The village of Sonning in Berkshire hold an annual Scarecrow Trail. If you know anything about the residents of Sonning, you will know that a charity shop suit stuffed with straw would never hold muster. A collection of 2014 entries: Indian food served on the street, the chance to nose around residents gardens. Pimms. I…
So what would you both like to do, seeing as it’s Dad’s birthday on the same day as Mothering Sunday? Ok. Advice on tree hugging can be found here.
