I still have a couple of old gnomes,  but I am going to send them up to Scrumpy for rep-painting. 

I also have  a couple white Doves,  a broken Frog,   a huge Toad who sits by my front door,  and two Kingfishers hanging on short chains on the front of the shed.  -  oh, and a Mere cat sitting in a rose tub.

I also have quite a tall stone statue out the front of a cloth-capped old chap and his dog, and on a little plaque near his shins it says -  'The dog won't hurt you,  but beware of the dogs owner.'   

Over the years, when I have lost one of my precious dogs, I have always bought an evergreen shrub of some kind, usually Rhododenderons or Camelias.  When they flower every year I think of my dog.
In each of these tubs full of flowers, I have a little plaque of slate which simply says . . . "Miss You"
written on it.

You know what will likely happen. As I've said before it's called hard mode for a reason. I think it's how most by instinct would start. I did until I thought "Sod this for a game of soldiers" and thought through how to regularly succeed in the actual task set which is finf the mystery word in six or less attempts.

Jessie had arthritis, she needed two new knees
Aldi sold secondhand but she didn't want these

That is a lovely pic at the top klondike!

I might have to try that!

We have a dishwasher, but rarely use it.  OH does most of it by hand,  his choice, so no arguments from me. 

Good news Mike, glad you're feeling better, and I'm in awe of your hard work Scrumpy. I was in the pool this morning for my exercise class.  Then a visit to Morrisons, and some weeding after lunch.  That's enough for one day. Tea and biscuits now! 

No gnomes, a few random coloured lights, and some small metal ladybirds on the trellis. 🤣

They are talking about them on the radio..
 Do you have them in your garden..?
 Do you have loads of statues and gimmicky stuff in your garden.. ?

Sally won a hundred million on the Euro draw
She really had been hoping for a little more
Where will a hundred million go these days ?
As Sally was known for her expensive ways
Now she could shop at Harrods store
