I just came across this pretty interesting and funny story of the travelling Gnome. Apparently this elderly couple from Gloucester had their garden Gnome stolen from them 11 mths ago. But to their surprise, the Gnome reappeared on their doorstep one day with a nicely wrapped photoalbum chronicling his adventures around the world. Apparently over 3 continents and 12 countries! The Gnome said it best in his letter to the couple,
Hello! First of all I feel I should explain my prolonged absence. A gnome’s life is full of time for reflection, and whilst surveying your garden one summer morning, I began to get itchy feet.
‘I came to the conclusion that the world is a big place and there is more to life than watching the daily commuter traffic, and allowing passing cats to urinate on you.
‘So I decided to free myself from the doldrums of the Shire and seek adventure. My travels have taken me across three continents, 12 countries and more time zones than I can possibly remember.
‘There have been high points, low points, and positively terrifying points. But I have survived – small thanks to the companion with whom I have shared all these moments.
It’s amazing what some people do. Pretty cool story though. Check out some of his pics below.
