It was a fun time at Struan Farm this past weekend. Ella, Livvy, and Charlie visited with Daniel and Sarah. Best of all, we had some great names suggested for the gnomes. It was hard to choose between them all, but decisions were made, prizes awarded. The gnomes were then transported by tractor and trailer up to the grove of tawa trees near the new house site, where they will hide out.
Here's Ella & "Stuffy:"
Here's Livvy and "Tico:"
And last but not least, here's Charlie and "Ringo." Note: Charlie is the taller one hugging Ringo for dear life. And yes, they do seem to be wearing similar shirts!
The prizes were Seedling's "Colour Me Gnome kits." Everyone got to take home a kit to colour smaller gnomes in the colors of their gnomes at Struan Farm. Pretty cool. I'd read about Seedling's gnome kits in the NZ Herald. They provided them to the Chelsea Flower Show, where a number of gnomes were decorated by various English celebrities and auctioned off to benefit charity. Read more about that here.
Stuffy, Tico and Ringo seem pretty happy in the tawas. They're hoping that Ella, Livvy and Charlie come back soon to play.
