Never happier than when in the mud, by a river, looking for social history and untold stories. Pottery, clay pipes, photography and friendships.

I always hope to dig up something I've not found before; last week this little fella delivered. No portrait on this unusual coin, just crowned roses on both sides, it being a Charles I half groat 1625-42. Bent as a 'love token' was a bonus, my earliest example, but tricky to photograph.

Finding a tiny child's thimble today. These wonderful little objects always please me. This sweet little one is in perfect shape, it should clean up nicely.

We've made a bottle vase wall in our kitchen. Having vases at head height is cool, can't wait for Sweetpea season, cos these will smell lovely when wafting past them.

A fool on a horse smoking a pipe, one of many performers in the procession of Joanna of Castile's entry into Brussels, 1496.

Wait... a pipe?
In 1496?
Yes sometimes real history is also fake.
An 17th century doodler added the pipe.

I'm still angry.
