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

All That Gnome
I just loved snowy Chicago, particularly some of the sights around Millennium Park. I was told to get a hot dog at Wiener & Still Champion, but wasn’t disappointed by the wee dogs & burgers at Max’s.
New friends
I know it’s been quite some time since I posted, but I have been traveling quite a bit and don’t have a wee laptop. There are a few pics from the trip through Copenhagen which I’ll get up soon. Søren and I got along like a house on fire, but I could barely make out… Continue reading New friends
Murphy’s Law Overturned
Murphy’s Law isn’t the same anymore after Murphy from Gloucester got to take a wee trip around the world for seven months. I’d rather travel with my host family than some stranger, but for those lucky gnomes that get a professional vs. a trouble-maker, the spoils can be rich. I prefer the BBC coverage, but… Continue reading Murphy’s Law Overturned
Do you judge a gnome by his shoes?
A gnome elder once told me that you can judge a gnome by his shoes, so while passing through Dublin Airport I took the chance to get a wee shine. The nice humanfolk there even have a special gnome rate which is much appreciated.
Tucked
One of the other perks of travel is getting to sleep in a big human bed … I just don’t know what to do with all the pillows. Good night.
The only way to travel
As far as I am concerned, this is the only way to travel: tucked within a carry-on shoulder bag on a flight. There is nothing more disturbing than being stuffed into checked luggage, particularly amongst the soiled laundry on the return voyage. I do need to make a particular effort not to be spotted, but… Continue reading The only way to travel
Calendar boy
So much for wee calendars. I was relieved to finally get away on a trip and came across this while having breakfast in London. I’ll post a few more pics from the trip over the next several days.
Better take your longies, Jerome
Jerome. What an impressive traveler. I do admit to having a faint pang of jealousy. Antarctica. I’m not a huge fan of the cold and would particularly loathe a bit of frostbite on my nose. However, it would certainly be quite an achievement if Jerome was the first gnome to set foot on the South… Continue reading Better take your longies, Jerome
