| Our first visit was nearly 10 years ago when, on a weekend holiday in nearby Somerset, our daughter Susan saw a tourist flyer listing the Gnome Reserve and insisted we had to see this. And we did. A labour of love and amusement by an elderly woman, who greets you in her studio where she models and paints tiny souvenir gnomes, the reserve is a 4-acre woodland and wildflower garden dotted with all varieties of gnomes living their lives protected from those who admit they "hate gnomes." |
 |
| Gnome hats are mandatory for visitors, and since overnight the weather had turned blustery and chilly they were welcome. |
 |
| Gnomes of course like to fish . . . |
 |
| . . . music and dancing are popular pastimes too. |
 |
| Amusement parks are a fun day-out . . . |
 |
| . . . and transport is quite sophisticated. |
 |
| Gnomes can be helpful around the house too. |
 |
| Every morning my little gnome greets me on the shelf above the computer along with my smiling grandchildren |
