Hi, hi.
Today sees the final of the World Cup and what better way to mark the sporting prowess of my country than with a weird goalkeeping gnome?
After taking my camera with me to a garden centre that was teeming with ornaments and not finding a single gnome amongst them ... I almost lost hope of finding one to cross off the Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt list [hosted by Rinda].
Until ... I found this in B&Q ...
No.2: A garden gnome
Needless to say it this was before England had exited the World Cup and while there was still a chance [although, my word, it must have been a slim one] that someone [but who?] would love gnomes and English football enough to shell out £14.00 for it!!
If your chosen team [or your sweepstake team] is in the final today I wish them/you every success! And if anyone's looking for a booby prize to give away to the losers ...
... I know somewhere that has a few gnomes going cheap ...
Julie :-)
