Garden gnomes

And other assorted ornaments.

Do you have any? Think they're tacky?

I love buying really tacky garden gnomes for my parents. My dad hates them, and my mum puts them on display. Amuses me no end.

We only have one. It's a stone hedgehog. A squashed stone hedgehog with a tyre mark on his back. Totally tasteful

Tell us about yours

Stone owls and a resin hedgehog that a close friend bought me, so it has to be displayed.

Ooh my Mum had loads, her lawn was covered in all manner of the things. I hated walking up her path, felt like I was being watched.

Someone nicked one once and sent her a postcard from Devon from her Gnome. It arrived back a week later with a lady Gnome in tow and a picture of them together on the beach

Of course my Mother thought it was hilarious, we never did find out who it was

My nan’s spare room.

In the garden is a stone pan pipe playing cherub that was left by the previous owners.

My youngest named him Phil.

We have a stone hedgehog named after a certain British composer. He lives in a plant pot on the balcony.

Though technically a theft (or perhaps abduction) , it does sound hilarious.

Technically it is but would you seriously report a Gnome theft to the police? I wouldn't

Not really. Especially if it was having a lovely holiday at the time

We found broken garden ornaments left by the previous owners. They were buried under the water feature, probably to bulk up the soil. There was also a buried toilet brush and holder. Oddly we didn't put it on display. Or name it.

Surely Basil deserved some respect.

I have, I think he's supposed to be Godzilla but not sure, but he is eating a little garden gnome and has a gnome under each arm and one under his foot. My brother bought him for me as a joke I love him.
