Pianos Last Garden Tune


Today we put the old pianola from the library out to graze. It's reached it's end of life and we have decided not to pay for it to be removed from school grounds. It made the journey with us along the years and it will now become something else entirely. We have put it in the garden to become a sculpture. Ephemeral, fizzing and detuned by the elements it will eventually be salvaged for parts for smaller garden ornaments and novelties to nestle in amongst the plantings and pathway corners of the Green. Graeme, our horticulturalist gave her her last loving caresses before the coming storms and the cycle of life plays on.
