Wet day


This superb umbrella is in fully working order, newly bought and ready and waiting to use having been left outside a shop. Someone'll be getting wet on their way home tonight.

Tiny Tukkins Bunny

Image
This fury bunny is very dirty and obviously seen better days and was found slung in the road. It’s been dirty for sometime too but you never know some child might be missing this ugly doll so I popped it back on the school gates in a plastic bag as it’s been raining a lot recently. On the label I find it’s come from the American toy range Tiny Tukkins made by the Beverley Hills Teddy Bear company. To find more visit www.PLUSH.com I visited the website and found the bunny and thought it rather sad as she has a baby brother and she’s known as the big sister of the two, belonging to the Bunnikins family. Lets hope her baby brother hasn’t come to a sorry ending too and he’s tucked up nice and warm inside someone's home and is still loved by it owner. Have a look at their promotional video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIi91iQD_ls&ab_channel=Lulu%E2%80%99sToyRevue

Happy two year anniversary Lesley's Loot!

It’s now been two years this month since starting Lesley’s Loot and there’s been plenty of interesting finds along the way; from being useful like a jacket to wear or entertaining like finding a hand written note left by an angry person. When I begun this blog I never imagined this amount stuff. In a way it’s become a social as well as an historical document. Although I don’t walk that far these days it’s quite simply amazing what’s on my front door step; things that are dropped by accident or simply lost like the odd toy or even put there deliberately for someone else to find and keep! If I think it is of any value I’ll take it, record it then pop it back where I found it, unless it has a forwarding address. In April 2021 we were just coming out of lockdown and looking back now this is highlighted in just a few finds like masks and even a Covid vaccination certificate. To date I've even found a Ukrainian appeal lapel badge to help raise funds for the war taking place ov

Happy three year anniversary Lesley Loot!

  Another year on and it’s interesting to re-read over what I had written this time last year. Admittedly I have not yet begun writing my book about finds which makes me think I’ll have to start this soon. However I have a brand new project linked to this one called Finders which requires some experimentation so watch this space! These days I’m walking a little further and coming across a lot more exciting things, yet more or less the same sort of stuff such as painted stones, toys and plenty of keyrings. Of late I have found hardly much at all, it’s all about wanting to come across something. One of the highlights is finding a clay pipe which is rather poignant after coming across a lot more of these vapes. These historic pipes are natural as clay comes straight from the wholesome earth but these vapes are really bad for the environment as they’re made of plastic and none recyclable, that is, I’ve never found one that is. Perhaps it’s also a sign of the times too as I rarel
