picturecrossing No.518 FOUND in Bristol
FOUND: 4/1/13
"Hello! I've found #518 attached to my road sign in Bristol UK, outside a big grey church.

It's of a scared and slightly-guilty looking gargoyle, wearing a Santa hat. I thought at first it may've been associated with the church, but I'm not sure it's the kind of thing they'd support. Maybe that would explain the gargoyle's expression.

I found it on Easter Monday but left it alone, went home and checked your website. Then just now, waking past it again after work, I decided to take the gargoyle in and look after him for a bit.

I will set him free at some point in the future, hopefully in a very different part of the world. And I hope whoever finds it then also tells you.

Lovely thing to do!
Cheers, Jake M.
