When son was little we had those latex moulds to make gnomes with cement. He loved them and used to paint them in very garish colours! They have long passed their best so now I have some stone owls, 2 cherubs, 2 japanese lanterns and a rubber snake at top of drive. Snake was supposed to scare cats away but seems to work better on people . Terrified a "cold caller" not so long ago - great big bloke who screamed like a baby
Nope was ages ago , let me ask OH if he remembers when ....could be 10-15yrs ago he thinks, they were from house round the corner in Morton area of Carlisle
I have a mole, meerkat (half of ), sheep, bunny planter and a bunny , my mum has fairies I've bought her I need some new things ...a gnome or two and some toadstools perhaps ..
