Short Stories and Paintings in the making
Three Friends, enjoying a relaxing evening playing cards. Of course they should be working, but they understand crows have to eat as well
Dion - He's probably the most cleverest of the trio, but only because they want him to think so. The ringleader at the very least.- Cludo - The least worldly wise, in scarecrow terms, also the youngest of the three. Dion's little brother and all round trouble-maker
- FW - Always had an aversion to work. Thought he landed on his feet with this job, leaning on a stick post all day. Live and let live, espeicially where it concerns crows.
- I produced this book and series of paintings when my daughter was born, with a view to having a story of my own to tell her at Bedtime. Please download and enjoy, you'll get the link once you sign up below in the subscribe box.

The Scarecrows
When I was a lot younger and growing up at home in Kilkenny, I used to regularly visit an elderly Uncle and Aunt of mine. They had no kids but were blessed with a happy marriage and were very much in love with each other. When I think of my visits now the sun always seems to have been shining and the days long and bright. They loved their dogs, always having at least three. One of my Uncle's favourite habits was narrating the "conversations" the dogs were having with each other, and more importantly what they were saying about us. In hind-sight it was such a childish practise really, but children seemed to have the best fun, and it was good fun.
