GNORMAN IN GNELSON

Sunday 11 Feb:

Well, Gnorman was bored to tears this morning, but it is hard trying to entertain a gnome and get your shopping and housework done. We promised him a local expedition in the afternoon, and took him for a walk in Isel Park at Stoke.

Samuel Marsden was one of the first settlers in the area, built a brick house and planted a heap of trees on his land. The trees are now 150 years old, and there are renowned rhododendren and azalea beds.

The annualTeddy Bear's picnic is held there.

Then, since it was so hot, we took him down to the Honest Lawyer (oldeEnglish pub) at Monaco and had some quiet beers there.

Gnorman scooped the top out of my Mac's Gold before I could stop him..sorry that the Gno to alcohol law has been breached, but YOU try stopping a hot and thirsty gnome!

It was fitting that he had a drop of the local brew though. :)
