I have done my own mini-excavations around here and uncovered some interesting (to me) things. Old jars, ink bottles, a pretty scent bottle, loads of broken china. It was thrilling. We also found some very large old stones which may have come from the village church when it was demolished. They are beautiful - they show the marks where the stonemason worked them.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-90071532046982354552012-04-25T07:48:34.545+01:002012-04-25T07:48:34.545+01:00Hi Susan, When that tulip fully opens it is spect...Hi Susan, When that tulip fully opens it is spectacular!

A couple of years ago I was lucky to discover one of the old rubbish heaps from maybe 100 years ago - I got digging, deep - and found lots of lovely bottles, jars, metal work, broken tea pots, plates... it was thrilling and I felt each piece had a story which I would ponder on as I scraped around for the next piece.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-9837552628219191252012-04-25T07:26:17.729+01:002012-04-25T07:26:17.729+01:00Tracey next door has a well coveted with a large s...Tracey next door has a well coveted with a large slab.

But, steps are even more exciting. I think I would feature them with flowers or some kind of bird water bowl.
