    I remember them school milk bottles. One third of a pint,  if my memory serves me right we could get orange juice in that size bottle too,  ( from the milkman not school )

    I have many fond memories of having to drink my bottle of warm milk at school. It is probably why I don’t drink milk now😀
    i don’t know how it got in the garden as the house was a good half mile from the school. We have moved twice since that garden and every time the bottle has been packed up and comes with us. I have no idea why as it just lives in the shed.
    maybe I should dig it out of there and use is as a small vase or something 💐

    I dug this from a previous garden. I have no idea what it is. I like to think it's some sort of fossilised seed pod. there are rows of the tiniest dots along it but way too small to photograph.

    We found two lovely big slate steps covered in grass, we had been mowing them for years.
    when someone else takes this property they will find a toilet, hand basin and cystern that OH buried on the principal that the tip wanted too much money to dump them.

    if anyone ever dismantles and removes my polytunnel and digs down deep enough they'll find all the tiles, ( walls and floor ) from 2 bathrooms.

    I used to drink several of those bottles of milk every school day. Kids who hated the stuff would surreptitiously pass theirs onto me. And the cod liver oil capsules too.

    Are you my friend from school? I was one of those kids!

    Hosta it's a sea urchin.

    I've found all sorts of junk, plastic bags of old raincloths burried just under the surface, lots of plastic bags filled with kitchen rubbish (some even datable around 10 years old) all burried here and there, some very old electrics, a car exhaust.. Hundreds of the ceramic electric fence insulators, and the best find, a flint scraper.

    Love the sea urchin Hosta, I would display it somewhere in the garden and make a feature of it.
