Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Interesting rusts in the front garden of an Arthurs Seat home. Can anyone tell me just what they are? A sickle and roller?

I suppose the roller is to tamp down the earth after planting the wheat (or whatever) and the sickle to harvest the same later. Only a guess from a suburban dweller.
Gemma,
I could sense the double meaning concealed within the obvious. The true meaning surfacing from what is seen by the eyes. I look at the rich imagery of this poem from a quite different light.
This poem is about aging, not as shown in the picture, not as painted by your words but what emerge from my mind as I read it.
This is about aging - ours - of us humans. What is age but number, within those numbers we lived are precious memories. Beneath the wilting physical human forms are hearts of gold that endured the seasons and encase treasures of experience and wisdom.
For the words wasted, wilted, aged, could also mean: Accomplished.
I wish you well.

I need one of them...what would shipping be to the states...LOL...now this is my kinda goods...those are used to flatten down the soil after construction, they weigh a ton. My Grandaddy had one and my Brother an I couldn't budge it together. He used to roll it over mole hills to flatten them so he could mow, my Brother just wanted to roll it over MY toys...bad brother!
A little piece of nostalgia from the Midwest.

A 4 Leaf clover in any form is a lucky find. Very unusual.
A scythe rather than a sickle. A neighbor had one which she donated to the local small town museum. They look dangerous.
