C&B Gnome rescue

Well the mermaid has swum away down the greenaway. Hopefully to better home and not a victim of vandalism.

Did she get separated from her shoal or was she lured up the river Lune and abandoned by her fickle lover? Some say she swam up to lure unsuspecting kayakers for a tasty midnight feast. Will we ever know? Will Winifred ever reveal her secrets?

Well you can't keep a good gnome down. In true hippy fashion our lad said if you can't beat those pesky themed bars....so he made his own dedicated to real ale and cider. Watch out for the grand opening.

We receive many calls for aid but this one was truly heartbreaking. Someone pulled this poor fairies wings off. Luckily her sister found her and tried everything to cheer her up including buying her a seesaw. But nothing could make up for losing the loss of her ability to fly, she was spiralling into depression when she was brought to us. Since then we have worked hard on both her physical and mental health until finally she was able to share her pictures and her story. She will be looking for a quiet home with a secure garden soon.

Well there I was a happy friendly greeter, welcoming people to relax, socialise and have a pint or two. Then suddenly a pint of real ale was no longer good enough, oh no it had to be over priced craft ale, marshmallow stout with a hint of desperation. Beer gardens were out of fashion, it was all wine bar bistros and pink prosecco cocktails. Gnomes like me tossed on the scrap heap yesteryear whilst the high healed glitterati soaked up all the flavoured gin. Well I might be down on my luck now, but just wait. When your gin palaces collapse you will be begging me to come back with a nice pint of Landlord.

Lovely walk around the village dropping of a few rescues and checking up on previous rehomes.

25/11/2022

Well this little fella has been deployed. Remember if you need a gnome rehoming or you would like to offer a gnome a good loving home, please get in touch.

Don't do it

17/11/2022

Well this little guy needed a lot of help. He came to us a broken angry gnome. He told us how every day he saw fewer fish to catch, the river turning brown and black with sewage until everything died. He said his owners wouldn't listen, said he was lazy when he couldn't bring back any fish. Finally he had enough, he snapped his fishing rod and left. He was found wandering lost and hungry, until a kind person brought him to us. Now he wants to dedicate his life to making sure the world is better for other gnomes. Climate Action gnome will be off looking for a green home soon.

These two little cherubs were lost and lonely. Apparently they had been abandoned in the woods by a wicked step father. After a few weeks of good food and a warm bed they have got their colour back. Now they are looking for a nice forever home. Any ideas?

"No, I'm not making a rude gesture. Some bu**er stole my fishing rod."
This poor little fella came into our rescue yesterday. He looks a little battered and worse for wear but he seems a chipper little fella. I'm sure with a little soup and some love we will have back on the road.

28/10/2022

Well this little fella is ready to welcome trick or treaters or maybe not 👹😈🧛🧙 muahaha.

27/10/2022

This poor little fella came to us with a broken foot. The Gnome doctor has fitted him with a cast and told him to keep the weight of it. But he is eager to get back out there.

Jazz finally found a new home. Good luck little fella.

Unfortunately it's not just gnomes that need rescuing.

18/10/2022

Hello my name is Dave and I'm in recovery. I was originally a superhero...but then along came Buzz lightyear with his flashy lights. I was abandoned, shoved outside at the back of the shed, forgotten, neglected and finally abandoned. A hero with no one and nothing to save. I took to smoking grass, eating mushrooms, trying to numb the pain. Eventually I almost overdosed on weedkiller. That's when C&B gnome rescue found me. They took me in, helped me to get clean, gave me the time to discover my inner gnome. They didn't push me to be a super hero. I wasnt expected to save anyone but myself. I chilled out, listened to Caravan and Gong. Found inner peace. Now I'm ready to just chill and relax and enjoy my second chance at life.

16/10/2022

Remember C&B gnomes never put a healthy gnome down. If you know of an unloved, abandoned gnome that needs TLC and even perhaps some rehab. We know it's not easy being abandoned, that gnomes will do anything to survive the betrayal. We don't judge we simply offer love and space for gnomes to recover and find their true inner self. We help them to heal and recover until they are ready to move on. Either to a forever home or life as a community gnome. If you know of a gnome that needs our help please contact us.

Well I wasn't sure if Little Jaz was ready to move into a new home yet. He was still struggling with what he had been through. But he assured me it was time to move on. That's how he ended up at the Station Hotel today. I would love to know where he ended up so if you know and are able to share a photo of him with his new family that would be ace. We at C&B Gnome rescue wish him all the best for the future.

The latest rescued gnome. Remember emos aren't just for Halloween...they need love all year round.

14/10/2022

Hello my name is Jaz. I used to be a treasured part of the family, I thought I was valued and loved. Then one day I was just abandoned. Left in an overgrown garden to rot. Things were bleak...I took to self harming, anything to distract me from the pain inside. Until finally I couldn't carry on anymore. That's when Caton and Brookhouse gnome rescue took me in. Cared for me. Helped me to find my inner self. They accepted me scarred as I was. They gave me shelter, clothes, time to heal. Now I'm ready to start the next part of my journey. I hope there is a family out there willing to take me in and give me the love I need.
