    I also found a bit of... something in the garden


    I put it on the trophy shelf in the greenhouse and it morphed into something entirely different


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Probably the most useful thing I've found though was a 4 metre long steel I beam buried in my dad's garden. It's now holding up the floor above his kitchen after he knocked through into the conservatory. It had been buried for at least 40 years and was still perfectly servicable.

    Somewhere in a flower bed are the lovely Fiskars scissors I was using to to tie in plants a couple of weeks ago, they may never reappear. But an old vegetable  peeler surfaced out of the mud having been in the compost bin for a couple of years. My mothers old carving knife I used for chopping clumps of plants did resurface after the winter.

    No buried treasures in my garden 😟, mostly old pennies and bits of broken plastic. I did once find a small purple alien/monster who was rehomed in a pot of cacti, a bit like buttercups rhinoceros.

    I'm loving your 'moss-man' on the trophy shelf wild edges 😍. Reminds me a bit of an old fashioned fairground Gonk 😀.

  • My garden was more like an old tip when we moved in. Found an toilet seat and had fun digging up the strings of an old mattress... Also found numerous victorian medicine bottles.

    I love those old medicine bottles.  Someone did some fly tipping some 150 years ago in the forest (that used to be field back then) near my parents.. all that is left is the glass.. they were so fun to find as a child.

    The only thing I have ever found was a glass bottle you used to get in school with free milk. Found it over 20 years ago and still have it somewhere in my shed.
