Infos

Who could have imagined that a pile of old nuts and bolts in a garden shed could have a life of their own? Well, prepare to be amazed as we follow the gravel path by the orchard fence, where young Morris Wainwright once searched for fossils among the polished stones, to an old garden shed with a green pitched roof. It's half hidden by moss and ivy and sheltered from the summer heat by overhanging apple boughs. The window looks onto a garden of tall yellow weeds where a line of shirts and socks flutter in the breeze. Now, if we move a little closer to the lichen speckled glass we may be surprised to see a spider spinning curtains of delicate silk and chatting to a rusty nail, while a pinion from a mangle and a sprocket from a butcher's bike are playing marbles with a wingnut on the bench. Rusty Nail, Wingsey Nut, Young Pinion and Sprocket are just some of the characters whose adventures we share as they struggle to maintain their way of life.

Eventually they are forced to leave their old garden shed home which is scheduled for demolition when a town bypass is being built. Courageously, they embark on a long and arduous journey to reach a place of safety in an abandoned beach hut in Cliff Top Bay. Life is never easy, but by caring for each other and being resourceful they are somehow able to survive.
