Wyn the Wonder Horse (aka Whinny) is the carousel horse of my dreams, found him yesterday in a second hand shop a few stations down the mountain. He was delivered last night just in time for the Full Moon so we danced in delight all day to Old Man Crow’s music ((Wyn was Roderick’s middle name)
Stormy fed the dream of having a horse back in 1970 when I was 15 and so was he. We had 10 good years together til I retired him to be a quiet ride for the wife of a sheep station manager in South Australia.
For the past 50 years I have dreamed of carving a life size carousel horse out of wood but at this late stage of the game simply ran out of the energy to carve on that scale. Wyn has made this long time dream come true at a smaller scale: 92cm H x 77cm W x 22cm D so he can fit in my little cottage here at Dunmovin.
Just finished stitching today into the Long Cloth of Grief and Wonder
Magic Days!
It's Crow Time
