I found two interesting things yesterday

Which made my visit worthwhile

As I crossed the flood plains of the Rother

I found a fragment of a white glazed tile

Which is likely to have been carried downstream

During the midwinter floods

Later when in Rye and in the vicinity of the castle

I found a small piece of a terracotta roof tile

That had fallen from an eighteenth century house

I have placed both of these finds

In a glass jar with a pink plastic lid

To ensure that they are preserved
