Something I have always wanted.

The dragonfly on the rock is so good Dragonfly ?

The owl on the fork is so cute Fanny. ?

Congratulations on your purchase, Kate. I have a birthday coming up this week so have ordered an owl on a fork as a treat for myself! Thanks for the link.

I love the sound of your heron. I have an ibis but some here call them bin chickens. I like them though and he is made from tin and copper and has sat next to my little pool for around 10 or so years. He weathers well.

I’m so pleased Shysal that you have treated yourself. If we had a bigger garden I would buy more.

Happy Birthday in advance. ?

I mentioned these to a friend yesterday, and she was telling me that she fell in love with a driftwood sculpture at Chelsea. On checking the price she found it was £23,000! We have got a bargain in comparison.

I agree Shysal.

My husband did just tge same for me, way too expensive at tge time, but tgem pleasure I’ve got over the last thirty years has been more than worth it. A thing of beauty is never a waste, mine isn’t pretty and it’s a he, but stunning all the same, even if I move into a flat he is coming with me after a good clean.

Sorry that my the always change to tge it’s a gremlin.

I have forks stuck in the ground in my flower beds to steady myself (old age and RA) when gardening, so I won't have to hide this one!

I’m so pleased Shysal
Please can you and Kate post some photos when your birds arrive.
(Speaking of birds arriving - my housemartins are back! ?)

We have a heron standing by our pond. Only plastic but DH has painted it so it looks quite realistic. His name is Mr. Heron

His name should be Gil Scott, obviously

Fanny he hasn’t got enough hair??

Chinese crested crane = Heron with a ‘fro
(I actually love these birds. I’ve got a really funny photo of DH with one. The bird is only slightly shorted than DH. The poor bloke looks terrified)

Sorry- that was to *Mrs Ken*

Our was promptly called “Carlos” by our then 5 yo DGS. I’ve no idea where that came from!

Our new family member won’t be arriving until after our hols in the New Forest in July. I’m still pondering over the name and your contributions have been helpful. ?

What a beautiful bird, Fanny. Nature has some wonderful things.

I have just ordered Dragonfly on a rock for my birthday today. So excited!

What a beautiful bird, Fanny. Nature has some wonderful things.

Do you see unusual (for us) creatures where you are nanna8?
Are possums quite a common sight?

Dragonfly, that’s brilliant.
Kate, you should be on commission!

Happy birthday dragonfly, it is mine today too. Glad we have treated ourselves, 'we are worth it'.
Daren knows who he has to thank for the extra business!

Happy Birthday Dragonfly and Sal! Wishing you both a lovely day

Well done birthday girls Shysal and Dragonfly for buying yourselves some garden sculptures. Have a lovely day ??
