Someone has called this place home, since 1499. Current tenants? Apparently a garden gnome and a penguin. Spotted last summer in Bishop’s Castle.

I love the way the gnome is perusing his grounds. Probably planning a spot of work for the gardener.

Maybe. Except he has no garden. At the front anyway. It was the main street in town. Regret perhaps …

Great photo. We just seem to wander around looking at things at eye level, but a whole world can open up if we raise our eyes a bit.

525 years. I didn’t know that penguins lived that long. A gnome would be easy to believe. 😉
