Garden gnome shortage

Well, sometimes there are news that you don't know if they are plain bad or just plain weird. Because of the Suez canal blockage, the UK is short on... garden gnomes. I kid you not. I haven't been in a garden centre for ages and I am a terrible gardener, but I would love to have a garden gnome to do the job in my place. Or just to look cute outside. We used to have scarecrows, but they didn't last long. Anyway, I will have to wait to buy garden gnomes, or so it seems. I really wish I had bought that one when I had the chance.
