Hi Erhard ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.

Maybe you had something similar in Germany..
Best Wishes, and stay safe!

Ohhh Flobabdob!

Best wishes and stay safe

Hi Steve,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
You must have lived in luxury! We never even knew what a TV set was, never mind dream of having one!
I remember seeing them when I was young, but I don't remember how or where. Must have been in school holidays or something,,
Best Wishes, and stay safe!

We genuinely did 'Watch With Mother' in those days, Peter.
Nostalgic shot.
Best wishes,
Andy,

Hi Andy,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
I am also sure that these days the PC snowflake brigade would object to the title .. How about "Watch with whichever parent is able to give child care under the pretence of 'work from home'!"
Best Wishes, and stay safe!
Peter

PS, I also notice that the gardener 'went for his dinner', (not lunch), and the good old 'dinner ladies' we had in school..

Yes, all that you say here is true, Peter. Woke is OK as long as it doesn't cloud reality, which is unfortunately exactly what it does!
Best wishes,
Andy.

Oh MY ! this is a great shot Peter! :)))) I saw the link, verrrrrry interesting :)) I want to try and make one of these.:) very artist and clever...
Best wishes, Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Thank you very much!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it, and gained inspiration from it!
They are part of a 'Village Scarecrow' competition, intended to raise morale during the virus times. Another entry is www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/50091416
I am sure these two would be the talking point of your neighbourhood if you made them!!

Best Wishes, and stay safe!
Peter

No wonder the world's in such a bad way. ;-)))

Hi Amelia,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I am pleased you found it interesting.
There are now the best part of 100 'scarecrows' around the village, some (like these) better than others!
Best Wishes, and stay safe!
Peter

You have gone to pot Peter :))

Hi Nick,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
No, I had nothing to do with making them either!
Best Wishes, and stay safe!
Peter

I remember them well Peter!! I didn't like The Wooden Tops though!
Just had a laugh at Nick's comment ;-))

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa ,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
Glad you like them. As I said above, they are part of a village scarecrow competition (not my entry either). As I said to Steve, I remember them from many years ago, but don't remember how I came to watch them.. Now you mention it I remember the Wooden Tops existed, but don't remember anything about any of the characters, or story lines.. Obviously un-inspiring!
Best Wishes, and stay safe!
Peter

Bill and Ben, the famous Flower Pot Men... There are people who really have ideas!!

Hi Christa,
Thank you for visiting!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it! Did you have these in France too?
I know you had Little Noddy / "Oui oui" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkTtxx1prO0
Best Wishes, and stay safe!
Peter

Yes Peter, there was the wooden "Oui-Oui'" in France, a long time ago (it doesn't rejuvenate me;-)) I think the origin was from Enid Blayton, so finally "Oui-Oui" is British!!

Two funny guys Peter.

Hi Jaap ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Glad you like it.
They are national heros for older people!!
Best Wishes,
Peter

Funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Marie-claire ,

My dear Füsun
Thank you for visiting!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
Certainly there are many scarecrows about, although some are not as scary as others!
Maybe Ela would like the 'Flowerpot Men'..!
Love Peter
