Fish & chips! Fish & chips! Fish & chips!

Not at that place. Waaaay over priced.

I think the screech owl sanctuary is a part of gnome world. Personally, I would love to have fish and chips served to me by a recovering screech owl in a shelter run by gnomes.

Google maps showing 22 min walk between the sites

I was hoping for a gnome wonderland but it's just a campsite with garden gnomes :(

You could get a fun park in on the same day though.

That is disappointing. I've decided to believe that the garden gnomes come to life when nobody is looking at them and freeze when somebody sees them.

I think you’re confusing Garden Gnomes with Weeping Angels 😯

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Perhaps that phenomenon is not unique to Weeping Angels and is common among a larger taxonomic group/clade of anthropomorphic, seemingly inanimate, beings. Further research is needed, and evidence is scant. Is it because it's a silly theory, or is it because researchers keep disappearing?

Owls, easy.

I always wanted to visit these places, but it’s a long drive back North from the peninsulas. Must be really rough on the gnomes living in mortal terror that they could be snatched by talons at any moment.

Both: port, and starboard

Gnome World is a caravan and camping site with a fair few ornamental gnomes about.

Screech Owl Sanctuary and Animal Park (which is just a couple it minutes up the road by car) is the superior choice.

Go for the Owls and sent the letter up with a rumor that the De-Gnoming procedure is about to start. They are not that bright. They will run down to you.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Owls are real. Gnomes, fortunately, are not. Easiest decision of my life.

I only know gnomes from this documentary from the 80s. Perhaps it was propaganda from Big Gnome, but they seemed nice...

This is like Sophie’s Choice all over again
