Coming across things you 'must have' on holiday.
-If you have been in Dorset, you need fossils
...and because they are also selling gemstones, you get those,too.
This is restraint! I could have got loads more. Sort of thinking necklace, so I tried to remember what colour necklace I keep thinking I need. Not so good at the remembering part. But I can always use blue and I think I have been wishing for green. The blue one is marbled with white on the other side.
I think the fossil looks like an abstract painting. Or a smiling fish if you turn it another way. It is a straight tube fossil, related to cephalopods. I don't know what the round spot is. Maybe a cross section of another one?
-coloured twine - not for the garden, but to be considered 'thread' or to
make a net with.
-a wonderful thing for only £8! and even a Thoughtful Man thought it was a good idea. ie: didn't frown about me buying it.
A shoemaker's last.
But not just any old shoemaker's last...one for the whole family. 😃👞👟👠
There was another also in the shop with just two shoe forms...also £8. So, that wasn't a hard choice. 😀
The shop owner said people buy them for door stops. Sensible. So, that is what it is doing til I need to use it for shoes!
Actually, it has given me an idea for how to depict or record something I have been wanting to make about the refugees in so many places.👣
and finally - a photo of a blue flower. Don't take the flower, just a photo.
It was too near the edge for me to attempt a photo, or even to get near enough to look at it closely. So a Certain Young Man, who came over from Sussex university for a few days with us, did the bending and trying to get just the right photo. It only took a couple tries to do it. Lovely.
Not sure what it is. They were scattered on the banks near
the dragon.
