Sweater Weather Gnome
Gneptune is a dapper gnome. While he’s gazing over the mists rolling in over a rocky shore, his sweater keeps him warm and dry…and stylish. Make sure you stop and say hello when you see him. He’s always got the seat with the best view, no matter which cafe or pub he’s in, or which rock he’s perched upon. He says a great view makes the poetry he is reading rhyme more satisfyingly.
With a flat cap, handlebar moustache, and gorgeous cabled sweater, Gneptune is bringing a lot of style to the Grimblewoods!
