The Bus

Jeraldine the bus was in a very sorry state when we first took her on. Much of the engine and running gear had been cannibalised to fix other buses and many windows and panels needed replacing. She is a rescued bus and very much loved for a new and unusual life as a home to a gamelan orchestra.
