Re: Introducing Norman


He was first painted by my sister about 36 years ago now, when she was at school. Has been repainted a fair few times now and most recently by Molly about 5 years ago. Waiting for Lizzie to hold a paint brush for her turn, he needs a bit of a wash and brush up.

Re: Introducing Norman


What a quirky fellow!! He doesn't look half bad for being 36 years old!

His foot has been knocked off twice and cemented (I think) back on. He is solid concrete and weighs a tonne.

He has a hole drilled to the concrete betwen his right thumb and hand and holds a flag for occasions, he missed out on the wedding (I forgot)

Re: Introducing Norman


About 20 years ago he was "rebranded" as Stormin Norman. But has reverted back to plain old Norman for the last 10 years or more.

Re: Introducing Norman


Wonder if he gets a bit hot in that jumper? Does he have a hat on too? That's probably a good idea in the sunshine

We inherited a gnome here ..... so he's not as old as Norman but he's been repainted twice. It's terrible bad luck (or so I'm told) to try to get rid of a gnome. Would you say Norman is an "honorary" gnome?

Re: Introducing Norman


Love him ... and the backstory!

Never heard that about getting rid of a gnome!
