The Family
There are two of them. They live on windowsills, desks and the shelf by the front door, and they are brother and sister — loosely, in the way families are.
Ollie 🎸
The one who started it. He has been practising the same three chords for months and remains extremely pleased with himself about all of them. The ukulele is moulded as part of the piece — nothing to attach, nothing to lose behind a shelf.
Pip 🌿
Ollie's younger sister. She claimed the window seat on day one and has not given it up. Hangs on a little rope swing with her legs dangling, usually with light behind her.
The one rule they both follow
Every pot has a real drainage hole, drilled through the base. Most novelty planters are moulded shut, which looks fine for a week and then quietly kills whatever is inside. Ours drain, so the plant lives and the joke lasts longer than the plant would have.
