Mr Gnomes tail of his convention woes...




Poor mister gnome if you do remember and why should you not has been going to the gnome yearly convention, last years was, " how to stop a goat eating your home". Well at the time this information was invaluable for mister gnome as he was indeed struggling with such a situation, 

However this year the gnomes convention was about “How to get the most from your rhubarb". Well, how interesting is that who wouldn't want to go to that conference? Who indeed. in reality, he won't mind me telling you he really goes for the free biscuits. 

On this occasion, however, this was not a roaring success as it was Garibaldi.  Now if like me you don't know what a Garibaldi biscuit is, well, this is where you find me, dear readers, talking at the bottom of the garden about Garibaldi biscuits.

I said to mister gnome, "so why didn't you enjoy the gnome convention you love going all those free biscuits, and what are Garibaldi?

It turns out that mister gnome is not found of Garibaldi biscuits it's the raisins they get stuck in your teeth and would rather have had Bourbon Creams. and this did rather taint his enjoyment.  Although the speakers were very good this year he did so enjoy the lecture on " how to train you ladybird". as he thought that a good idea as they rather like to fly hither dither.




This is when I felt the burning furry stare from the kitchen window as I had forgotten to let Miss Furry out! In my excitement of seeing Mister gnome. That was followed by 'a tense episode' where Miss Furry was wiping at the window in her annoyance.

Mister gnome helpfully said, "I think she is trying to get your attention". I said "mee nooo". but I couldn't ignore it any longer.  I thought it best to let her out. off I trotted to the back door. I thought, oh dear Miss fussy pants will be annoyed. I will never hear the end of this on and on she will go... 




I opened the door to a stern-looking Miss Furry and with a haughty "humph",  she was gone ... shouting over her shoulder "I don't like Garibaldi either if anyone is interested!" ... oh dear and she doesn't even know what they are.

Helen Lewins is an author. Helen was born in Northumberland but due to the closure of the coal mines, her parents moved the family to North London to take up work as publicans. After school, she started an apprenticeship with an electrical engineering medical company where she worked for many years as a Service Engineer. With a calling for something else more creative she went travelling in the UK and worked the summer in a hotel on the Jurassic Coast. This led her to study hospitality management and after graduation, she took on a role as a hotel Manager back in Northumberland. Then her life changed forever and along came her beautiful son. It became obvious early on that he was developing at a different rate from his peers. He had limited speech until he was eight years old. Eventually, after quite a long journey he was diagnosed with Autism. That is when Helen started to write about Miss Furry to entertain her son as it was based on their pet cat. It has been a very personal journey for them both and Helen hopes that Miss Furry brings joy to other children. Helen and her Son live in Northumberland with Miss Furry who does indeed spend her days patrolling the fence.
