I didn't lurk very successfully

Well I wandered round the village all day.  I found one gorgeous scarecrow, but I don't know who she is meant to be and I can't speak to her builder until later.  This is she.  You can't see her head, but it is there and she has a gorgeous red flower on it.  She is wearing jewels and a green scarf.  No prizes for guesses but do you know who she could be?



 I also found Demeter (or Ceres as she was called by the Romans) who is the Goddess of Agriculture and she was standing in the rain clutching her representative cornucopia of grasses.  She is wearing a crown of wheat and corn too. She has a very smiley face, and she seems to be gazing into the distance towards the harvest time.  Perhaps she could be looking for Persephone (her daughter) who she was often pictured with.   


I went on a hunt for Clair's naked runner, but the dog decided I was too wet and he wasn't going any further.  I am sure he is getting nearer to the village, I think he must be Hermes.  The wings on his feet will ensure he gets here when he needs to, to find his small running partner near the yacht centre.  By the way, did you know that Hermes is responsible for inventing the alphabet?  I like that, but he also invented numbers.  Schoolchildren may have quite a few reasons to dislike him.

I will need to try and lurk again tomorrow and hope I find a few more.  I'm having fun being nosy hope you don't mind.

  1. Is she the Goddess, Hibiscus ? or is she the Goddess, Janine, on her way to a right royal knees up?
