But now I have a little more to say on the subject of the scare crows. They are all brilliant aren't they! One of the best is the two little dogs outside one of the cottages which has a sign saying 'they did say Greek Dogs didn't they?'. Suits my sense of humour.
There is a wonderful scarecrow of Cerberus (three legged) outside the Anchorage. There is a long story attached to this one - the heads exploded apparently but I wasn't allowed to see them before they were fixed. Certainly not allowed to photograph them. I will now. Actually, no I won't. I went along to photograph them today and they were all broken. So, sorry, no photo here. I will ask Axle and Taryn what has happened and I will see if they have a photo.
The Hydra is fantastic, many heads and monstrous shape, it bears little resemblance to the original wooden structure. I love the fact that the faces of those who work in the shop are represented on each of the heads. I also love the fact that the twins thought it really funny that Grandad's picture was on the monster.
So we have a hydra, a cerberus, further round in Craobh other creatures of the deep and the little surfer at Craobh Watersports.
Scary creatures coming from human imagination - not forgetting Rory's Lady of the Lagoon (which I find really scary ) -
by the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes!
The lady of the lagoon is along the shore at Duine. She's nothing to be scared off, RAT, in fact she is a very lovely example of trash art. To find her, retrace the steps of the torch relay to where runner 37 started - the numbers still on the road.
