Firth of Forth finds..............

A couple of weekends back I went to Scotland, scouring the Firth of Forth for sea ceramics, glass, and anything else of interest! It was actually so cold that the pebbles on the beach had all frozen together, and I had to use the lumps of glass and pebbles to chip away and free the bits that I wanted! After two hours searching I had feet like blocks of ice, freezing fingers and was feeling a bit grumpy, so I headed for a hot beverage to warm my chilly cockles!

I didn't take many pictures whilst I was up there, probably because it was so cold, but here are three......

The goodies that I managed to collect (unwashed but very much loved!)
