The Gardener's Rest

My friend's garden, which her husband has been clearing the undergrowth, has revealed several items discarded under bushes or the long grass.

This garden ornament shows a gardener at rest on a bench and although covered in algae is a lovely thing. One small thing, he had lost his head and it had to be cemented back on.

Best viewed with the magnify button above thr picture.

What a great find. We all lose our heads over our gardens sometimes, don't we? I like the green patina on the wall behind too.

Glad he never lost his marbles ;) He is lovely, but wondering how they could have lost him....

@khawbecker @lynnilou Thank you ladies, the previous owners of the house had left a very large garden grow wild and we don't think anything had been done for years, it's beginning to come back to life.

@thresheg @killeen @byrdlip Thank you all, I liked him and thought he should be remembered by a photograph.

@virtualbrownie @philcameron59 @gerry Thanks to you all for your comments, I thin being hidden under a hedge for several years could have weathered it.

[Mickey Anderson]

how cool! I often find goodies in the spring when our Snow is gone! and some things not as good..... great shot!

Another great find (I am working backwards), I hope they are going to keep them in their garden

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@claireuk Thanks Claire, yes they are staying but put in a better spot where they can be seen.

[Barbara Donnellan]

Oh this is quite nice as well (I'm skipping around , not going in order). What other treasures await your friends and your lens Im wondering. Lots of character here.
