I had a bit of time to kill before my evening plans so headed back to Blackfriars beach and there seemed to be a lot of pottery sherds, maybe as the tide was going out, and I wanted to stay longer, but I’d already stayed too long.

A man asked me what I was looking for and I told him just bits of pottery and showed him the piece in my hand and he showed me the pipes he'd collected and said he's like a child, has to pick things up, but then doesn't know what to do with them. I told him I'm making a mosaic. I later found his collection of pipes abandoned on the foreshore, so I suppose he decided to leave them.

Wildlife on the foreshore included a fluffy big chick of some kind, maybe a baby seagull, and a ladybird, as well as a unicorn.

Of course, the day after that, ladybirds took over London and halted cricket matches and the skies were dotted red with a loveliness of ladybirds.
