I've been chucking my recent clay pipe finds (#found #mudlarking on the #thames) into this glass box over the last few months. I tend not to take pictures of them on the #foreshore as I get lost in the moment - plucking them like flowers from the #mud. 1600s-1700s #claypipes

My collection of weird intoxicating tales is almost a reality. Been checking galleys this week so nearly there. I hope you guys enjoy it. Will let @DrinkingStudies and @drughistory know when it's out 🍷👻
Still to come in the #TalesoftheWeird series – strange stories from the sunken continent, a dizzying collection of demonic drinks and tales of intoxication, winding narratives of alternative histories and parallel realms, and occult horrors of pagan sites and ancient rites…

2024 will be 70 years since Terry’s discontinued its ‘chocolate apple’ - the counterpart to its ‘chocolate orange’. I’m so curious to find out how it tasted. Come on @Carambar_France, limited edition anniversary run!? 1/-
