Clearly, that idea wasn’t wacky enough, so we invited people to step into the artwork & volunteer as our art librarians too!  The unusual looking characters on our deck chairs were part of artist @_annieb’s work which came complete with a performance from her 👀

Two human-stone circles rocked (😉) their way to two sites in the city - @PboroMuseum & @greenbackyard. Performance times were tight (as were the stone suits!), so veggie sausage sandwiches were scoffed & prosecco was downed back at our cottage, after a dawn dance at 4.30am!
