We are always finding Victorian crockery, clay pipes, old nails ….. I even found a mourning vase once. I rather like finding these things. It's a nice part of living in an old house.Our present house is late Victorian but the house before was 17th Century where we found an old leather shoe and a petrified rat !!!! XXXX
Kind of appropriate as I am saying "hello" for the first time. Just popped over from Natalie's and rather love your blog. I'm your new follower from Ontario, Canada. Deb
How funny! I was forever finding body parts of dolls, action men, lego people and all sorts when the kids were little! It was like a toy graveyard out there!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Really strang but not the worst parts you can find.
ReplyDeleteHow very true!
DeleteExtra hands come in handy in a garden! :)
ReplyDeleteI keep finding marbles in mine.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you can play 'marbles'; I can't play 'arms'.

ReplyDeleteIn the UK we used to find clay pipes all the time, here it's usually bits of old plates or pots.
DeleteLooks like one of my art works.
ReplyDeleteIt IS one of my art works!
DeleteMaybe you'll find the rest of it later. Call CSI.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice when somebody gives you a wave.
ReplyDeleteA bit less action in some action figure.
