Kirklevington Scarecrows

Another selection of entries in June's annual scarecrow competition in the North Yorkshire village of Kirklevington.

Batman had a task to - 

And protect

Red Riding Hood

Others had a windbreak

While Jack climbed 

The Beanstalk

or went to tea with

The Mad Hatter

While someone scared off 

Peter Rabbit

from inviting his friends for tea.

Sounds like a job for

Batman again

There are still more entries to come in the weeks to come before you decide which scarecrow you like best.

Children - Sunday Stamps

I had to visit my market stall and the local flea market to find stamps for this week's child/children theme. Both places always have lots of first day covers, so much so that I recognise the names and addresses on the envelopes.

Great Britain - Year of the Child 1979

The stamps are worth a closer look.

• 9p The Tale of Peter Rabbit
• 10.1/2p The Wind in the Willows
• 11p Winnie-the-Pooh
• 13p Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
