A New Receptionist

On Wednesday Tim had his 60th birthday. To "celebrate???" he cycled 75 miles to London to present a cheque to Farm Africa raised from his challenges during his 60th. year.
Here is a link to see him arriving.

What an incredible achievement. Well done Tim.

Here is another link to read more about Tim`s fund-raising.

Tonight we are celebrating in the barn with a party.
Maybe more photos later.
It is NOT a barn dance.

Whilst they were on their way to London Steve and I put the latest scarecrow together.
We had a lot of fun doing it.
Tim wanted a new "receptionist" for the reception hut...... farmers are always so busy!!

Anne gave us Tim`s old clothes.
Steve articulated all the limbs so that it can be placed in any position and I can tell you it was in quite a few compromising ones as it was being made.....perhaps why we giggled so much.


This photo shows the articulation.


Yes it is stuffed double tights.


A headless body.


Getting friendly.


A helping hand.



A trip in the car to the farm.














In the reception hut.
 

You will notice that the final touch was a solar panelled spotlight which shines on his face at night.

The following day Tim discovered his new receptionist and as Anne said.....
"not saying very much but with a nice smile."
They saw a light in the yard and went to investigate...it was the solar light making things look a little spooky!
