I've name changed as I'm sure when word gets round it will be very outing. We will use "pom bears" as a term of reference for how long I've been here 😂

A large bear has appeared in my brother in laws drive. In his parking space.

Very handsome, but very large 😂

No idea who dropped him off. Or even how I missed him being dropped off. (We face his drive). 😂😂😂😂

That is @Sweetpea1532 , @MrsMacIsBack ❤️

I think the M6 giraffe deserves a mention. Although he seemed to have gone on a wander when I drove past a few weeks ago…

These would hopefully frighten off the burglars:

Yes!
should be a statuary requirement for all home insurance policies. 😂

Or give the nosy neighbours something else to complain about:

Fab! Everyone should have an animal statue in their garden. I have 2 penguins...

AnneKipankitoo · 24/07/2022 14:22

That really takes the biscuit @Jaxhog !

MrsMacIsBack · 24/07/2022 14:27

It's so hard to choose. I think I'm going to go for the life size moose, if only because I can't resist a bargain and it's in the sale at the moment:

Bloody elk @MrsMacIsBack !

I have many layers… eggsceptional!

LookItsMeAgain · 24/07/2022 14:49

@MrsMacIsBack - I really like that centaur....I loved the giraffe (whoever posted the link to that). I unfortunately don't have a garden big enough to take any of them though...perhaps if I win the EuroMillions

MrsMacIsBack · 24/07/2022 20:26

You certainly crack us up, @AnneKipankitoo Wink

It's 'only' £3450, @LookItsMeAgain - I'm sure everyone could just squeeze past them if you really wanted one or two. You could even tie your washing line in between them to save a bit of space...

InMySpareTime · 24/07/2022 20:41

If they're the right kind of metal you could use fridge magnets to attach washing to it.

I loved the m6 giraffe, it went missing after a particularly windy day few month back. I was expecting to see it lodged in one of the trees near by.

Kinda gutted it's gone & do wonder what's happened to it :)

Sweetpea1532 · 25/07/2022 03:16

I just knew you were around* *somewhere near @MrsMacIsBack !Grin

You're spot on @AnneKipankitoo , I didn't think anyone could work out that it was me in that video since it was before I'd grown out my Farrah hairdo...the accent gave me away, eh?
@MrsMacIsBack how on earth did you dig up that old thing? That was another lifetime agoWink

Sweetpea1532 · 25/07/2022 03:54

@BillyBobBear , If your DBIL won't share his bear, I'd be glad to give you my cactus statue....you can dress it up, too.
It's Hand-made out of heating duct by my NDN...I rescued it out of his bin...he said he was tired of looking at it...although he still has to see it albeit from my back garden( @iklboo, how's my grammar?)

Sweetpea1532 · 25/07/2022 03:57

@BillyBobBear
And if the cactus won't work, how about the Magnificent Seven statue?

@BillyBobBear perhaps he could come and play with King Kong who's just come back to Brum. ..

To be fair I've always said if I won the lottery one of my first purchases would be a full size giraffe statue https://www.candleandblue.co.uk/epages/es114052.mobile/enUS/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es1140522_es121978079119/Products/%22Large%20Metal%20Giraffe%22
We back onto fields but there is a well used footpath that runs the other side of our hedge, I'd put him peering out and see how long it took for comments to come in on the village FB page.

Oh @wonkylegs I'd do that too! Love an enormous giraffe statue!

AnneKipankitoo · 25/07/2022 13:08

I love that blue of your ductus 😂@Sweetpea1532 .
The Magnificent Seven certainly are. ❤️

MrsMacIsBack · 25/07/2022 14:32

That ductus is crying out for some eyes.

AnneKipankitoo · 25/07/2022 14:40

‘Allo Vera !

iklboo · 25/07/2022 14:54

One of the offices below ours have a life sized zebra statue. I have no idea why. It's not linked to their name or what we do. We give visitors directions by it:

'If you see the zebra you're in the wrong wing. Turn left, go through the double doors and up a floor'

Sweetpea1532 · 25/07/2022 16:53

I'm glad you like the blue@AnneKipankitoo ...it's a naturally occurring in nature colour Grin
MrsM@MrsMacIsBack what a brilliant idea.Just what it needs to add to its tackiness...I'll be run out of the neighbourhood for sure with the addition of those eyes.
@iklboo..glad you made it...and with such a good post about a zebra, too. The company was just being extra helpful Grin

AnneKipankitoo · 25/07/2022 17:00

Glow in the dark eyes !
