Linda, our home help, is an
artistic minded soul. She may not be particularly well educated but she is very
creative.
So it is yesterday she told
me of her latest creative feature in her home.
A few weeks ago she nearly
blew up her home by putting a chisel through the gas mains. Now it has all been
repaired. The pipes had to all be replaced as they were old lead ones, rather
than the present day copper ones. Anyhow she was given a length of the old
pipe. She’s painted it silver, attached it on some copper, & framed it. She
hopes it will remind her to take a bit more care in view of that one life she’s
used up. It will certainly be a talking point when visitors come.
Personally I would have
sighed with relief to see the old stuff go & know my home was safe once
more. It would never have occurred to me to make it into an art feature. Having
seen some of her other work, via the wonder of a modern day mobile phone, I can
well believe that bit of lead pipe has become something to look at &
appreciate.
