As the saying goes 'like attracts like' so imagine my surprise when Mr Postman dropped off a parcel yesterday with a very distinct shape...
Remember his beakiness:
Well guess who's arrived....
His girlfriend!! So I emailed the seller to say that another one has arrived as I only ordered one and the response was that it was a mistake on their part and that I can keep the new addition! mwahahaha! I wonder now if after this post there will be more..... (sorry neighbourhood). Now waiting for the garden to be sorted out so I can display my bird friends.
And while on the subject of the laws of attraction,. remember the raffia hula umbrella that I wanted:
Well well well, I only popped in to a shop yesterday to find they had them on sale reduced from £25 to £6! Don't know if this reflects the demand on these ;o) Of course I took it home but not in red, oh no, in blue baby yeah! Perfect for the little man to sit under and have pictures taken which he will be embarrassed of when he hits his teens :o).
Now where did I hide those life size garden gnomes and plastic wishing well.....

I have always wanted flamingos in my garden but a groovy blue parasol to match-AMAZING! Get some matching blue mdf and some bamboo poles to make a cheesy bar to match and you have my perfect garden.
ReplyDeleteI love the flamingos, and the umbrella, very much. You now need a huge cocktail and Club Tropicana on the radio LOL :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Kylie is definitely right, 2 ARE better than 1. I must see about trying to fashion some legs for the two I've got who are lying around literally legless in our garden.
ReplyDeletemwahahahaha...well done, Scarlett! now you got a couple of those gorgeous flamingos, i'd love to be your neighbor and content to look at those birds everyday! hehehe...and the raffia umbrella from £25 to £6????!!no kidding?!! the sweet little man under the blue raffia umbrella that you bought would look so adorable!!!! well when he grew up he could just lie that it was taken in somehwere like Hawaii or something hahaha (boy i miss your post!)
ReplyDeleteThose flamingos are dead cute.
ReplyDeleteWe had one of those umbrellas but in pink and then i went and broke it,sob sob,i am a clumsy sod i do admit.

I hope they don't start breeding, best you keep them apart! Sat under one of those umbrellas at a roadside cafe the other day, immediately thought of you!
ReplyDeleteHi Scarlett! Ohh, sounds like you had a great trip! And about those flamingos...I have two of them as well. LOL I have them at the campground by our travel trailer. Nothing says "I want to be your favorite neighbor" than 2 pink flamingos hanging out in your yard!
ReplyDeleteAhhh see that's just so romantic... they couldn't be parted - it's just like in Gnomeo and Juliet!!
ReplyDeleteVictoria xxx
hahahaha - I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your flamingo has found a little friend - perhaps some day there will be a flock of pretty flamingos! Oh no, now I can't get that song by the Kinks out of my mind!
ReplyDeleteLiz
Aww Beaky's true love migrated just to be with him! You need a tiki bar in one corner of the garden now ;-)

ReplyDeleteThe flamingo are great, nothing ever happens like that to mexxx
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! What a marvellous mistake on their end haha! So peeeerty!
ReplyDeleteWe plan to start on our garden next year after we've done the living room. I'm definitely going to be grabbing myself some pink flamingo lovelies to stand against my trellis of pink and red roses I am planning on having on the back wall!
I wont be having any gnomes but definitely plenty of green man garden ornaments to watch over my garden and keep it growing nicely! xxx
haha lucky you! 2 for 1. & Who doesn't love flamingos?!
ReplyDeletexoxo mama wolf.
