Bits from Blenheim
There have been people living and working on Blenheim Farm in Westmoreland County since the beginning of the eighteenth century. The place is now farmed by a family called Latane and home to fifteen acres of organic produce. Pieces of decorated stoneware and porcelain, green glass, bits of metal and bottles turn up after a storm. Bricks are abundant as evidence of an old kiln. Arrowheads are a rare find but dozens have accumulated in recent decades. These pieces I found while working in the chard following a heavy storm in May.
