Mudlarking - 15A
It was lunchtime and not much beach could be seen. I’d gone down an alleyway that didn’t smell pleasant, and then down steps, and past flies. I walked back and forth on the small patch of shore anyway, while the tide went out and the beach gradually grew.
I found a small piece of glass, a blue and white sherd, and a mysterious brown metal object. It is not the telescope I imagined it was when I picked it up.
A man sat on the steps, but the tiny patch of foreshore was entirely mine that day.

An after work trip to the foreshore, low tide was a few hours before.
A religious looking poster floated in the water, but later appeared on the shore.
An Egyptian goose walked by.
I found a tiny green plastic bottle with a swirl on it and I wondered what it once contained.
I found another square small black tile that looks modern, but I have about 4 now. Maybe I’ll find enough to make a space invader mosaic eventually.
There were a few broken pipe bowls, and what I thought was a piece of green pipe, but now looks like something else.
I found a stone with delightful stripes, or is it a fossil?
