Sunday afternoon
The sun came out after a very cold night.
My boyhood gnome revealed from the ivy, still a classy chap.
Left to right- a gnome belonging to my late mother in law, my boyhood gnome and finally a gnome made of rubbery material from my grandma’s garden. He originally pushed a wheelbarrow, long gone.
A well earned rest ,refuel and think after gardening.
A productive day in the garden. I have several garden gnomes in states of weathered lack of paint and I am in two minds as to whether to repaint or not. There is a good little Shire book on Garden Gnomes.
I wouldn’t repaint personally, if they are older terracotta etc types. Newer concrete I might consider. I have that very book , it is a fascinating read. Alan Tradgardland
