Well, truly Murphy’s law is one of luck now. My wee friend Murphy, who came to visit only briefly on his short trek around the world is apparently going to feature in his own storybook. I’m not jealous at all. Really. Really really. At least he still has that bit of clover I gave to… Continue reading Murphy’s Luck

Naked Gnomes
A West Midlands grandmother has been told to cover up three of her garden gnomes – because they’re naked. The cheeky statues, one of a man and two of busty women, stood outside Sandra Smith’s door for 15 years. But now Smith, 64, has had to drape little T-shirts over the ornaments after a neighbour… Continue reading Naked Gnomes
One day you’re in …
… and the next day you’re out. At least that’s what Heidi Gnome used to say on Project Tunic. I’ve been around for over a hundred years, so I’m still not entirely sure what the wee Independent article means by claiming we’re back. I had no idea that some gnomekind were desperate enough to turn… Continue reading One day you’re in …
Garden gnome saviour?!
I’m not so certain the entire gnome race needs a make-over from this man, Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen. I certainly like to vary the colours of my tunic from time to time, but heaven forbid I’d need to get down to heavy garden work in any outfit like that. I do have a wee pair of pick… Continue reading Garden gnome saviour?!
Potential arrest over garden gnome?
Poor Gordon. I assume there is a wee bit more to this story than just the placement of a garden gnome, though it would appear that Mr. MacKillop is receiving a lot of support from the public. Police may have better things to do than arrest civilians for placing garden gnomes on their property. I… Continue reading Potential arrest over garden gnome?
Under the sea
I’m not quite sure what to make of Gordon Mackie’s scuba gnoming venture. Is this some type of water boarding for gnomekind, or are my wee friends enjoying a new life under the sea? I didn’t hear any calypso music in the video but all the gnomes appear to have smiles on their faces. Water… Continue reading Under the sea
Brown Eyed Gnome
I’ve had a wee listen now and then to Van Morrison’s music, but had no idea he was into garden gnomes. Apparently during a performance in Philadelphia he mumbled something about a gnome outlet. Go Van! During “Ancient Highway,” part of a medley that also included “In the Afternoon” and “Raincheck,” he muttered something about… Continue reading Brown Eyed Gnome
Kidnapping still a garden gnome reality
No, that isn’t Gnomedini, the great gnome illusionist, but a representation of what a kidnapped gnome might experience at the hands of his captors. The sad truth is that gnomes continue to be abducted from perfectly good gardens, like that of Margaret Robertson. There are instances when garden gnomes are kept against their will, but… Continue reading Kidnapping still a garden gnome reality
Gnome consideration at all
I know the wee folks over at eHow are trying to be helpful, but I take a few issues with their 4 steps for preventing lawn gnome theft. Step 1 : Fat gnomes just can’t work as hard as more fit gnomes. We all have bellies as we enjoy the fruits of our labour and… Continue reading Gnome consideration at all
Hats off to Henry
Henry was one of those rare human folk who shared a great affinity for our work as we did for his care and creative flair. He must have a bit of gnome blood in him. What’s nice is that even though the Moray Council may not be able to benefit from him in the future,… Continue reading Hats off to Henry
