Tonight, a walk in the dark, and I've listened to the River Ravensbourne trickling and the trees rustling, and stood with one foot either side of the Meridian line.

Three eyes I recently found on the Thames foreshore:
1. An eye from a bearded man on a Bartmann jug (16th or 17th century stoneware)
2. A pink eye, probably from a toy.
3. A mysterious blue eye, which could be a stone.

A mysterious metal object I found on the Thames foreshore, with "N P Brown" and "Prime" written on one side and "51" on the other. A token of some kind? What do people think? #mudlarking
