Upsetting times, our ENOCH`s missing !!!!!!!!!!!!!

33 comments

Back in April I did a blog about Enoch – he`s the guy sitting on the bench – hubby made him for a bit of fun for our greatgranddaughter as she wanted a friend for haha. Although she took haha home Enoch was left behind and we had many comments from children, teenagers and parents as they were passing by.

So imagine our dismay when we looked through the window one morning to find him gone. There was a large notice in his place.

Over the next couple of weeks we were amazed by the number of people who asked why he had been moved. One mother said her little girl had cried and wanted him to be there when she went to school she missed waving to him. Bless!!.
Then the postman came with news in the form of the following postcard.

Well at least he was safe and well.

Then rejoice, rejoice, there he was back in his own front garden but he had another little friend beside him and a postcard and throw away camera.
We couldn`t wait to get the photos printed so off we went – cost £5.99 a pretty cheap ransom I`d say?.
He was obviously enjoying himself dont you think.

We don`t recognise any of the lads in the last photo, we have shown them round but nobody knows who they are – the culprets most likely got others to pose with him.
Anyway its given us a good laugh and a talking point in fact he`s become quite famous and the school children are all happy to see him back.

So alls well that ends well, wonder if I sat out there someone would take me on holiday? :o)).

well Stroller you have given me and my husband a good laugh, so glad Enoch is back home and that he has had a good holiday, he looks to have been well looked after,you say you don't recognise the lads in the photo, but you do have a registration number on the blue car, might be well to investigate it, how good of the culprits to leave you the camera, hope your grandaughter is pleased to have him back, as well as the neighbours and local children,

Couldn't stop smiling when I read through this blog, Stroller! ... So, Enoch has been to the seaside, had some wine and beer and now has a girlfriend ... sounds like the perfect holiday for him ... lol! ... I bet the little girl who cried at his departure is beaming now ... :o)))

Hope he was given a serious talking to about his alcohol intake. What an example to set to the children and told never ever to get into a car with strangers. Naughty naughty Enoch. Still alls well that ends well.

I should put the photo on face book, name and shame them, taking a poor drunken scarecrow away from the loving arms of his kith and kin. Whatever were they thinking. Oh no, he's not on any medication, is he?

Don't know how I shall sleep tonight, the worry. Glad to know he's back safe and sound. LOL

What a laugh!! That's the best blog I've seen for ages! Thank goodness he didn't get sunstroke or an upset tum! Brilliant gag whoever did it, a bit cheeky of course, but so funny! :)) Glad to see him back on the bench! I wonder if someone else will do the same thing...it could become a local gag! Imagine leaving the camera too...brilliant!

I can only say folks that Enoch poor soul is absolutely soaking wet with all the rain we have had so dont think anyone will be interested in picking him up at the moment.
Am I being dense Sticki - why would Enoch find cousins in Belbroughton?.

Stickitoffee

ah, yes ~ here they are
