Beag Óg Bramblefoot

One of the nice perks of the London Underground is that gnomes are allowed to ride for free.

I decided this past weekend to take a trip over to London for the Mushroom Festival at Carluccio’s in Spitalfields Market. I had to store my little pickaxe in a locker before going through airport security.

Some of the fine folks in Germany have created a garden gnome made from flowers. If you follow this wee link you can fly to the garden gnome using Google Earth. Not quite the Great Wall, but still a site to behold.

From the little folks at Virtual Globetrotting …

This sounds like a lovely little holiday and look how happy the children are … though I would be smothered by that hat.

Set amid truly rural countryside between Bideford and Bude just 7 miles from the Devon Cornwall border. The 4 acre Reserve comprises woodland, stream, 30 yard pond, meadow and garden – home to 1000+ gnomes and pixies, and about 250 labeled species of wild flowers, herbs, grasses and ferns.

Gnome hats are loaned free of charge together with fishing rods, so you don’t embarrass the gnomes!

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.

I have escaped my evil kidnappers and am returning home to find my master. Together we can live in peace and harmony amongst the green hills of Ireland.

Now I just need to get that first class upgrade for a better choice of movies.

Erin Go Bragh!

Somewhere in a dark, dreary restroom at the ragged outer edge of civilization (perhaps New Jersey), a troubled soul cries out for help during a long night of debauchery.

Who can fathom the inner torments this poor gnome is enduring…?

Early yesterday evening, an unidentified garden gnome was spotted hijacking a Blue Angels jet over San Francisco. The jet then disappeared into the clouds, and authorities are still trying to locate it. If you have any information leading to the arrest of said garden gnome, please contact authorities immediately!
