Jenny Shotcliff our librarian started us off on the activity which was
making a straw dolly heart. (Jenny had to get special straw which had been grown
organically as this is more flexible and doesn't snap.) These she explained were
used to to give to young men at the end of harvest time to show you fancied
them- a bit like a valentine so quite topical! Also they represented fertility
which caused a bit of a laugh!
