  Someone chucked this away; it’s a SIM card holder. A SIM card in the most simplistic terms is a miniature circuit board that fits into your mobile phone allowing you to connect with the outside world and even the internet if you have a device that supports this, known as a smart phone.

  Another one of those empty packets of drugs again.

This buzzards feather was found in the city; sometimes I spot them circling above looking for small mammals to eat.  

Looking more closely you can see the word ‘love’.  

  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.

One of the highlights is finding a clay pipe which is rather poignant after coming across a lot more of these vapes.

Covid has never completed strayed from our daily lives and is often still referred to in the news. There's a time before and a time after the virus and it’s still possible to catch it, even now.

Today another war is raging on th is earth . Th i s tim e it’s in the middle east. It’s an age old war that’s never properly stopped; it’ s basically about keeping Palestine separate f ro m Israel . There has been a lot of demonstrations taking place nationally which is why this sticker was created; it’s protesting against Israel suppressing Palestine. Palestine used to be known as the Holy Land and it was here that two religions were born: Judaism and Christianity causing a division within the area which has been governed by many nations including Rome and Egypt and most recently the Britain empire.
