Actually, the ten year old can have the chiminea to cook sausages on in the garden! He'd like that!
Or I could.....!
Just the bare bosomed lady to sort out now.
Outside DH's shed? Yep. Sounds ok. 
I'm going to give the gnome to my grandson. He, being a seven year old teenager, will feel an affinity with it.
I like the sound of the gnome! I've still got Mr Happy in my garden, badly in need of a lick of paint but still reminding me of holidays in Cornwall long long ago. At least you didn't bring them home and give them to someone else; that would have been awkward for the recipients 
. I hope I'm not giving you bad ideas there, though......
you bought an old statue of a lady clutching her robe, unsuccessfully, round her bosom, what would you actually do with it when you got home? 
I paid eighteen quid for it. (I did knock seller down from twenty, so that's alright. 
)
And, a tabletop chiminea? At 32 cms high it's too big to put on the table, and you couldn't have a little fire in it in the dining room - could you?
And then there's the garden gnome holding a notice in front of his cross looking self, saying,"GO AWAY". Why did I buy that?
What happens to brains on holiday?
