    Ok I don't know if you all know about this little gnome tradition but legend says that if you promise a gnome you will build it a home you cannot break that promise or else you may be visited by a even more devious gnome or Snotgurgle.

    So when I read this
    http://www.gardenstew.com/viewtopic.php?p=31888#31888
    you can imagine I was over the moon. A new gnome home for little ole me!

    So Zuzu here is a list of things I want in my new Gnome Home:
    - A hammock
    - A 3 inch state of the art plasma TV
    - En-suite jacuzzi
    - Of course my own garden area within your garden. Or alternatively your whole garden
    - Oh yeah, a hammock
    - Hand crafted furniture. No Ikea
    - A 24 hour security system to guard me from Snotgurgles and other gnomes jealous of my new abode
    - A year's subscription to PlayGnome (am I getting greedy now?)
    - Did I mention the hammock?

    I know, I know I should ask for a little more but I'm a gnome of simple pleasures and I don't like to spoil myself.

    So Zuzu, when can I move in?

    See ZUZU that is what happens when you mock the afflicted. I am worried now if you have influenced Cajunbelle and I'm going to have to be the summer home in my garden what will he want there an gnome sized olympic swimming pool?

    Well Gnome, it's time to give up pretensions and get back to basics. I built you a fine simple home. In lieu of a jacuzzi I filled you some nice acorn caps with water. Of course you will have to share it with a toad and I don't mean wife.

    Hmmm it has potential Bethie I'll give you that. One requirement it would definitely meet is warding off jealous gnomes. Now I know you are just joking with me and the Gnome Home is located underneath in a plush interior decorated environment yes? Can't wait to see it. Shall I call over for a viewing say around 4pm? Have the chocolate biscuits ready.

    Oh no, noone would do that to you, wouldn't want you to get soft & lazy. The gnomehome would have to have a gym in the basement :setf_045: :setf_022: and a stable for your noble steed :setf_026:

    Yes everything must be top notch. Have you ever encountered a grumpy gnome? Not a pretty sight.

    Take the lid off the garbage can and he will move right in! If he gets grumpy, slam the lid back on!

    Oh, dear me!! :rolleyes: I think someone's getting a bit too big for his little gnome-y britches!
    You just settle down, or I'll go with the flow and build a Fairy House, after all,
    . . . much less demanding creatures, fairies, and if you don't get it quite right
    they can just tink it with their tiny wands.[​IMG]


    :smt064 Sounds like the Capt's got your number, my friend with the upturned boot toes.
