Remember the party we went to, during which Ruby decided to lick our car? At that same party I remember hearing her infectious laugh pealing out from outside the tent. I asked someone "who's playing with Ruby?" and was told "no-one - she's playing with the guy ropes on the marquee". Wow, I thought, didn't realise ropes could be so entertaining - but she was happy, so we left her to it. We are so lucky to have a talented photographer, Paul Restall, in our circle of friends, and he captured Ruby's exploration of the sound and feel of the ropes vibrating in the wind.
