No place like gnome

Just thought I would link the following ASDA advert as I have been trying to raise awareness of blood cancer and the fund raising that this wonderful pinball community are involved in - teenage cancer trust - blood red etc
The quick story is - Colin loves his first ever pinball machine - Indiana Jones - and it’s a must to wear his Indiana Jones hat when you play it - mooseman thought the Indiana Jones gnome in the ASDA advert looked like Colin and arranged the delivery of them ( mostly customised or sent with a lovely story ) to me when he was in hospital to make me laugh - I now have 33 of them plus 8 wee cheeky companions . Local papers - here in Scotland - are mentioning it but also the ASDA Facebook page etc -
Thank you everybody for your kindness and support - I have been overwhelmed - if I am not giggling my head or - I am crying with joy at people’s thoughtfulness - we are a lovely bunch - it’s been a tough year for some of us with illness and grief and we are all a bit bonkers but with hearts of gold

Every single gnome has come from a pinballer - just magic
