Charlotte or should it be shallot? A new face at the allotments

Gardening friends Linda Waterhouse (pictured on the left) and Liz Mortimer have added a newcomer to their Silsden allotment. Their skilfully assembled scarecrow, tastefully named Charlotte, has become a growing hit with the other members of Silsden Allotment Association. Linda and Liz each gardened larger plots until they decided to downsize this year. Rather than give up their hobby, they agreed to share a smaller plot, which still has room for Charlotte to be a colourful showpiece.
