Yesterday, as Storm Babet battered Oldham, Kwok and Julie's poor scarecrows were also subject to a "good bashing". "Me and Julie really like putting up a display in our garden as it makes people smile. "The school children say to me, 'Mr we love your garden and can't wait for your next display'." Others said they always look forward to the couple's garden display and some said the new NHS scarecrows are "the best" yet and encouraged them to "keep up the good work". Kwok and Julie's display is just one of 79 scarecrows to be seen along a trail in Royton this Halloween.
