It’s the end of September. Haven’t had much time for #mudlarking this month but here are nine sweet finds spotted over the last few weeks. From the top, left to right: • corner piece from a Medieval Penn tile featuring fleur-de-lis pattern ⚜️ • limestone marble, possibly from Salzburg 17th/18thC 1/

Nine finds from September on the Thames Foreshore. From the top, left to right - a corner of a medieval floor tile showing a fleur-de-lis pattern, a limestone marble from Salzburg (late 17th/18thC), a clay pipe bowl showing a 16thC man dressed in headgear from that era, the pipe made by Gambier of Paris.
Middle row - a green glass duck, a handful of handmade 14th to 18thC dress pins, a blue on white Transferware sherd showing a waterman in a boat.
Bottom row - a child’s lead toy car toy, a sherd of blue & manganese Westerwald grey stoneware pottery, a piece of black flint showing a fossilised bivalve shell.

Past the equinox and the garden is still chugging along. (Though I won't show you the sad state of the vegetable bed.) We're on an urban heat island, so we often have something in bloom through October and even into November, though it'll start slowing down as we lose the light.

This 1974 Fiat UK leaflet shows that the company was originally planning to sell the Polish-made 125P through its own dealer network. It would have been interesting to see how it fared in showrooms alongside Fiat's existing saloons - the 128, the new 131, and the 132. #carbluesky

And making this policy without legislation to fund colleges and drive costs down means it's an attempt to prevent people from going to college and majoring in anything this administration doesn't like or thinks is a threat to its power.

One of the most aesthetically successful of SEAT's occasional flashes of independence during its long association with Fiat was the 4-door version of the rear-engined 850, first seen in 1967. Featuring a longer floorpan, improving the car's looks, the model had no direct Fiat counterpart.
