We used to have a stone otter we called “Ollie” he moved from house to house. Unfortunately having to move out fast we left Ollie behind as the removal men didn’t take him. By the time we got back from the solicitors they had packed up everything and ready to go
Just got only a low bird drinking concrete plinth now oh and a stone boot left here from previous owners

Aww I’m sure Ollie went to a loving home x

Cast iron bird/bee drinking stations in the shape of poppies
15% of the price went to the Poppy Appeal

I bought them about 3 weeks ago
I’ve seen one blackbird drink from them
And the two wood pigeons who frequent my garden like to wet their feet in them!

They look nice,Rhian.

Let’s hope the new owners are looking after,Ollie.

I just put a load of pics on another thread the other day…let me see if I can copy them across…

I’ve got a lot of ornaments in my garden that I inherited from my Dad. I remember my Mum sitting and painstakingly painting them. They were in my parents garden for donkey’s years. I got them around 2000/2001. In that time I’ve repainted them twice.

They do add a nice splash of colour when the garden is otherwise bare.

This is part of the front garden with some odd ornaments.

odds — Postimages

Front garden again with the painted barrows, and that blue planter I made from an old pallet. In the background there are some old plastic pots I painted a few years ago, looks like they need some attention actually.

barrows — Postimages

This is under the hedge in the front garden, Snow White and the 5 dwarves, there did used to be 7, I know I broke one but I think there’s another one maybe fallen over there somewhere as there were definitely 6 last time I looked. Maybe it escaped.

snow white — Postimages

This is in the back garden, it’s an old bird bath stand but the bath itself got broken so now I use it as a pot stand.

bird bath stand — Postimages

This is an assortment of ornaments, the ones in the background are sort of water based and are situated around my fake pond. And I especially like my dragon at the front.

pond — Postimages

And this is at the top of the back garden (the pyramid is a defunct water feature). You can just see Laurel and Hardy hiding behind the Cordyline at the back.

pyramid — Postimages

I did find the other dwarf, it was Doc and he was asleep under the hedge

Nicol your garden is lovely, I bet you get so much pleasure sitting in that garden.

Hah, Look what I just found at the back of the greenhouse under the table. I was looking for a hose connection and found my Robins. I put them away last year and forgot about them. Will get them cleaned up and find a place to put them…

awww, the bill and bens are so cute, I want some!

[LionQueen]

I don’t have many garden ornaments but I bought these a couple of weeks form a garden centre, I thought they were different.

Now I need to go weed my gravel, I’ve just noticed they are popping up, the buggars

They’re quite easy to make LQ. You Tube vids show you how. I want a big one but I just never seem to get around to getting the stuff.

Not these ones, I got them off Ebay. Just checked and they have plenty all around a fiver. Just type flower pot men in the search bar.

We had a garden gnome that SIL’s mum gifted. It was in a rockery at the back of the garden. It seems to have disappeared…(ahem)

I think if you have a manicured garden then ornaments are nice, but I’m not quite there yet. Our ornaments are the bird feeding station with the latest addition of a squirrel proof seed feeder.

Sounds nice,Annie,…I have 3 bird feeding stations,…

There are a few ornaments dotted around the garden. Here are a couple of them…

Being next to a garden seat, this one is quite handy…

Mart,some some reason I am unable to view Imgur,…all I get is a blue screen.

I love garden ornaments too Pauline. This is just a few of mine.
