    Home bargains sell them. Not very heavy though.

    I've seen a nice one in sainsburys for £18.
    Also some lovely ones at my local Wyevale garden centre (those are bit pricey though! Around £80 for the big ones)

    sainsburys: likely to be concrete cast, or worse, plastic.

    I've got one of the resin ones, chose it rather than the concrete garden centre ones which often have squashed faces. It looks fine in a shady spot, raised up on a tree stump.

    Smaller than you wanted but they seem ok.

    Just buy a small one, then move it closer to your eyes (c) Viz Comic
