I seem to have a habit of finding old spectacles. I found a pair in Devon in a mud bank. Round and horn rimmed,they had been there many years and I pondered on the person who lost them, probably nodding off to sleep on the bench reading the paper only to awake and they were lost in the undergrowth for ever. I went back to photograph them in situ but my friend Mary who was in on the secret find had carefully covered them over and i never could find them after that. Anyway it happened again whilst digging over a potato furrow.
