They sat in my garden, mostly forgotten about, until the summer of 2016 when I decided to give the garden a re-vamp. I brought them all inside, cleaned them up and repainted them.
There used to be a similar model to the tramp but it was an old woman. It got stolen from the front garden shortly after I put it out there
Hi Nicol... good for you taking care of them! I have to say they look rather grand.
It really amused me seeing another Mr Mortimer. I punched the air and shouted Mr Mortimer! (I'm very childlike
)
My daughter used her water colour paints every year, so of course, it rarely lasted long, but she loved doing it. Nearly 30 yrs we've had him
I've left a note with my will, for her not to forget about him.
I wonder why folk pinch garden gnomes and little statues? It amuses me when people send postcards from them, showing them on holiday after they've been pinched.
