nooooooooooooo !!! Surely not, it's lovely and sunny here today. I may take my poorly back out for a walk later.

yes, it does seem it will be more of a hot chocolate and biscuits whilst shivering in the garden rather than a glass of wine and relaxing in the evening sun! Sorry folks if I jinxed it by wittering on about how pleasurable the lighter evenings are!!

Heh, this was the exact same for me this year.
Definitely one of the years mini-milestones to get me through to the next week off work at christmas/new year and all the food that goes with it!

Due to be planted with ferns and moss.
Will be painting dragon with yoghurt soon to help green it up a bit and will post pic later in the year.

Bought Elgrin home to sit happily in the new micro meadow he's a 3ft dwarf! I have sat him on some large stones with gaps so small mammals and insects, amphibians! can take shelter under him as he is hollow at his base! Like the Yoghurt idea will paste some on the stones at his feet. Cheers Hobble

Never cared for cutesy stone statues in my garden Dan but cute he aint and he will make a good home for wildlife, have seen oddies garden on tv rest assured it isn't my kettle of fish but to each his own. you'll just have to see the outcome like it or not!

Painted the dragon with my 3yr old daughter yesterday, she asked why and I told her it may help to green her up a bit.
Moved some forget-me-nots for self seeding next year so he will look as if he is in water.
As far as Oddies garden, no thanks, it would drive me mad.
