Hitchhikers

You come across the nicest folk on the roads here. Perciful, or Percy as he liked to be called, was great company on my journey through Tuam. However, his bullfrog friend croaked and croaked … my ears are still ringing.

Snail’s pace

You may not think we gnomes need to put up with a lot of job pressure. You need to have patience in order to survive within a garden environment.

I just love my gnome sized iPod. I don’t know what I would do without it! Everybody sing!

I want to tell you a story
About a little man
If I can.
A gnome named Grimble Grumble.
And little gnomes stay in their homes.
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.
He wore a scarlet tunic,
A blue green hood,
It looked quite good.
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass
Fresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time.
And then one day – hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Hoooooooooray.
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn’t it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn’t it good?
Winding, finding places to go.
And then one day – hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Hoooooooooray.
Hooooooooooooooray.

(Pink Floyd, The Gnome)

World Cup Fever

I couldn’t help but to watch the England vs. Portugal match on the telly. England lost on penalty kicks … oh well, it’s not the Super Bowl.
