A CUMNOCK house has been decorated with themed balloon art during lockdown.

Janice Hendry has been designing different inflatable displays outside her home on Bute Road in Holmhead.

She has made a multicoloured rainbow, a special NHS key-worker and a VE day arch complete with RAF plane in clouds above.

Janice said: “Some people are singing, others playing music and of course people will also be doing balloons.

“In short, we need to keep spirits up and any way we can do that is a bonus.

“So until this is all over I will do a design to add a bit of cheer to the street.”

Scotland is in lockdown, shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We’re not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Cumnock Chronicle, and the vital local news service we’ve provided since 1901 is under threat.

Please consider supporting the Cumnock Chronicle  in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you’re shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.
