A fresh outfit for a cheery chap

I am a new subscriber to LandScape, but really enjoy each issue, as it always contains exciting articles for that month and season. I wanted to share with readers my new project, which was inspired by the craft letters and articles. My elderly neighbour gave me this garden ornament a few years ago, which had belonged to her late uncle, and it has always sat by the front door to cheer people who visit. During time spent at home, I looked more closely at it and decided to give its drab, tired appearance a new lease of life. I am really pleased with the result, and ‘Coco’ now looks so pleased and happy.
