Harrods was shut when Sally got there
She really wanted something new to wear
So she went in to Liberty and some of the rest
But ended up in Primark because they are the best

Interesting what people have in their gardens..
I have a homemade signpost in my front garden with pointers showing the mileage of different places around the world.. All in different colours.. One points upwards.. it reads  NEVERLAND Second star on the right.
I have two (happy) scarecrows that lean over the decking railings.. Fred and Ethel...
I put them out in the summer time.. They cheer me up..

Jessie had arthritis, she needed two new knees
Aldi sold secondhand but she didn't want these
Eventually a new one, now no pain in the right
Unfortunately the left still kept her awake most nights
A long wait for the NHS, but at least it is still free.

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

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.'    :smiley:

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 find the mystery word in six or less attempts.
