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…
