They call it London’s beach, but if you value your health don’t even think about having a swim :-!

There are several access points down to the Thames along the Southbank.

Here, at low tide, you will find all manner of beautious object – if you like this kind of treasure.

I just bought my lovely Canon camera and our river walk finds have provided a perfect opportunity to try out some new features………….. (the macro lens is a useful extra for this kind of detail)

Of our finds, especially beautiful are the fragments of glass, made iridescent by   –  ?  –  that secret ‘Thames Water’ recipe

also bones and teeth (animal, I hope), and some classic ironmongery too.
