On a fungi hunt this afternoon

... but I didn't find any so here are the bottles on the window ledge instead. These were dug up many years ago when I used to live on the site of an old railway station. In earlier times there was no waste collection and what wasn't combustible was thrown onto middens. This hand-blown ink bottle may well have fueled the pen of many a clerk in the office. My guess would be that it is Victorian in origin (19C).

A beautiful if somewhat cold afternoon for a short walk but very wet underfoot after this mornings rain. I took other photos outside but liked this image. I used the same coloured background layer as yesterday.
