Gnomes or No Gnomes?

Do you own any gnomes in your garden?
I didn't but have since found a set that look good, although at ~£300 for them all, not easy money to part with.

I have a gnome in a boot thing with a solar light in it that my parents bought me (were they drunk at the time?). It's hidden in the lavender bed to discourage my dog from stomping on the lavender to stick his snout through a hole in the fence when the fox passes by.
Would I have it out of choice? Hell no.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
We have a Gnome Reserve not far away from here, so we have never felt the need to place some in captivity.

They have acres of woodland to roam in there.

Hate to admit it but I love gnomes. I've got a few scattered around my garden but do prefer my old weathered stone ones best. My sister despairs of me & thinks they're gross but it's like water off a ducks back. Long live gnomes.0

Gnome free zone, but dragons and gargoyles galore.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

No to gnomes but I have decorative garden stakes from Poundland, an ornamental lady frog holding an umbrella....haha. A gift from an elderly neighbour to my dd. I hate it but dd likes it. A hedgehog and a mini concrete lantern. Oh and 2 mini windmills and a suncatcher.Dave Ramsey Fan[/COLOR]0

I don't have a gnome now, but had one as a child.
It would be sad to NOT have gnome because its not seen as 'the done thing' IMO. We have some fright fully tacky parrots hiding in a tree here. They have caught several people out. The real peacock and other birds I suppose makes them think the parrots could be too. 0 -
