I declare the patio to be clean.....

Speaking as the duly elected Chair of the AGON (Association of the Gnomes of Nantilly), I declare that the patio is now gleamingly clean and wish to offer a vote of thanks to Monsieur Karcher for the splendid effort. On behalf of my fellow association members I'd also like to thank Ms A Moore for so ably directing M. Karcher and keeping him supplied with the necessary resources to accomplish the task.

 AGON has complained for years about the overall standard of maintenance of our official residence and meeting place but is has taken the advent of M. Kracher and Ms Moore for anything to be done. Long may they stay.
You will notice that in the photograph below I look a little careworn, this, in part, is due to the brilliance of the patio on which I am standing - and partly further evidence of the neglect of the landlords of the association's residence and residents.

Dare we hope for more?
Kindest regards
