Today's escapade... Badger Excavation?
Imagine Wind in the Willows meets Time Team... It'll all make sense shortly. Into the woodland The pungent aroma of Wild Garlic fills the air The Bluebells are in bloom Handful of multi-legged creatures. Skimmed some stones Over the stile, I love the wabi-sabi of a well handled stile. The thought of 100,s of peoples hands passing over many years gradually wearing down the once square wooden post into a rounded shinny finish. Eventually we arrived at our destination, A long established badger set. If your not familiar with the humble badger, it can loosely be described as natures food blender hence a poke around with a stick. As the set grows larger, along with the stones the badgers neatly excavate all the old bottles, pottery, bones ect on our behalf. We call here two or three times a year to see what the varmints have dug up. Some of our hoard from the entrances of the burrows. I would estimate the badgers are down to about 1940ish From old kettles, scent bottles to figurines, after a 20min rummage this was our hoard of junk. Our only treasure being this old clay pipe |

Nice Boyo!
Today's jaunt... amateur fossil hunting combined with expert crustacean capturing. An old abandoned tractor once used for pulling the crabbing boats into shore Ruuuun!!! Out of frame, poorly lit, the photography skills of a 6 year old? A brace of limpets Conners and a crab Throwing our catch back at the end of the day... Damn the seawater was cold. |

Another day another adventure...
We started the day at Millsands which itself started life as a 12th century goit used to power the waterwheel and associated corn mills. Later in the 18th century the goit powered the cutlers wheel and burgeoning steel industry. Looking towards Lady's Bridge. Off we went on our journey following the rivers through the old industrial heartland of the steel city. If you follow this river back to the train station it becomes the huge culvert you will remember from the Megatron post. We had to leave the towpath temporarily and passed this brothel, i mean massage parlour Yes indeed it does state "Please Use Rear Entrance" Nothing like a stroll down the seldom used canal to broaden ones horizons to minority groups. Having passed the long gone Vickers steelworks, Firth Browns, Osbourne & Balfour and Exchange Brewery ect.. We arrived at the site that was the old Marshall's steelworks which was established in the mid 1760,s it contained both cementation and crucible furnaces. (Early steelmakers were unable to achieve the high temperatures required to melt steel so cementation was a way of producing a crude steel known as blister steel by heating iron bars for several days in a chest packed with charcoal). The cone shaped furnaces became a common feature of the local landscape and still are in places. Marshall's steel was peerless and considered by metallurgists as the most beautiful steel in commerce. On we go... A Gray Squirrel skull, again i can only apologise for my kids hands, we do wash him down occasionally. Along with the expected bit of tagging there are some lovely pieces of artwork dotting the river bank by Phlegm ...and then the bank holiday Monday rain started and it didn't stop. |

Bob,
Do you happen to know J.D. McPherson? He's from Broken Arrow. Before he got kinda famous he was a teacher at a school called Holland Hall. He got me a gig there playing for the kids one time when I was passing through. |
