Jar 4 Reappearance
The Serendipity Jar
Once Upon A Jar, 4 Years ago.
Life and this Jar became serendipitous, and I don't get use that word enough.
Being one of the first Jars to go out, and the first Jar I put out with company.
It was planned for Stoke Gifford. But ended up in a hollowed out tree in Clifton, thanks to the original Jar hunter and my Jar Yogi Mark
A tree Jar in a hollowed out tree, as I said,
Serendipitous!
The Jar soon disappeared never to be heard from again, Or so I thought.
Now many years have passed, 4 to be exact. And this project has gone untended due to...well life.
So imagine my Surprise, Joy and Wonderment.
When a tweet ping goes off for @BadWolfJars
I haven't used that account in a year, what's going on...Jar 4 is what's going on.
It lives, it has new life and has turned up on the doorstep of non other than
20th Century Flicks
Bristol's legendary film library & tiny cinema, on the Christmas Steps.
Found on one of their shelves of exrentals. Could this story be any more Bristolian.
They've taken it in and given it a home, until it's time for it to go walkies again.
I am in awe, of not only them but whomever put it there.
Where has it been?
How did the writing last that long?
Has it changed hands before, or been in one place?
How did it come to get on there shelf?
All these questions buzzing round my head, and the best bit of all....
I don't know the answers, it's a mystery.
One I had long forgotten about and given up on.
I forgot how much this project effects, not only me but everyone else.
The people who found jars, the people who search.
The excitement of putting a Jar out in the middle of the night. Taking photos of them and being looked at funny. The drunks, eccentrics and dog walkers I met along the way, (one once singing to a Jar).
The absolute amazement of a Jar being found.
The kids, ohhh the kids who found the Jars and thought they were buried treasure, pirate booty or Doctor Who clues.
All this came flooding back and I was filled with happieness.
I cannot believe, after all this time, this little Jar, this little serendipitous jar.
Found it's way back into this story and maybe, off onto new adventures.
Thank You Whomever looked after it so well. Thank you for placing it in such a great place. Whoever you are, I owe you a great deal.
And Thank You 20th Century Flicks, for taking it in and giving it such a pretty and fitting home.
Go visit it if you can, send it a hug and love from me.
Happy Hunting Everyone
