Being a total snob I like them if they are humorous looking and have been well made. I do not like some of the garish monstrosities I have seen at times. I would not decapitate it, if you really feel that there is no place for that gnome in your garden, maybe you could donate it to a charity shop?

I love my gnome. He has a certain classiness. Hate other people's.

Wee'lll I have a bronze coloured life metal sized heron (Henry), a goldy looking pheasant (Percy) who ist either side of a cross legged Budhha and a golfing gnome the grandchildren bought DH that we both hide behind a tree. Not sure what to say really - I'm quite partial to a garden ornament or two- I expect someone will pop up soon on here and tell me I have no taste, am thick and need my head kicking in!! smile

Grampy has been out in the garden catching up on everything after our long holiday .

We have a number of ' interesting' items in our garden including a football shirt wearing gnome, a gift from our little ones for Grampy!

He seems indestructible !! We have a little toadstool house tucked in a bush, a frog climbing the big tree at the bottom of the garden and dotted about a squirrel, a hedgehog and a robin. I can live with all those but am contemplating decapitating the gnome with the strimmer !!

Would that be soooooo wrong ? Is there a penalty for Gnomicide ?

Suggestions welcome smile
