Gnoming..

  By , , ,

Roped my Brother in to pull off a prank that started October 2012. Under the cover of night we took a little trip over to our cousins place with a little addition to their garden. This is one of four Gnomes now residing in their garden and they have no idea on how they got there.. well until now. It’s time to come clean.

It means I can get something smaller, more ‘fuel efficient’ and something that doesn’t handle, well, like a station wagon…… Continue reading
