Relaxing by the pond after playing a gig at the faeries full moon party.
Santa made a special appearance - but shush keep it quiet!
He shouldn't have come out until September.

Norman's coming home.
I'm thinking about going home.
No, I'm not missing the bad weather. I've heard from some swallows who spent the summer at my house - they dropped in here for a comfort stop on their way to warmer climes for the winter - that my people are missing me. And I'm feeling sad because nearly all of my little garden friends have been in therapy since I left them behind.
I just can't have that on my conscience. A gnome of my standing has to accept his responsibilities.
And you know what? I'm kinda missing them too. Ahhh . . .
So after enjoying months of wandering, I've decided to do the right thing. I've put the winter skiing on hold, and I'm headed for home.
BUT I HAVE GREAT NEWS.
I have a brilliant idea that I can't wait to get started, so I have to get back into my office - hope no field mice have moved in - because I need the jungle telegraph to send out the word that I will be holding auditions soon for my new boy-band GNOMES 'R' LOUD.
I will be looking for a Leprechaun, a Pixie and an Elf to join my group. Of course, I may need some faeries as backing singers and dancers too. Rock on Norman!

Norman - The Gnome
The weather has been kind to us in the past few days in the UK, so you can understand that we’ve spent some time in the garden...not actually doing anything practical, of course, but making lots of plans for the coming summer.
Our favourite place to stand and plan is beside the pond, next to Norman, one of our gnomes.
We love Norman and always tell him what’s going to be happening in the garden over the summer. Yesterday was no exception. We told him about the apple tree that’s going to be planted for Katie our horse, and the additional lavender plants that are coming.
So....can you imagine our horror when, this morning, we looked out and saw that Norman was missing!!!!
At first we thought he had toppled into the pond. But no! In his usual place something white glinted in the early sunshine. I rushed outside to check things out and there it was....a brief message scrawled on an envelope...it was so simple...he’s always been a gnome of few words, always preferring to listen.
Well... the little blighter was certainly listening to us yesterday, because as well as discussing the garden we talked about the weather, especially the awful wintry forecast that we’d heard on ITV for the coming weekend.
So...as we see it....It’s all down to Bob Johnson’s wintry weather forecast! (He’s the local ITV weather man) he’s our fave forecaster. Obviously Norman’s taken Bob’s forecast to heart and gone to find some sunshine!
We are so worried. Our Norman’s gone off somewhere - BUT WHERE???
Gone Gnoming - that was all his note said. BUT his little gnome passport that he keeps under the gooseberry bush is missing! So he could be heading anywhere in the world.........
If you think that you might have seen Norman, then do please let us know. Take a good look at his photograph - we don’t want any mistakes!
His friends are worried sick, and it looks like they might set out to find him.
Oh dear, then what will we do?
