Night Owling

Laid out against a dark grey background are ten biscuits that resemble aged, chipped mudlarking finds. An oval biscuit in a rich, dark green looks like the seal of a glass bottle, and features a raised characterful face at its centre. Next to it is an unevenly shaped black biscuit with grey chips and the raised shape of a hare’s face, ears, and upper legs. There are two large biscuits with jagged edges, each decorated in blue and white to look like broken pieces of delftware plates. One features the shape of a small bird surrounded by swirling lines, the other has a series of concentric circles and curved shapes. A small biscuit with a multifaceted texture replicates a knapped flint arrowhead. Next to it are a tiny hammer-shaped biscuit in pewter with delicate cross markings, and a very small gold biscuit button etched with lines, circles, and a rough star shape. The smallest biscuit is made to look like a yellow glass cufflink with decorative circles in blue, white, and red. Another small biscuit has the appearance of an aged metal button edged with decorative white and turquoise dots. Finally, there is a small angular biscuit in a terracotta colour with raised lines roughly in the shape of two intwined figures.

Some mudlarking finds survived for centuries in the muddy banks of the River Thames. Others are freshly baked tasty snacks. 🍪

This biscuit (cookie) set recreates ten of the 350+ mudlarked objects in London Museum's Secrets of the Thames exhibition.

The exhibition closes on 1 March. Don’t miss it!

The witch stiffles a laugh, she loves the second post script joke.

Starry Night.

Some people have been painting this picture I took! How cool! Grateful to have inspired their work with the details of our beautiful town. #lewisburgpa

The witch gasps. "No, not the mushroom." She turns to wake up the wizard, but changes her mind half way. She puts her slippers on and groans as she gets up. "Never a dull moment around here," she mumbles. "Here, kitty kitty kitty, give me back the portal making mushroom please..."

threatened by her gloom

"Alright, whoever you are show yourself," the witch twirls her finger to reveal a raccoon reading the wizard's spell book. "Just because he now forgets to lock up his books, doesn't give you the right to snoop, Roger!" She sighs. "That was an impressive invisibility charm though. Is it in the book?"

glaring always makes me feel better😆

Have you tried glaring at your doctor

The witch rolls here eyes and waves her hand to make the broom stop. The tower is silent. The witch smiles as she gently drifts to sleep.

Toad, all dressed up, leaves his house and heads to Frog's. From "A List" In *Frog and Toad Together*

He opened the door and walked into the morning. Soon Toad was at Frog's front door. He took the list from his pocket and crossed out: Go to Frog's House.

The witch hums to herself as she dyes the ribbon darker, dipping it into tea.

Beautiful cauliflower!

That's because the butler is the previous girl, who came back

The witch hums a love song while she prepares his remembering potion.

The witch mashes potatoes and sets the table.

Little boy (to a pigeon): Hello fishy, hello fishy, hello fishy.

I exchange a smile with the mum of a little boy in the park as a large brown leaf comes to land at his feet and he says to it: Are you ok?
