They were relieved to spot him chatting with the garden wildlife…

Gnome
…and frolicking in the Saxifrage

Relief
They were very relieved…and are glad that the garden is still an attractive habitat for their local gnome and other endangered species. They might make it even more delightful and build a little pond for him to go fishing in…

Quimper Hittys 
Phew! Sounds like a close call. Poor Floradora, she looks rather anxious in that first photo, and relieved in the last one.
Floradora was very anxious – she is quite fond of our venerable, but reclusive garden gnome! It was a relief to see him!
As a Gnome-ophile myself, I am relieved to know that all is well in the Gnome world đŸ™‚
I haven’t heard of whether there is a gnome shortage in Victoria…Floradora is going to investigate further!
So fun. I was doing some dusting for a friend earlier and lo and behold, there were two gnomes on a certain shelf and one did have a fishing pole in hand. He had caught a boot!
We’ll have to build a pond first, and then see whether we can stock it with boots for our gnome!
Our Hitty’s have many gnomes for friends. They both share a love for nature and taking care of it most seriously.
We are kind of fond of them here too – perhaps they are cousins of the Tomtens that my grandmother used to tell us about?
Oh what a relief!! So happy that your gnome is well and happy. We have no garden gnomes here (at least none that we know of). Hopefully we will find one this spring. , do you have any tips for attracting them ?
Perhaps you have reclusive or shy gnomes? I have heard that putting milk out in a saucer works for tomtens to entice them to stay, but I am not sure about the ones in your country! Possibly a pond stocked with old boots?
Quick, get Eddie Grundy on the case!! ( The Archers, BBC Radio4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/6jxVtMJBfPx0hzTFbtQKGx/eddie-grundy )
I loved listening to the Archers when I lived in Hampton Wick in the 1980’s…glad to hear the Grundys are still up to their old tricks!
Too funny! It is a British crisis đŸ™‚
I thought it was very funny, and I think that it’s good to look for the light-hearted stories among the chaos!
