Excerpt:
In the furthest corner of a large overgrown garden, lay an old metal watering can.
It had seen much better days but now it was coated in rust and a jagged hole was torn in its side. The hairy tentacle of a Bramble bush had wormed its way inside and sharp thorns, like knives, made the inside of the watering can a very dangerous place to live.
But the two little Gnomes were quite happy there. They had called the old watering can home for nearly three years now and thought it was just lovely.
