It's not every day that Mr Gnome has an opportunity to meet an American bishop.By the same token, it's not every day that American bishops get to meet Mr G.
This particular prelate is the Right Rev Gene Robinson, Bishop of New Hampshire.
As this episcopally epiphanic snapshot indicates, both parties appear to be equally chuffed by the encounter, which took place today at the splendid Greenbelt Arts Festival, sited on Cheltenham race course.
Bishop Gene had been drawing large and attentive crowds to his festival talks and lectures. Later he took time to chat with festival-goers while signing copies of his recent book The Eye of the Storm.
Charming and softly spoken, Bishop Gene was unfased by his meeting with Mr G, welcoming the impromptu photo-op without a trace of gnomophobia.
With typical diffidence, the bishop inquired: 'Am I big in Gnomeland?'
Responding through his spokesperson, Mr G stated robustly: 'Bishop Gene, you're absolutely huge.'
