In their last house my mum and dad had a bird bath just outside the patio doors. It was lovely to watch the birds coming and going, splashing about the having a drink, just yards from where you were sitting comfy on the sofa. Mum and dad were a little disappointed that their main visitors were pigeons, but you have to take what you can get!

I have never had a bird bath in my garden because, although I would love one, I just can’t face giving space to one of those great big gothic stone monstrosities or a tacky one with moulded birds around the edge. I tried to make my own with the door off a dismantled washing machine, but the birds just didn’t take to it and it was pretty ugly.

Which is why I’m pleased that Love Thy Space has offered me one of their stylish glass bird baths to give away to one lucky UK reader. They’re frost-proof, hand blown in Poland and made from 100% recycled glass as well! These dainty baths would no doubt attact much daintier and prettier birds than those enormous wood pigeons :)

Love Thy Space are happy to deliver this wonderful prize anywhere in the UK, so to be in with a chance of winning just email me which bird you’re most hoping to attract into your garden and why, together with your name and address.

The closing date for entries is midnight on 30th April, and the winner will be chosen at random. If you’re not lucky enough to win, then you can order your own petite glass bird bath from Love Thy Space for £25.
