She was so afraid she would miss your video. I had to tell her we could watch it together anytime even at the hospital. She has pneumonia.And is a big fan of yours.

    My grandfather ( I’m, er, over 60 and from Scotland) used to say that if you got stung by nettles, rub them with dock leaves. He claimed they always grew near each other. So we never worried about nettles, just rubbed the stings with dock 🍃 leaves. I urge you to try it. It really works. Dock leaves are big wide long leaves that grow in bunches. Another great video. Always makes me smile. You take me along for the adventures…. I love it 🎉

      If you can't find dock leaves. Carry a tiny container of alkaline. Milk. Bi carbonate. etc. The stings are rather painful and last for an annoying long time. Wonderful video though. Xxxx

    The broken tile would have been so pretty glued in the back of a shadow box and used as wall art. I’m guessing it was hand painted and would be wonderful in a collection of 3 or more in different designs and sizes. The shape it was broken into was even a plus in its appeal. Love that you found the little doll in such beautiful condition.

    I am new to your channel, from the US, and enjoy your videos very much. I have a similar hobby in that I search for Native American artifacts . When you found the porcelain doll by only seeing a small portion of it exposed it reminded me that finding arrowheads, etc. often you only see a small edge or tip exposed and you learn to search for those rather than a whole piece exposed, which is very rare. Then the excitement in the recovery if the piece is intact is really the best.

    What a wonderful day you had. Lots of dolls bits and bobs and a whole frozen charlotte at last. The flutted vase was nice too and would have sat in a ring with others for flowers. I wonder if the strange holey thing was an element out of an old gas fire as when I first worked for the PDSA I had a gas fire in my office with things like that in. You two be careful walking through those overgrown dumps we don't want to lose you down a big hole!!

I'd visited Scotland for a month and London fir a week just before we all got locked in, so it was so nice to revisit the landscape, see breathtaking nature sometimes (like when you went for gems in the mountains or seaglass and granates on the beach) and the little tune you chose for your channel signature will forever produce special associations with the comfort and wonder of your mudlarks in troubled times of isolation.
