Scarecrow Trail 2021

Scarecrow Trail Header

It doesn’t seem like a year but it is. Time to get the thinking caps on and the creative juices flowing. This year the theme for the Scarecrow Trail is Children’s Books and we’re looking forwards to see what everybody does with that.

The starting date is Friday 25th June and just like last year there will be a map for people to follow. 

Don’t forget that Sunday 27th June is St Peter’s Day Celebration and we’re hoping that as people do the trail they will take time out to enjoy the offerings of St Peter’s day at the Church.

Details for the scarecrow trail to follow of the next couple of weeks so start to get your ideas together – it’s going to be a good one.

The Stone Snake

Despite the cold, the wet and the snow Sophie braved the elements to begin the stone snake on the village green. An amazing array of all of the painted stones that were made for the Easter stone hunt plus the ones that didn’t make it into the hunt because we had so many.

If you’ve been inspired to paint your own stone please feel free to add it to the snake. Let’s see if we can make it stretch all around the tree.

Adderley Parish Council

The Parish Council of Adderley has expressed their sadness at the death of Prince Philip, Councillor Marius Coulon said:

“On behalf of the Councillors, Clerk and residents of Adderley I wish to express the great sadness felt here at the news of the death of Prince Philip. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this time.”

Making The Most Of The Weekend

We’re getting some truly gorgeous pictures from people who have loved the stone hunt over the Easter weekend. the Sinclaire sisters and Sebastian and his little brother. We’ve added them to the Spring Fun gallery below.

We have also had some lovely comments sent via the FB page and e-mails. thank you to everybody who took time to reach out.

Reminder: there are still ten easter eggs to give away so get those clue sheets in. Even if you didn’t find all of the stones you may till have enough to win an egg.

We Have 10 Easter Eggs As Prizes

The response to the painted stone hunt has been amazing. We have had to take extra maps and clues down to the Book Shelter today. We are also starting to get pictures from people and we have a lovely picture of Sophie from Corrine which we’ve added to the Spring Fun gallery. Please send us some more pictures of your stone hunt or pictures of you with Peter Rabbit.

Did you know that there are 10 Easter Eggs to give away as prizes! All you have to do is put your completed clues sheet into the little posting box in the Book Shelter next to Peter Rabbit. Prizes will go to the first 10 out of the box with the most stones found. Make sure you put in the What3words answers.

We also have a small box of very nice chocolates for the first adult to find the most stones. You have until next Friday to answer the clues and we will start to empty the box every day from tomorrow (Tuesday). Happy hunting!

Spring Fun

Adderley shines again and we’ve met people, adults and children, hunting for stones and finding eggs. Excited or what! We’re started to get pictures and we really like that. Special thanks to Ken Greetham for a stunning spring image of daffodils in the spring sunshine at St Peter’s Church round the sun dial.

Now, have you spotted Peter Rabbit’s friends jumping into their holes? Look carefully, there are three of them near the village green. Many thanks to Val Nash and Corrine for the pictures and an extra special thanks to Chris Shaw for providing the disappearing bunnies.

 

We’ve heard the people are taking pictures of themselves with Peter Rabbit. It would be lovely if you could share them with us and we will add them to the gallery.

Just send them to: niceplacetobe@adderleyparish.co.uk .
