They are also Crying the Neck up at the Eden Project over their Harvest period, so the Corn Spirit will be well and truly put to bed this year!<br />This website has some good pictures:<br />http://www.strawcraftsmen.co.uk/cryneck.phpcorncocklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491060218464606796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559862206054673677.post-1046452739431887912010-09-24T06:45:44.719+01:002010-09-24T06:45:44.719+01:00Absolutely fascinating!
