Well, not exactly. Last Christmas Sue gave me Gottlieb. He is small enough so that no one will see him and his green attire will ensure that he blends in with the plants. As it has turned out he has become a house gnome. Seen here blending in with a ceramic horse, after a nose job – I think grandson got hold of him.
As a gesture of great thoughtfulness kindness, on my part and just so that Gottlieb does not get too lonely I bought Sue her very own gnome recently. He has been relegated to a pot in the garden, where he spends his day reading in the shade, from behind the stem of a ficus. (He does not have a name yet - any suggestions)
These two fellows were last seen watching the passing traffic from the balcony at an antique shop in Uitenhage. Not surprising that mother never bought into my dream!
My apologies walksfarwoman, I know you had Africa in mind when you invited me to join the group. I promse an African theme next week
