EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1953, we are transported back in time to Mare Hill Farm in Pulborough, West Sussex. The image captures a heartwarming scene of a young boy engrossed in playing a musical instrument for an unlikely audience - a curious pig. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the farm yard, the boy's passion for music shines through as he serenades his porcine companion. With each note played on his instrument, it seems as though both the boy and the pig share an unspoken connection that transcends their differences. This snapshot not only offers us a glimpse into rural life during that era but also evokes feelings of nostalgia and simpler times. It reminds us of the joy found in simple pleasures and unexpected friendships. The George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office has preserved this precious moment, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and charm captured within its frame. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be reminded of our own childhood innocence and carefree spirit. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst our busy lives today, there is still room for moments of pure delight and connection with nature. This enchanting image encapsulates the essence of farming life while celebrating music's ability to bridge gaps between species – reminding us all to find harmony wherever we may roam.
