I haven't been there for a while; maybe I should go again. Some are very interesting - especially the small ones which I'm thinking held medicine. I have quite a few on my mantle and they line the window sills in our breezeway.

I need to think about what to make!<br /><br />Ellen: I think it's the musk mallow, Malva moschata. I think parts of the Heath used to serve as a rubbish dump long, long ago.<br /><br />Linda Sue: Yeah, Olga can be around other dogs, but she's sort of indifferent to them. She's always been that way.<br /><br />Padre: She always looks very smiley in photos!<br /><br />Catalyst: I would if I could!<br /><br />Jenny-O: GREAT! I'm so glad you're seeing evidence of bees!<br /><br />Sue: Maybe you can find one on eBay? Might be worth excavating that dump a little to see what else is in there!

We've found many, many old bottles and loads of broken glass. There is a little bit of old china and pottery - small pieces like you show. But the other day I found a complete top that looks like it was on a sugar bowl in a sweet blue pattern. Wish I could find the bowl!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107838233635613580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-86944896876424016942019-07-07T19:14:19.829+01:002019-07-07T19:14:19.829+01:00Love the Olga photo :)

Yay for this year - I've had quite a few sightings, and there MUST be some around our back deck because my potted zucchini plant got fertilized somehow and I have a two inch squash growing! loljenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-45260877211672039132019-07-07T18:29:48.605+01:002019-07-07T18:29:48.605+01:00Okay, you can send me some of that nice gentle rai...Okay, you can send me some of that nice gentle rain.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-63377380248402091892019-07-07T17:10:04.746+01:002019-07-07T17:10:04.746+01:00Way To B - HA

Adorable girl- I noticed in her film with the other dogs in the pond that she really was above identifying with them- it was like she was watching over them, because she is NOT a canine, thank you, she is royalty and a species all her own.Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-7089556674494845522019-07-07T15:52:22.914+01:002019-07-07T15:52:22.914+01:00amazing that you find so many shards on your walks...amazing that you find so many shards on your walks. do you have any idea why they are there in such abundance and so many different ones?

In other areas, I think the paths were hardened with pebbles, and there are pottery shards mixed in. Makes me wonder if the pebbles came from the Thames, where there's loads of broken pottery.<br /><br />Briony: YP is referring to a spam comment that I have since deleted. LOL!
