Lo all,

Doing a bit of minor outside work and it presents the perfect
opportunity to bury a time capsule. Something I've always wanted to do
since seeing Blue Peter's abortive efforts as a kid in the 70s.

I've a pretty good idea what I want to put in it [see below], but I'm
much less sure about how to preserve the integrity of whatever box I
put it in, and how long the contents will last even if the box stays
leakproof.


We've got one bricked up behind the fireplace in a metal biccy tin. It can't
come out unless the brickwork's removed so it should stay where it is for a
good few years!

I wouldn't bury one in the ground, personally, because it's quite possible
it wouldn't ever be found.
