All we've ever found is mouldy rubber dog toy and an endless stream of bricks and half-bricks, slightly surprising since our house is timber and we don't know where they're from!<br /><br />Call in the time team, those guys are brilliant.Adrian Tritschlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845659467495275560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-34418653782908599572009-05-13T00:39:00.000+01:002009-05-13T00:39:00.000+01:00Hi Heather, ha, I'm not sure Time Team would be in...Hi Heather, ha, I'm not sure Time Team would be interested, it's been farming land for ever I think! No hidden Tudor manors here. Glad you liked this post, and Buster! I'm thinking weaving with the bundle - maybe!! You'd enjoy it. It's fun.<br />Off to the UK tomorrow, back late Saturday.<br />xx<br /><br />Hello Sue, we can't have 2 archeologists in the family, my brother is one already! Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Hi K, I'd never heard of Ellimans! Fancy you having used it! We know that the family who lived here since the 1800s are the Houlihans and farmers, but one of them might have 'cobbled' on the side!!!BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-37699085389498616822009-05-12T19:38:00.000+01:002009-05-12T19:38:00.000+01:00ooh I've used Ellimans before - beats deep heat an...ooh I've used Ellimans before - beats deep heat and the like any day! :-) I remember chuckling that there's a version for horses.<br /><br />GREAT finds, I couldn't resist either.

I remember the embrocation from when I was a child - one of my grandparents must have used it. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your bundle contents. I think I'd like to try that myself.

Thanks to the Census we can be pretty certain about the family who were using them. For me it really starts to bring the long history of the cottage and its land to life.Twisted willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984448155644528425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224955469243279371.post-73563302244036780552009-05-12T04:33:00.000+01:002009-05-12T04:33:00.000+01:00Thank you Mildred.
