Roaming Gnoming

Holy Pixies, Elves, & Fairies!

We are the proud adoptive parents of a wee garden Gnome! The White Stuff (Clothing store) are having an "Adopt a Gnome"! We have gnamed our gnome Octavius, (Snow white had 7 then along came ours?) I'm sure locally he will be known by the vernacular "Tav the chav".

For £5 or £10 you too could be a Gnome Mummy or Daddy, assuming you see the fun in it too? The money raised goes to charity.

Official certificate of adoption.

The window models were so excited about sharing their living space with so many gnomes, they lost their heads!!

Gnome invasion.

After watching "Amelie" and the adventures of her father's globe trotting Gnome, after seeing Toca Rivera and his touring Gnomie, with Jason Mraz, who could fail to be enchanted by a Gnome?

So, ok, there are some creepy gnomes, and some scary gnomes, tacky gnomes, evil looking gnomes, some downright gruesome gnomes, but these little fellas are adorable! Look at their cute little faces!! (I'm sure they are princes who were bewitched by a wicked witch and turned to stone!!) Lets face it, last night was a magical night! Perhaps during meteor showers they come to life, live for a night of fun (Well they are all smiling!!) and turn back to stone??

They are by Gno means just tacky garden kitsch. (Oh yes they are!) They are delightful! fun, naughty (I'm sure) and well, look at them? Irresistible. Objet d'art du jardin perhaps? I jest. I fully intend to lead my son to believe there are fairies in the bottom of the garden, so why not have a resident gnome too? I can barely wait till October when we can bring him home!!!!

We may have missed the meteor shower last night, due to too much cloud cover and light pollution, despite having deck chairs at the ready! But it is nice to know that a falling star must have been wished on somewhere, by somebody.
