And it's so cute, in fact, that many people are displaying it inside their home instead of outdoors.

Its product description reads: "Bring a bit of countryside charm to your garden with our gorgeous Jardin Hattie The Highland Cow!
"This adorable cow adds a fun, rustic touch to your garden, balcony, or even indoors.

How to find gardening bargains
Doing up your garden to enjoy on warm and sunny days needn't cost the earth.
Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to get a top deal on items for the garden…
You can bag big savings on plants, shrubs and flowers, as well as gardening tools and furniture.
Many retailers have flash sales across entire seasonal ranges – often these promotions tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout.
Sign up to mailing lists of your favourite brands and you'll be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
Use a price comparison site to search out the best value items.
And keep a close eye on the specialbuys at Aldi and middle of Lidl drops which drop a couple of times a week and usually mean great value seasonal items for your outdoor areas.
If you are not in a hurry to buy an item, try adding it to the shopping cart online and leaving it for a couple of days.
Sometimes big brands will try to tempt you into the sale by offering you a discount.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying.
It's especially worth using sites such as Topcashback, Quidco and app Jamdoughnut when buying bigger ticket items such as garden furniture as you'll get a nice kickback.

Donegal musician reveals how performing before Johnny Logan led to a life in Lanzarote
A Donegal musician and publican has admitted he has seen some friends and family 'more' since his move to Lanzarote, admitting a move back to his native would only happen if there was 'some kind of upheaval worldwide.' Rory Gallagher, known musically as Rory & the Island, made the move to Lanzarote for the first time at the end of 2006 after he fell in love with a Scottish woman, Cara, while playing a gig there. The musician had been playing in a band called The Revs, who played before Johnny Logan at a festival in Lanzarote, with Cara part of the festival committee. Rory Gallagher, known musically as Rory & the Island, made the move to Lanzarote for the first time at the end of 2006 after he fell in love with a Scottish woman, Cara, while playing a gig there. Pic: Rory and the Island/ Facebook 'I met Cara that weekend, and we fell in love and the band was falling apart and I was going from Donegal to Dublin to Lanzarote for about six months. I took a chance and moved over at the end of 2006,' Rory told The pair enjoyed 12 years in the Spanish island before making the move back to Donegal following the arrival of their first son, Shay, in 2018. Rory and Cara tried their hand at opening a bar in Donegal before moving to Edinburgh, where Cara is from, and trying two more times. When the pubs didn't take off, Rory and Cara figured they should head back to Lanzarote as they were familiar with the area and knew what to do. The couple, who are also parents to Aidan, now run The Irish Viking Bar and also recently opened up Rory's Live Lounge, both in Puerto Del Carmen. The father-of-two admitted that while he loves being back in his native of Donegal, it would take 'some kind of upheaval worldwide politically or economically for us to move back.' 'We're here for the next ten years anyway, hopefully,' he said, 'To actually move back for good, I think at this stage we're in a bit too deep. Especially our older son, he's finally getting settled in a school and coming to that age, he's very aware. Naturally, Rory confirmed it was his friends and family that he missed the most about Donegal but reasoned that he has seen some of them more since he emigrated as 'you kinda go out of your way to meet up.' He added that he also missed the 'green grass of Donegal.' 'After four or five months here of dead heat every day — I know that sounds like the dream — you do miss being able to walk wearing a jumper and a little bit of mist and fresh air. The air is that bit thinner over here,' he explained. The couple, who are also parents to Aidan, now run The Irish Viking Bar and also recently opened up Rory's Live Lounge, both in Puerto Del Carmen. Pic: Rory and the Island/ Facebook On the other side, the warmth was one of his favourite things about Lanzarote, with the musician noting it was 'easier to get motivation in the sunshine.' 'Even though you get motivated to do the wrong things like drinking cocktails,' he joked, 'I find actually that I was writing more music when I was back in Scotland and Ireland, I think that's why we've such a writing culture because a lot of the time you're stuck in your room so you have to be creative in different ways.' While the Viking and Rory's Live Lounge are both based in the busy tourist destination of Puerto Del Carmen, he lives about 15 minutes away from the town with his family, noting its the 'best of both worlds.' 'I like sitting in little random cafés and listening to people speaking Spanish and have their own culture and then there's the other side where I can go in and watch the Sunday Game in an Irish bar, and it's packed full of Irish people and we're all chatting,' he told Similar to Ireland, Lanzarote is facing somewhat of a housing crisis, with Rory detailing that AirBnB had taken over the Canary Islands leading it to becoming really tough to get onto the property ladder for young Canarians. Rory explained that when he first moved to Lanzarote in 2006 he was able to get an apartment for €300 whereas now the cheapest one-bed studio is around the €1,000 mark. 'It's trebled and the quality has gone down,' he said. While housing is similar to Ireland, smaller things such a bread, milk, fish, steak, fruit and veg are 'almost half the price,' while the low VAT [value added tax] on alcohol makes it considerably cheaper also. 'I could go out for lunch and get a two-course meal and two glasses of wine and might only spend maybe €18,' Rory said, 'That's unheard of in Dublin.' The Donegal musician has been known as Rory and the Island since 2010, admitting 'I can't really use my own name because of Google.' He explained: 'Once you Google Rory Gallagher there's like six million pages of the actual Irish legend, so I went for Rory and the Island.' The name is also a homage to the island of Lanzarote.

I was 15 when my nude pics were leaked – grown men sent them around at the football club & everyone blamed ME
LIKE many young girls, Jess Davies wanted to impress her school crush and decided to send him an explicit photo of herself. Little did the 15-year-old know that he would send it around the school and she would become a victim of image abuse. 2 Jess Davies revealed her nude photo was leaked at just 15-years-old Credit: Instagram/jessdavies "That image got bluetoothed around my school, and then it got shared around my hometown, which was a small hometown in Wales, everyone knows everyone," she explained on the Image-based sexual abuse is a criminal offence, it's when someone takes, shares, or threatens to share sexually explicit images or videos of a person without their knowledge or consent, and with the aim of causing them distress or harm. This can include digitally altered images, also known as 'deepfakes' - something Jess has gone on to lobby the government to include in the Online Harms Safety Bill. Now 32, Jess has opened up about the trauma it caused and more shockingly, how she was blamed for the abuse. READ MORE REAL LIFE STORIES She revealed that once the photo had circulated in her hometown, it was then shared to grown adult men on the local football team. Instead of seeing Jess as a victim, whose private photo was shared without her consent, people blamed her. "Everyone knew my age because it was a small town, and yet, the whole narrative was around how it was my fault," Jess added. "That I shouldn't have sent it, what kind of girl are you? Most read in Fabulous "There was never any conversation around why are men in their twenties and thirties passing around a child's image?" Jess was left as a teenage girl worrying about how to navigate the situation, and she decided she had to laugh it off. 2 Now, she advocates for sexual abuse victims Credit: Instagram/jessdavies Vicky Pattison shares deepfake porn clip of herself as she warns of dangers on C4 doc She revealed that boys in year 7 would run up and ask for a hug as they had seen the image as well. "I was laughing but secretly, this was humiliating," she said. In the end, her parents also found out about the image, as her nan was told about it from one of the men on the football team, where the image was being circulated. Now, as Jess has gotten older, she realises that the way people treated her for the image was not okay and that she was held more accountable than the grown men sharing the image. It has now led Jess to become an advocate for female rights and sexual abuse. Her BBC documentary 'Deepfake Porn: Could You Be Next' was used to lobby the UK government to criminalise deepfake porn. Jess also has a new book, No One Wants To See Your Dick, a guide for surviving the digital age to help us understand and tackle online misogyny and question society's understanding of consent.
