However, they discovered that all was not so bright, shiny and jolly after all. Sadly, Margate had a major rubbish problem! The gnomes were keen to help. Rolling up their sleeves they got to work putting things right and helping to tell all the grown-ups and all the children to look after precious Mother Earth and to do the right thing. “Rubbish goes in the bin, buy less plastic and recycle!”
Grandpa 42 and his gnome family were still worried about the weather because it was either too hot or too wet! One sunny day, Tom and Lucy packed a picnic and took a sailing boat out for a spin around the Margate harbour. Suddenly, the weather changed and strong winds blew them far out to sea. Discover how the gnomes rescue the children when it became too dangerous for even the life boat to venture out!
