Kingdom of Boredom Once upon a time in an old forgotten land, was a beige coloured Kingdom that was old and bland... In the beige Kingdom, lived the Things. Useful, practical Things. But these Things were sad. No-one paid the Things any attention. They were overlooked and ignored by everyone and anyone. Why? Because these Things were… BORING! For years they tried to be looked at, heard, noticed and admired. But they were still Boring Things. For they lived in the Kingdom of Boredom. But one day the Boring Things decided that they didn’t want to be boring anymore. And that is why they asked brave and brilliant knights and knightesses from all over the land to come and help them fight the Boredom. And because the knights and knightesses were brave and brilliant (and quite nice people), they promised to help the boring things. The brave and brilliant knights and knightesses put on their armour. And polished their metal. And warmed their voices. And poised their brushes. And off they went to fight the Boredom. For days and days and weeks and weeks and even months, the brave and brilliant knights and knightesses fought this fight. Some fought alone, some fought together, but each and every one of them had to complete adventures and overcome great dangers. In the dark forests of Manchester they fought, up and down the mountains of Wales, and through the labyrinths in Bath they fought. The battle raged on and on. Just when they knights and knightesses were about to give up, they went to find the Boring Things. But the Boring Things had changed. And in their place were exciting, interesting, beautiful Sparkly Treasures! Everyone wanted to look at the Sparkly Treasures and they were much admired. The Sparkly Treasures thanked the knights and knightesses for their help. The Sparkly Treasures knew they would never be Boring Things again and they all lived happily ever after. ***************** If you want to come and see the Kingdom of Boredom, the once Boring Things that are now Sparkly Treasures and to meet the brave and brilliant knights and knightesses, we’d love to welcome you in the Spruce Goose launderette, our bastion of the Kingdom of Boredom! Our knights and knightesses are indeed brave and brilliant, and they’ll show you the bravest and most brilliant once Boring Things, captured in pictures, painted in oil, printed on canvas, moulded in metal and put into frames and words. The launderette is the perfect environment for the once Boring Things, providing an environment as boring and fascinating as the pieces displayed in it. In the Kingdom of Boredom, everyone is the same. We would love you to come in just for the art, for the art and your washing, your washing and then the art, or just your washing, as long as you do come in you’re more than welcome. The End.
