Garden solar lights anyone?

This an old thread. How do people find them? I only realised, when I saw the post from Jingles, RIP.

So often resurrected for spam posts aren’t they Marydoll ?

I like a light or two around the garden so I don't bang into the pots or the toys left around.
We currently have a string of lights on the den, an owl that changes colour by the back gate and a miniature lighthouse whose light revolves just like a real one in our shingle garden.
I really really would like some gnomes but not windchimes - next doors are quite enough!

I have garden lights in my front garden all year round: Australia and a secluded courtyard. The roolz is warm white only for me.

What are roolz ?

Well, I love the night sky and the moon reflected in the river - when it isn't raining, sorry night light lovers

Thank goodness that there is someone else that isn’t keen on lights in the garden.
Apart from 2weeks at Christmas. Let the wildlife be as natural as possible.
More plastic tat from China.

I’ll crawl into my hole now.

Wind chimes, gnomes and doo-dads stuck in the ground here n there remind me of old people's houses together with net curtains and flowery patterned indoor ceramic plant pots. Dreadful.

Only one landing strip at my home and it ain't solar.

I'm all for a bit of a twinkle in the garden! I have some solar lights shoved into some pots each side of the steps leading up to the garden and at the top of the steps at the front of the house. They are a nice twinkly welcome home even if they don't really light up the steps too well. £2 each in Asda - a bargain

I must admit, I quite like gnomes, but if I ever put one in my garden, I don't think the DC would speak to me again. What I do have is a leprechaun called Charlie (because he bears a striking resemblance to Prince Charles - especially the ears!). I love him to bits, but he needs a bit of a paint job now so that's a project for this year - smarten him up a bit!

We have a wind chime but only because DGD made it at school. We have hung
it in the porch so it doesn't bother the neighbours

Great thread, very funny. I will look at gnomes but it might be scary if they turn and come and find me in my bed!

Another confession - we have a front lawn of artificial grass and it has been much admired by passers by. One lady even came and knocked on the door and asked if we could tell her where we got it as she was so impressed and could hardly believe it wasn't real. At least three friends have followed suit and installed it. DH occasionally brushes stripes into it using the yard brush. We have plenty of plants and shrubs around the borders so it blends in really well.

My hens are in the back garden where we have a patio and a shingle area (known as the beach) and again lots of plants, trees and shrubs and pots around it. It is all low maintenance but full of colour and very pretty. It suits us as we are now beyond a big garden.

No, no, no! Not wind chimes! Hate them with a passion. They are so intrusive, all that bloody clanging. Seemingly every mountain/hill/bit of an incline we visited in Europe and America seems to have a resident band of nutters in place playing bloody pan pipes. In our last house new neighbours moved in and immediately installed wind chimes. It was awful, they clanged at the slightest breeze. The peace of over 20 years ruined. We moved.
We have turned our new light off flash mode, peace is restored.

I like gnomes - can you get them with solar lights in them. Will have to suss this out.

I have about half a dozen hanging in a tree at the bottom of the garden which shed just enough light for us to see in the dark if we're sitting out late with a - they sort of twinkle.

I love solar lights and would have them all over the garden if it were not for the fact that my neighbour opposite hates them, and they never draw their curtains in the evenings. So I just have a few discreet ones.

In my garden I have a "puck" on a plinth. A fish that used to spout water until the pond went. And a Venus overlooking a birdbath shell. Oh and a couple of Buddha's. Sounds a tad crowded when I think if it.

I love my solar lights. I buy them from Poundland, they are lovely. I have some that change colour. I love to see them coming on when it starts to get dark. I also have a couple of gnomes - I wouldn't have bought them but they were made and painted for me by my cousin

I think gnomes are cute . I do have a white stone dove perched on my kitchen window , small and plump , I like doves . Oh and I do have wind chimes both front and back of house

Rose -- Never send a gnome to do a man's job or (woman's of course)

I have lots of the fairy lights in my garden, in bushes and small trees and wound around the balustrade on the decking. It is very chavvy and I love them.
Only problem of course is that H and I go to bed very early and seldom see them.

Go for it Jingle , cheer up the world
