Yesterday His Lordship was up at 4.30am and gave us an awful fright because he got dressed, with no intention of going back to bed. It  was the middle of the night, and it appears he couldn't sleep. So much for our Gnome time. We were having a meeting to decide what we would do in the afternoon. The humans were going out and would not tell us for how long. They had an important mission in Christchurch, with her brother in hospital. 

They were away for a very long time, and we thought they forgot about coming home. Anyway, we headed out too for Gnome business. The area here is huge and we got up to all sorts of stuff. Playing hide and seek under neath the vegetables. Crickey, is was so much fun. It is amazing how much fun a Gnome can have and of course most of it is Gnome business only. No human saw us running across the grass as we were on the lookout as to when it was safe to do so. 

We do like how the humans look after that garden. They do a compost and use the camper's food waste, which we just love. After all the word Gnome means......Garding Nature Over Mother Earth. We have been trying to get some humans to take more care of our Earth, but this is a mission for a Gnome. I have got these two I live with trained correctly and recall one place we stayed where everything wasn't recycled. What a hurrah of a mess. They do not like that place for some reason and have no intention of going back.

A human arrived with some broccoli out of that garden today. This made the humans delighted to have such a fresh vegetable. I hid under one of those yesterday. They have enormous leaves making them a great hiding place for us.  

It appears it is lawn mowing day here. Neighbours get out and make this noisy contraption cut the grass. It fills the catcher fairly fast too and our little plot was not done last week. I watched His Lordship from the window, and he has done a great job. He looks pretty serious following behind this weird machine. The Mistress announces that it is great exercise for him.

Very serious business mowing lawns


On completing this mission, she gets him to set up the clothesline a little better. He likes to do odd jobs for her and makes her life a little easier. The mushy stuff continued today right in front of me. Too close to me too and had to cover my eyes with my book. I wish they did not do this, and I have told them too. They say like it or lump it. What can a mere Gnome say!

This afternoon His Lordships twin and family arrived with a couple of Grandchildren. Now I noted the twins were very quiet. Boy can females talk. They all hurt my ears. Some couldn't get a word in and chose to stay quiet. His Lordship being one and I am not allowed to say who else, but she knows who she is. A lovely girl too.....oopps.. Oh, I hope I don't get into trouble here. 

The faces on these people when they saw the caravan for the first time. I saw their faces and their mouths were wide open. It appears they had not seen a caravan like this one. My humans loved the family visit, and boy was it quiet when they left.

29/12/24 I have been unable to get on the computer for the past few days. The Mistress has been quite stroppy, and I am far from amused. She seems to pay more attention to the resident cat, who now sits on the arm of her chair. Today, she wrote an email to the cat's human family, and she told the cat this, so the cat put her paw on the Mistress's wrist while writing. What next, I ask you. These two are constantly chatting with each other, and each knows what the other is saying.  Regarding the birds outside, Tabitha is in complete control, with the birds screeching. She does have success at times, and sometimes the Mistress calls her to stop and come inside, which she does, of course.  For several nights now, she has enjoyed being brushed and sending Tabitha into a state of pure bliss. However, she doesn't spend time with me, and I get jealous. It is a tough life being a mere Gnome. Tabitha This cat waltzes past me during the night and is not aware I am watching her....

25/10/24 The humans are melting today and spilling everywhere, making this caravan untidy . They keep saying bad weather is coming, but they are wrong, as I can feel the fine weather in my bones. The onset of night seems to stir a restlessness in the humans. They toss and turn, their covers in disarray, creating a scene of disorder. Yet, this peculiar behavior only fuels my curiosity, prompting me to explore other aspects of this world. Amidst the snoring of other humans, I found myself drawn to adventure. Gizmo was having a grand time in the water feature, so I left him to it. I set out to find those pedal bikes I had seen the other day. I yearned to sit in them and dream of having longer legs and the mischief I could get up to. Being a mere Gnome is tough, but I'm always ready for a new adventure. Despite the challenges, I persevered. The night was long, the place vast, and the campers numerous. Some even left their smelly shoes outside their door. But I didn't let it get to ...

  10/2/25 Yesterday, the humans went out for the day, and we thought they forgot to come home. It was a lovely day, so we went to the vegetable patch. We had to go the back way, down two fence lines. There were humans around, and we couldn't be seen. It was such a long way for our little legs.  Someone dug in the garden, so we went in another direction, as it was huge, and we wouldn't be seen. This limited what we could do, however. Playing amongst the potatoes and tickling them under the pile of dirt was highly entertaining. Throwing them at each other made us fall over and lose our footing. A quick brush down made us sneeze as it was so dusty. Such hard work, we thought. When we had enough, we headed back via the long route. There were humans all over the place. When the coast was clear, we would get to the next place, hide in the shade, rest our weary legs, then move on to the next.  The humans I live with are getting tetchy about this caravan debacle. The Mistres...
