Autumn draws in, bringing with it plenty of frost, wind - and an increase in gnome-nappers it would seem!
The abduction of garden gnomes is nothing new; indeed, Wilf himself has a longstanding feud with the Gnome Liberation Front, believing that gnomes residing in residential areas are doing so out of choice. Any talk of these mythic creatures being institutionalised is pure fabrication.
Yet when Di Evans (@spellboundmedia) brought Wilf and a recently bereaved Gnome-keeper together on Twitter, our plucky little guy knew he had to do something to brighten up @ellenstarbuck's day:
“@ellenstarbuck: Someone stole my mum's garden gnome. How very the year Amelie was released.” @WoodlandWilf Oh no! Wilf to the rescue? XxWilf to the rescue, indeed! Or at least, one of Wilf's (even) smaller nephews - namely, the Woodland Wilf Scores a Hat Trick keyring.

Nevertheless, "a legendary creature in alchemy and in modern fantasy fiction" is "a legendary creature in alchemy and in modern fantasy fiction", no matter how big or small, and there was a gnomic vacancy in @ellenstarbuck's life that needed to be filled.
@ellenstarbuck Might be a little smaller than what you mum is used to, but every home deserves a gnome!

Wilf's just trying to spread the love.
UPDATE 03/12/13:
Ellen's sent in this photo of her mum and the new addition to their family. Aww:
