The Importance Of Gnomes
      #1899 - 04/07/2008 23:33

Hello everyone

I’m sure like me you are a garden gnome enthusiast and have fishermen, wizards and even astronauts peeping at you from every corner of your outside arrangements.

I was originally pulled towards the lure of the mystical little creatures after hallucinogenic experience at a church garden party back in the 70s when a suspect solution was dropped in the drinks of the guests. I held a conversation with one gnome in particular who was extremely polite and courteous and was particularly insistent that I help him exterminate a nearby pigeon who had been defecating on him periodically. I naturally obliged using a slingshot, borrowed from the local vicar’s son. That coupled with a fascination of the silent ‘G’ has pushed me to enter this forum topic.

I would like to see more gnomes featured in the Ideal Home garden features. They just add such character to any space and I consider them to be of the utmost class and sophistication. Each one has its individual personality and charm- so come on Ideal Home- lets have a few more of the little fella’s to brighten up our lives!

Mmmmm...................you're the person that keeps plugging the 'Enchanted Doorways site, and more recently, another site involving pixies and fairies. I would agree there's nothing wrong with escapism, however, I do object to some one quite clearly taking the p.......ss!
