a yellow gnome ornament displayed in a charity shop window stood behind two ceramic fruit arrangements. In ancient traditions these characters indicated a connection with subtle earth mysteries. On my drift around Salford I became aware of them from graffiti at Wodens Bridge to the inhabitants of Gnome Island in the river irwell. This fella came at the end of my wander and in a shop where i would find my much needed replacement water flask, it was like finding the grail after a quest to discover the secret nature of the area and seeing this only compounded the notion of this poetic potion.
