    you don't need to change a thing Nicola. Your new boots are smashing. I wish I could buy some here in Los Angeles but alas no Thames or much rain. I'm fighting cancer and your channel has given me so much joy. Thank You:-)

    Funny thing,every so often,one of your older videos pops up,and sometimes one that I haven’t seen appears!
    This is one of them.
    It is twofold in importance.
    Firstly,the unveiling of the pink wellingtons!!!
    And secondly,most importantly,the verbal announcement of your legendary Cormorant cigarette lighter sculpture,wow!
    I always wondered where that ended up.
    If it’s in a museum,tell me which one,I want to see it.
    If it’s in a private collection,tell me where,so that I can break in and see it.😂
    I am officially a month away,to the day,of actually mudlarking in London,and yes,I’m SUPER exited!!!

    Wonder how many Christmas dinners that old Santa has seen, imagine how many children he's seen opening their presents, the joy and happiness &now thrown away, BUT he's now in your hands hopefully he'll see some more good times.

    Magnificent, sister in the mud! My husband and I came to the assistance of Mrs. Mallard with 3 babies crossing a busy street (Springdale, in Huntington Beach, California), with little "Moe" with the gimpy leg trailing behind trying to keep up. I got out into traffic and waved back the cars (3 lane roadway), and they did stop so I could shoo the mama and babies to the side of the road. All but Moe could navigate the curb, so I put my hand underneath little Moe and helped him up. Then I looked around and thought "this is no place for my little friends", so we gathered up mama and the three babies onto my lap in the car, and we drove down the road to a local park. We got out, we put all three babies in the pond and then put mama down with them. Off they went. We returned to the park every week until one day, we stopped and got out of the car and watched as mama flew off from the pond with her three older babies flying off with her. Little Moe had grown up to be a healthy boy and he was off with the rest of them having a good flight. I love your filming of the animals and birds. I so want to be there!!!!!!!! :-) We did rescue a baby dove, who now lives with us, we named him Millinnium Malcolm and he sings to us every day, and we have a little goat. We're all in the house together. Thank you for your wonderful videos. You are an inspiration.

The end with what you put together with the plastic you had found was fantastic. Your mind seems to always be thinking of ”well now what will I find to makes some magic today”. Keep doing what you do and we will watch you if you share your video with us. God Bless.

    I love watching your videos and seeing all the amazing things you find! I live near the ocean and love to go collect shells on the beach and then arrange them into shapes on the sand - similar to your lighter-fish. Since they are natural, I usually leave the shell creations behind for others to find and enjoy.

    What a Fun video Nicola! And I Love that parting music! The wild life is always a treat and the baby ducklings and colts, baby thing are just down right cute, bar none. Thanks Most Kindly and I Love your art. Can't wait to see the sculpture you are doing for your September event. Won't get to London most likely but am looking forward to the pictures and videos. Sounds like a great and fun event. Like your son's coat and the button makes it extra unique and special, a one of a kind indeed. Great finds in the Thames and I know that gold object is waiting for you to find it. A rare gold coin centuries old would be very nice early piece of jewelry on a gold chain. Thanks Again! DaveyJO in Pa. p.s. I will be making some turtles in the near future and will send pics when I do.

  • @cass276
    @cass276 5 років тому +3

    Hi Nicola
    Looks like a nice Victorian Royal Marines button @10.00.
    And you know, all those .303 rounds you keep finding in the Thames,...Most of the British fighters, Spitfires, Hurricanes, (eight .303 guns each) and Defiant night fighters etc, used that type of ammunition in the early part of the war i.e The Battle of Britain & The Blitz.
    As the guns were fired, the empty casing's would be ejected from chutes under the aircraft's wings and fall to earth.
    Southern England must be absolutely littered with them.
    The Luftwaffe Bombers used to use the Thames as a guide when attacking London, and so they must have come under fire from our fighters so I wondered are, some of those empty casings from those battles?.....just a thought!
    Cracking video as always!
    Regards
    Chris.

    First of all I LOVE the new look and the pink boots! Second you are an amazing artist and what you have done with plastic is very cool. I love the ballet dancer. I have seen many of your glass fish of course and many other plastic creations and all are fabulous. Please please take many pictures at the festival in September and don't forget to add in your plastic sculpture and booth. In my opinion you are the best artist/mudlarker in town but I'm a little bias since you are my favorite of all. I can't wait to get my package from you when you have time to send it. If I'm ever in London you will be the first to know I'm coming as I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and others who save history from the Thames. Can't wait for you next video Nicola. Take care. Elizabeth (oh and I love your sons "new" jacket. It's a piece of art all of its own)

    @YsabetJustYsabet 5 років тому

    What a beautiful video! I'm rather envious of those pink boots; you make them look great! Loved the plastic art at the end, too, in particular the black bird-- a cormorant? Oddly enough we have cormorants out here in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona-- I live in Tucson, which is a nice-sized city with a few natural ponds and rivers (though those are only full of water when it rains), and the cormorants seem to like the hot weather and crowd around our ponds and rare springs. That fish you made was just lovely; the hollow lighters' plastic caught the light (appropriately enough) and made it kind of luminous. Wish I was going to be in London for September, but since I can't I'll keep an eye out for new videos!
