Simon Natelson-Carter (#0372) has written in to tell us that he recently spent a week in a lodge suspended 50ft above Dylan Thomas’ Boat House in Laugharne, Pembrokeshire. He doesn’t say what particular misdemeanour led to his lodge-incarceration but it couldn’t have been that serious as here in Wales suspension above Dylan Thomas’ former retreats is often used as an alternative to open-prison.
Anyway, while he was there he took a look at The Tin Shed Experience – a 1940’s museum which is conveniently nearby. There his finely-tuned telegraph pole detection gland spotted this telegraph pole–based construction within their grounds. Once satisfied that no pole cruelty was involved in its erection therewith Simon and the museum owners celebrated said pole’s prior loyal service. Though I don’t think this particular pole has done much by way of public telegraph work seeing how it seems to have an ’07 mark.
Simon is also the curator of the Tamsin Pastelle museum in Wiltshire. Some time ago he eluded to further artwork finds by this great telegraph pole artist. Herewith the first. Tamsin’s cake and butterfly period (possibly) followed a poorly-judged fungal foray which led to a plate of garlic magic-mushrooms on toast.
She may have ended up with a gippy stomach and an interesting insight, but we mortals have this colourful, vibrant, psilocybin-induced candle and butterfly filled masterpiece to remember her by.
This and other paintings by the same artist can be bought in greetings card form from the US website Card Gnome.
