    That bird has a disdainful look. I'd put him by a heap of landfill fugitives and give him something to look down his beak at. 
    That being said,I like him.I
    I found a three-legged stone pig.

    Contact the Tate immediately! This could be a national treasure or a pile of GoS -worthy tat.
    I will leave it to you to decide which is your coveted accolade. @Lyn

    Buried stone with a patina gradually loses the element of shame that is intrinsic to GoS.
    Plastic and  sanitary ware from the decade that taste forgot is naturally more worthy of the shame that is our pride.
    Note the doublethink. refer to '1984' for further information

    The hedgehog was buried in a border, I knew he was there, it’s covered in moss, as are the flower beds at the moment.
    I photographed him on a bag as I didn’t want to put him on the worktop😀
    He’s  one of a set of three, couldn't find the others. They may turn up, there’s some old gnomes there somewhere, bald now, paint’s worn off.

  • Hi @B3. Just Google Freecycle they have groups all over the place it's free to sign up and then you can make posts either an OFFER or a WANTED.  I've got rid of all sorts of stuff that would either would have gone to landfill or would have to have been lugged into town to a charity  shop. There was a 6x7 foot shed dominating my garden when I moved in. Put it on Freecycle and 2 blokes came over a werkend and took it down and took it away for free. I've also got stuff like 12 panes of greehouse glass.  An amazing organisation x

    I have a dyson ( other better vacuum cleaners were available) I want to get rid of, but I don't want it to go to a business. Our local one seems very business-orientated for electrical goods.

    you could sell it in bits on flea bay. Everyone who has one of those has regular need of spares. You could take it to a charity shop but it seems a bit unkind, really
