The shopping centre near where my daughter lives has been plagued with gnomes! Over the last 2 weeks they have been appearing overnight on top of buikldings, supermarket roofs, garages and shops and banks. Spotted about 50 today.

I'm still chuckling - must hunt down some more tomorrow - shame I don't have a good telephoto lens - also, they would look better if the sky was blue like the last few weeks!

Thats funny, reminds me of the time we
had our big ice cream cone stolen from
outside the shop and it was found
sitting on top of the factory just down
the road Laughing
