G.W agreed that homes needed to be found for all and they would contact that lady in Morecombe about the possibility of Amelia moving there,  G.W, said that Grandma could come and live with them and over a period of time he would find room for many more, but let get grandma over here first said G.W. Grumpy at that moment got very excited announced I am off now to relate the news to Grandma and help her to pack.  Wait said G.W. we aren't quite ready for her as she needs a bed.  Oh that ok said Mr.Silly she can have mine and I will sleep on the sofa.  When Grumpy arrived in Gnomesville there was mayhem as the diggers had been going all day and everyone was holding their heads and several groups were in a huddle.  "Now what is going on here? " Robin the Red was siting with his brothers getting more and more agitated.  Robin Rainbow and his gang were completely engrossed in a conversation planning to rob the diggers of part of the machinery so it wouldn't function and Earth Ernest and friends were planning on moving to Somerset as they had heard of a lovely family who liked outdoors things and thought maybe they would welcome him and his gang.  Poor Grandma was sitting and shaking all over in between sobbing that her head hurt.  Amelia had taken to her bed.  Well that settles it we must all get a move on and find more homes, but first all of you help me and we can pack enough for Grandma to move tonight.  At that Grandma's eyes grew bigger and she smiled.  It was the first time Grumpy had seen her smile for ages. Robin the Red began singing loudly totally out of tune as usual.  Earthy Ernest was very excited and said loudly he had hope the first person to get moved would be Grandma.  Soon all was ready and they began to say their goodbyes.  There were so many tears accompanied by  hugs and as they sped off a big cheer went off in gnomesville.  By the time they arrived at G.W's home it was dark and G.W's "Now what have we here" he said. 

Yes homes will be found.

G.W was at a total loss at what to think there was soot all over the floor.  He gently picked up Mr. Silly and carefully began to wipe off the soot.  Got out the milk and cookies and said "Well what have you two been up to and how did you get like that Silly.  Mr. Silly's eyes looked down and G.W. thought he caught sight of a tear.  Grumpy in a loud voice said  "As usual he was not looking where he was going" and added "he fell head first down and chimney feet in the air and crow........" he then started to laugh uncontrollably and rolled around the floor holding his tummy.  "Now tell me what happened" said G.W. Mr.Silly began to relate the story of the plan at the meeting to find homes for all the gnomes and that they had both been so eager to home back to ask if he would help.  I was just keen to get back so we could send a gnome wire.  "It was then I had my accident" he said.  G.W chuckled quietly to himself and sat looking very pensive just for a moment.  Then announced "That's a lot of gnomes" and add after a few moments "why not, lets try to find them all nice homes".  "Well its Grandma we are worried about" said both Silly and Grumpy in chorus adding "as the noise of all that machinery in giving her headaches.  Grumps looked sad and he said "She is an old lady and remembers the meadow long before we were here".  "She can some and live here as I need someone to keep you gnomes in order".  "What about Amelia she was so depressed.  Moreover she was convinced nobody would want her"  Grumps got quite sour faced at this point and said "Well her trouble is she thinks she is ugly"  and Silly added "and she isn't she is lovely, but she does do such daft things".  At that point both Grumpy and G.W, started laughing.  Mr. Silly said "What is so funny" and began to relate the story of when Amelia lost herself in the bluebell wood.  "What about that nice lady in Morecombe who has gnomes living there already?  Yes we will ask her.  The very next day Mr.Silly and Mr.Grumpy sped off on their gnome sticks to tell Grandma Gnome the news and help her pack.  When they announced she would be leaving Gnomeville then tears began to flow and Grandma Gnome herself began to sob.  She suddenly pulled herself up and  stop announcing it would be the best thing, but she would be there for all meeting.  They also told Amelia she might be travelling to Morecambe and she shook her head saying "Where is that and will she like me?"  Silly said "You will like it as its by the sea and she will love you"

"
Mr.Grumpy and Mr.Silly got on their gnomesticks and zoomed away wondering what G.W's reaction would be.  Mr. Blue was shouting loudly at them "Please find us all homes as these drills have given me an awful headache" and "Me too" added Mr.Redman. "There are an awful lot of gnomes needing homes" said Grumpy and at that Mr. Silly sighed and almost hit a tree with his gnomestick.  "For goodness sake Silly be more careful and watch out". At this Silly shot off and zoomed ahead proclaiming "Critics, critics why does everyone criticize me".  The next thing he knew was he had landed head down feet dangling out of the chimney.  He screamed loudly "Grumpy help! Pleasssssseeeee help!" Grumpy started to giggle, then his laugh became louder and louder.  Mr.Silly's feet were going all over the place.  Just at the moment a crow landed next door to Grumpy and said "what have we going on here".  "It's my friend Mr. Silly he wasn't watching where he was going and hit the chimney and went down head first." "Oh my goodness" said Crow said adding "You gnomes ought to watch where you are going"  By this time Mr. Silly was spluttering "Friend mmmmmh!! I don't think so or you would help me".  "Now how are we going to get you out of this one" said Grumpy scratching his forehead and looking as though the whole of his world had collapsed.  Mr. Grumpy and Crow sat on the roof looking at one another.  "I have an idea" said Crow.  "I saw a piece of  string the other day and maybe its still there and we could" "said Crow continuing  "Tie it on his feet and then some of my mates and I could haul him up"  Grumpy looked at him adding "That's a great idea".  Crow flew off and for what seemed like an age, although it was only five minutes returned with a flock of his friends and Grumpy tied the string to Mr.Silly's feet and then suddenly without any warning the crows all at once took the string in their beaks and started to fly upwards with Mr.Silly head down dangling from the string and hovering over the roof.  He was squealing and all this was too much for Grumpy he started giggling loudly.  As he rode his gnomestick to the ground waiting to help Mr.Silly disentangle himself.  Eventually and very gently the crows lowered him to the ground and without another word flew off before anyone could say thank you.  Mr.Silly was covered in soot and at this point Mr.Grumpy said "And we are going back to ask G.W. a huge favour and look at you. .....black from head to toe" He gently tried to brush away the soot from Mr.Silly whose eyes had filled with tears "Oh no!!!" adding " No blubbering I can't take that" said Grumpy.  Grumpy searched around and finally found Mr.Silly's gnome stick.  They both rode off heading for G.W's house and then knocked on the door looking  quite sorry for themselves.  At that moment G.W opened the door and his mouth dropped open.  When he recovered he looked at them and said "Ok what happened"

Another meeting was called in Gnomesville the following weekend and they all sat around looking quite despondent especially Grandma Gnomey who let a rather large tear fall every so often followed by a deep sigh.  She had heard from Grumpy that G.W. would be delighted to have her moved to his abode, but her main concern at this very moment was to help find homes for the rest of Gnomesville and there were so many of them.  Mr.Pinkears grinned from ear to ear he was yearning to move and had had wanderlust for some while as the drilling had made his head shake so violently his ears had gone even pinker.  "I would love to live by the sea" he sigh "Oh don't start on that one again" said Mr.Silly.  It's all right for you lot you are living with that nice G.W. man who feeds you honey cookies and milk.  Moreover my friend Mr.Peppermint has gone to live with that nice lady who thinks he is cute.  They all starting tittering when Grumpy added and anyway with the colours you where you would stand out so much a seagull would probably think you were some kind of tasty morsel.  By this time poor Pinkears was look very despondent as they were all giggling.  I am sure someone will be only too pleased to adopt you said "Mr.Silly adding "You always brighten our day with your rainbow colours. " Now lets be sensible " said Grandma Gnomey.  "What we need is a plan" said Mr. Posh.  At that moment Mr.Pepperment arrived on his gnomestick his face cover in chocolate.  Mr. Pinkears squealed with delight on seeing his friend and then proclaimed loudy "Yes we need a plan"  "The best thing " said Mr.Grumpy "is that I speak to G.W as he knows lots of people and I am sure that there are many other humans like him who would like to give one of us a home" "That sounds very sensible to me" said Grandma Gnomey who had been polishing her gnomestick like mad.  "Ok" said Grumpy I will talk to G.W. tonight.
