Rutland Hippos Five Years On Enjoying Life in Captivity

Rutland Hippos Five Years On Enjoying  Life in Captivity




















A dreadful waste of public money back in 2010
Fortunately here in Rutland unlike many other
parts of the Country people were willow to give
the fibreglass animals a good home.

Many towns who supported the project had
to pay for the disposal and in some cases the
poor artists footed the bill.

Repeating media criticism earned me a life
time ban from Arts Committees here in Rutland
so every time I see one of these plastic monstrosities
it is never to pleasing.

The three above have a home at the Church of
England Primary School Burley Road Oakham.

As for Arts and Culture these days most of it is dead
here in Rutland.
