Kidnapped gnome returns from ordeal

Back in September “Barrington” the garden gnome disappeared from the garden of Eve and Derrick Stuart-Kelso where he had lived happily for over ten years, he was not seen again until now that is!

He appeared on the doorstop almost a year on from disappearing, he was ok but did have a note with explaining where he had been, the gnome was totally unharmed.

 As for the letter, it began:

'Hello! First of all I feel I should explain my prolonged absence. A gnome's life is full of time for reflection, and whilst surveying your garden one summer morning, I began to get itchy feet.

'I came to the conclusion that the world is a big place and there is more to life than watching the daily commuter traffic, and allowing passing cats to urinate on you.

'So I decided to free myself from the doldrums of the Shire and seek adventure. My travels have taken me across three continents, 12 countries and more time zones than I can possibly remember.

'There have been high points, low points, and positively terrifying points. But I have survived - small thanks to the companion with whom I have shared all these moments.'

The gnome had seen better days, but he was accompanied by photographic evidence of his travels, which make for an interesting photo album.
