    message in a bottle

    working on a demolition site at an old army barracks at tidworth near salisbury england i found this old bottle which had been cemented in with the brickwork.later after cleaning it up some i saw that there was some rolled up paper inside.written on it is the following message. 21st june 1905 i write this on the longest day of the year the best of luck.
    it also has 2 signatures and states they were carpenters and from newcastle.
    the bottle is a clarkes world famed blood mixture.
    not worth a great deal but something i will keep hold of.

    Very Cool!

    Maybe it's time to stop not doing what you pretended you can do and can't, and start doing the thing that you can't do, but can no longer pretend that you can.

    hadnt ever thought about trying to trace up details,but now i think i will hand over details to my sister who is good at tracing family histories.the demolition job used to turn up some interesting things now and then.a nazi flag found in a loft,i sold that on ebay after having it removed once for being a symbol of hate.just took off the pictures.i checked that the buyer was a collector and not a far right political type.
