Phoebe Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 we have a scarecrow competition in our village, and it is quite scary when people have put them all up in their front gardens. I find them a bit sinister somehow.... We have a gnome though - proper china one, which was a wedding present and is now 22. The children repainted him as a birthday treat (for him !) 2 years ago and so he looks better than new now. His name is Gordon.... but nothing to do with the Scots chap of the same name.

Alis girls Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I did have 2 pot cats somewhere in the jungle called a garden and a fox. Reminds to go and hunt them out - with 2 boys they tend to get footballs lobbed at them. I had to laugh at shot garden gnome - sorry - just one question why was it in neighbours garden? Do you have a gnome sharing scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 We don't have B&M here, though it looks like they have a few stores over in the Black Country. We do have Home Bargains and they sell similar bits and bobs I thought it sounded like Home Bargains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I like them. I had a bigger one a few years ago but it was stuffed with paper and only lasted a couple of years. Maybe I'll try and make one to keep the birds off the strawberries this year. (I don't like netting them) I have two tin cats that are supposed to hold plant pots, two sheep that the glaze is falling off but I like them so won't throw them out, a metal effect plastic gnome, a boy and girl statue, a goose, a squirrel and a cherub. Plus a variety of bird baths including a girl reading a book and a snoozing mexican. All very tastefully arranged around the garden of course.
