One Of Those Extraordinary Days

Yesterday, 

not only was the date 11/12/13

(in the US 12/11/13)

but we had fog all. day. long.

This time of year 

I drive by farmer fields

with gorgeous lone oak trees swallowed by fog at the base

- such a romantic look about it -

I often want to pull over to capture the moment

but we would be late for school

Once I get the kids dropped off,

the fog has disappeared

Not yesterday

I had most of the day to photograph at my leisure

And to add to my photo snapping joy,

the night left behind a hoar frost!

Which is code for seeing the invisible...

Droplets of dew froze on spider webs

to reveal lacy gossamer handiwork

everywhere

Fuzzy moss on tree trunks

begged for a closer look

In this little corner of England,

hoar frost may happen just a few times a year or not at all

Sort of like a rainbow

You feel lucky

So as the sun set (at 3:51pm!)

the day ended with this dreamy landscape

Hoping your December 

is filled with many rainbow moments

:)

You could pick that one out of the all-black-suitcase crowd!

I'm pretty confident you don't have this kooky clock

Instead of clock hands, the googly eyes tell you the time based on position

Such a conversation piece!

I believe the time is showing 12:25-ish :)

but I love giving creative gifts

(often hard to find)

Do you have any unusual finds to share?

Mudlarking In London

Beachcombing the River Thames in London

is known as 'mudlarking'

In the 18th and 19th centuries,

impoverished boys and girls aged 8 to 15

scavenged the river's mud at low tide 

in search of treasures to sell

It was a dirty and unsafe job,

as the river was a receptacle for raw sewage 

and dumping ground for the city's rubbish

Today it is a bit of a gold mine for seeing into the past

Led by Fiona, a local expert archaeologist,

a group of us collected a few things along the bank

we thought might be of interest

We showed her our loot,

and in a nonplussed way she told us much of it dated

to Victorian times or earlier

Once she showed us what to look for,

we saw Victorian roof tiles scattered on the bank

as well as old yellow bricks

Clay tiles with grey streaks were Victorian

Solid red tiles could be dated to Tudor times

And if tiles showed signs of being burned, 

they could be from the Great Fire of London in 1666

(as they threw everything into the river to clean up after the fire)

And yes, that's a bone

We found glass waste from a factory that

operated nearby from 1700s - 1800s

Pottery known as 'tin-glazed ware'

would have been discarded

from kilns located on the shore 

between 15th and 17th centuries

Clay pipes were like cigarette butts of the time,

popular by smokers between 1580 and 1930

We saw these everywhere

Clay pipes and a very old shard of tin-glazed ware (the piece with one blue stripe)

The plentiful metal nails and scrap were from the shipyard

that once stood where we searched 

(late 1600s - late 1800s)

Clearly they were handmade and did not look uniform in shape

The most important discovery of the day

was a piece of coral found by someone in our group

- Fiona asked if she could take it to the Zoo as they are piecing together

what types of coral lived in the river -

Although you could mudlark on your own,

you wouldn't know what you were seeing

so I would highly recommend giving it a go with Fiona

- great for all ages -

We were thrilled with our success

and thankful the bank was pebbly and mud-free

I'll never look at the Thames the same :)

Thanksgiving's Hedgerows

As America celebrates Thanksgiving tomorrow

- a day of loved ones, traditional food, and American football -

my family and I will celebrate our fourth year in a nation

that doesn't pause for the holiday

We have a new normal with new traditions,

such as traipsing down to a local pub with friends and family

for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner

The pub may serve Yorkshire Pudding as well as other English surprises

One never knows!

 (pubs are family friendly

and not at all like American bars)

Darkness is a cloak as early as 4pm

and autumn leaves continue to fall gently like giant snowflakes

I am delayed on the road lately

due to local hedges being trimmed

If you've visited the English countryside,

you cannot help but notice the hedgerows

that create perimeters around farmland and property

Hedges create super-highways for wildlife across the countryside

- so many are connected -

and provide a bounty of food with its berries and fruit

A place of shelter, I find such great comfort in these living barriers

Like a cutie-pie hedgehog traveling along the hedgerows,

I find thankfulness in the sweet tidbits and friends I meet along my path

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving, wherever you may be in the hedgerows :)
