Wilf's always been a big fan of mucking in and trying out new things. The fact that Wilf's been spotted not only helping out in the garden, but playing football, painting serene watercolour scenes and, of course, whittling his Woodland Friends figures proves that this gnome is an outgoing one, always willing to explore new horizons.
So it should come as no surprise that Wilf will soon be trying his hand at a few new hobbies, all of which will feature in a brand new series of figures, due out later this year. Wilf's already dropped a few image hints on social media, shared again here, but he's remaining tight lipped on just what's to come for the Woodland Wilf series. He is, however, willing to drop a couple more teasers.
Garden gnomes recently made their debut at the Chelsea Flower Show, when the event's 100 year ban on 'Mystical Creatures' was temporarily lifted as part of its centenary celebrations. Whilst this did of course allow for Wilf and his fellow gnomekind to frolic amongst the likes of Alan Titchmarch, David Domoney and Her Royal Highness, he strongly opposes the suggestion that gnomes are anything like 'mythical' or 'fictional' beings. His bruised knees - a result of chasing down the frogs to get back his hat - feel rather real when he wakes up every morning.
Nevertheless, Wilf's game for a laugh, and for those who do feel gnomes belong amongst the ranks of Tolkienesque fantasy, his new wand should prove a particular delight...
In fact, some would say Wilf may have 'Seen the Light'!
