Today we know the garden gnome as a solid, small ornament made from clay or resin, but did you know in the 18th century the role was played by a human being? | Simple History

This time last year I took the same photo of these legends, after their win. Melissa came up to me shortly after winning and asked if I’d take the photo again for them. Me thinks this could be a long standing tradition. I certainly hope so. They are genuinely the nicest people I’ve ever met. | Little Gnome | Facebook
