    LOL the one time I sleep through my alarm lol Great job, would love to hear more history, I love history and love hearing it from a younger generation and seeing things through their eyes.
    I love the hard work you produce, It is beautifully edited and you have such a natural talent for getting in all of the beauty and having a focal point.
    Only thing I have to say is "Slow down and smell the roses" Take your time because when you do you notice more than you first expect and life fly by already that sometimes it is best to slow down and soak it all in.
    You live in such a beautiful place, you have great access to everything there. I find it horrid cause so many young people hate where they are and can't wait to get away from it but you really live in such an inspirational and amazing area. You are brilliant combing it through... go hit that bottle dump before someone else watches your video and tries to get to it first!!!
    Love you my dear friend across the pond

    Great video, but a couple of slight inaccuracies. Smeed Dean is still alive and well, and Marshall’s are a cement plant next door (nothing to do with clay brick manufacturing). Smeed Dean is the last clay brick manufacturing site in Kent, and we currently produce 16 million bricks per year. The digging you are doing is on our land, and the bottles are from the fire pit ash that was delivered to Smeed Dean on the barges returning from London. That is what gives the Smeed Dean London Stock its distinctive black spotting. Unfortunately, the bricks you were handling, with the slightly rounded frogs, were produced in the last 3 years and not vintage items. Those bricks are weathered, crushed and then added back into the mix. If you want any more information on Smeed Dean and it’s history, please feel free to reach out.
