      I didn't think they could be bought. I thought they just turned up.

        I know were you can see them (friends - pixies, not gnomes used to live nearby) but not sure if they sell gnomes these days

          I believe the sale of Gnomes has dwarfed over the years.:dunno::snork:

            Thank you Scrungee, absolutely brilliant, have you been there?



            I think you might be right, hence my post


            Tried Gnomebase, they sold out on Black Friday


            They do- Miss Jiff wrote a poem for one that just turned up

              I've been to the Gnome Reserve, you have to wear Gnome hats.

              There's a Gnome's Graveyard there :yikes:

                Can anyone take there beloved Gnome there for burial and can you write your own epitaph for them?

                Not sure, they might be open to negotiation?

                  For a joke I bought 2 garden gnomes from a discount warehouse , only 99p each . I put them in the garden until Mrs H found them and told me to get rid . I would remove them for a week and then put them back in a new place , much to MrsH's annoyance and my amusement. She then said the gnomes go or I go , after a couple of days to think this offer over the gnomes were dispatched to the gnomes Valhalla . :biggrin:
