    Those elderberries were so lovely. The rosehips are so juicy with all the rain you’ve had. They are packed with vitamin C and can be made into a jam or scrape out the seeds and dry for tea.
    I love the green stopper as well.
    The rising tide, your music and shots of flowers were so peaceful. Thank you.

My dream is to visit some day to lark along with some of my favorite mudlarkers! 😊

    Alex, congratulations on finding the beautiful green stopple bopper. I don't live in the UK, but I thought it looked like the emblem of the Prince of Wales's feathers.
    Looking forward to seeing your treasures at the roundup.
    If someone is interested in foraging for fruit, that river foreshore is really the place for that with the blackberries, elderberries & it looks like apples as well. My goodness, you found loads of beads & Codd marbles.

    The green stopper is amazing! That lid probably are grapes and the rest of the jar looked the same. I have two very similar jars I inherited from my Aunt, meant for jams and jelly, one is shaped like a blackberry and the other is a strawberry. Mine aren’t very old though, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the kind of jar your lid fits on. My friends make elderberry jam, it’s really good…

    over the last two days we've been playing 'backyard archaeology.'..we've been pulling up bricks that had been laid as a floor in an old shed addition to the garage..my son had pulled the extension down a few years back when we were going to fix up the garage, but pulling the extension down was as far as was gotten..well we've now built a new galvanised shed in its place and we wanted to level/relay the brick flooring..with the digging we have found lots of things that were buried, prior to council rubbish pickups began..my home was built in 1917..anyway, the latest finds were 2 milk glass cream/ointment jars and a small clear glass Bex ( I think) bottle..all unbroken..also found a row of bricks, hiding under the dirt, that looked like they were garden edging..they'd been hiding UNDER the brick flooring..I suspect they could not be bothered removing them so instead buried and built over them..all the different materials that were used for backfill..old floor tiles, glass and bones..it's the closest I'm ever going to get to 'mudlarking' in a suburb that was built up in the late 40's early 50's, in Melbourne, Australia....
