MADAM, A lost gnome has appeared in my garden and is obviously suffering from amnesia, he can't even remember what he has done with his fishing rod.

On Tuesday, March 18th, probably after a late St Patrick's night out, he must have been wandering aimlessly about looking for his home when he came upon three happy looking friends sheltering under a tree. He obviously decided to stay with them over night until his memory returned and he could go home again. As of yet his memory has not come back, so can you check your gardens to see if it is your gnome that has got lost on his way home.

Telephone Mike on 01989 564972 if you have any information about the gnome pictured sheltering behind his resident group.
