighbours are planning a group entry. What a fantastic idea! It is heartening to think that neighbours are getting together to rise to the challenge. Scarecrows are beginning to work their unique appeal.
