Saturday 10 Feb:

Gnorman goes back to his kiwi roots at the Sheepskin & Footwear Factory Shop, where bopeep80 works. He was introduced to ladeda and bopeep and he thought they were lovely people, very witty and kind.

There was a lot of interest in Gnorman's story and people donated pieces of Kiwiana (lots of little pieces like bookmarks, an All Black Rugby bear figurine, Alpine Silk Lanolin, kiwi and lamb fridge magnets, a stuffed kiwi, photoframe and tiki salad servers.....oh yeah and some possum fur nipple warmers to name a few.

A basket with all these things in will be auctioned at the end of Gnorm's travels. We have also received a Kiwi Monopoly game to be auctioned.


Gnorman is very outgoing and met a number of new friends. The Nelson Mail came and took Gnorm's photo (and mine, worse luck, I lost the coin toss ladeda and I had)

Hopefully his story will make the local rag.
