On the way back from Chatsworth Country Fair we saw some signs for several well-dressings which I have always wanted to see but had never done. So Skip, I & the boys followed the signs to one Derbyshire village called 'Wormhill'. OK it was evening & the actual event had passed but people in the village had made scarecrows & you had to follow them to the actual well.On the scarecrow trail you also had to vote on which was the best scarecrow as they were all numbered. Mary Poppins got our vote although the vicar came a close second.
This years subject for the well dressing was Ely Cathedral.
This is the main well of the village.

The picture is made on a board & the colours are made up of individual leaves & petals.

There was a second well dressing, location indicated by one of the scarecrows.

Take a closer look, it was good however quite spooky to go round a village fulll of scarecrows.

This well dressing was started by children & parents 10 yrs ago where the theme was 'the stocks'. For their 10th anniversary they came back from University,Colleges,& High schools to pass on their experience. Notice the scarecrow is now in the stocks.
