That river. In that city. YOUR city! Ancient place, inhabited since time immemorial,has begrudgingly accepted the refuse of countless generations. Thanks to you, that river gives back, in the form of tiny wonders. Treasures! And, you share them with all of us. Thank you!
Wowww Nicolaaaa a pirate pipe andddd chain mail?? Ohhh and that long fluted pipe with the decoration is gorg. Such beautiful finds. Pirate pipe is Josie’s fave. We really enjoyed sitting down together to watch your video tonight and only a day before a new one too! Yayy! ❤️
Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes I am thrilled with the pirate pipe! And well done on your recent entire MB find which I heard about. I shall look forward to seeing that on one of your upcoming videos. How special! X
@@nicolawhitemudlark awhh thank you! Still so excited about it! It will feature in Wednesday’s upload. 😀 loved seeing your little onion, it’s gorgeous. Will have to mail you and see if we can go for a lark together soon! X
The hover boys found the bottom of a onion bottle today, the teeth(yuck). Today where I am is Mothers day,so with the help of Nic (hijacking her tube for a wee moment) thank you in advance Nicola, here goes, I lost my youngest brother in January and I lost my mom this April, so even though my heart is heavy with sorrow, I wish all mothers everywhere the very best all year round , cause moms are special everyday. Thank you Nicola for a great lark, and happy Mother's day to you as well. Much love from Canada. 🇨🇦🐘🍁🤗
Hi Marion, Oh, Im so sorry to hear of your loss - of your brother and your Mom. How heartbreaking. I send you so much love and hope you don't mind me pinning this comment so that you can get some support from other people here on this channel. Thank you for your Mothers day wishes. Loads of love to you - Nicola xx
I could sit and watch Nicola all day. So informative and such a pleasant voice it's a pleasure to watch her adventures in the mud. It's also wonderful to see a beautiful person getting mud under her fingernails without freaking out. From a mountain top in North Carolina, I love the way she takes me to the Thames for a day out in London because of her I hope to visit there someday. Be well, be safe, Peace.
Nicola bring us the quality and story of the past that would normally not be a part of our daily lives. Nicola, your love for the past is why we are here.
OMG Nicola, that skull and crossbones pipe is amazing as is the history behind it! It's so lovely of you to get in touch With the Nightingale family and offer them them the pipe you found, what a treasure! Wonderful video, thank you x
Thanks Amanda. Isn't that pipe bowl just great?! I am over the moon with it. And yes, I hope I can reunite the Nightingale pipe with the family. I'll keep you updated. xx
You were missed last week. The footage of the "let it go plates" is quite touching as these times of living with Covid19 do require detachment. Your videos are quite up-lifting, and I thank you!
It's snowing here in NW Pennsylvania so I decided to stay in and watch you mudlark. I almost lost it when you said Fizzies. I remember those little tablets that kids loved to drop into a glass of water to give it different flavors. Sometimes we would just put the tablet into our mouth to our Mum's consternation and our delight. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Happy Mum's day to you and all the other Mums watching.
The fish teeth are so amazing and creepy. To think that the last thing a shrimp may see is it's impeding doom on throat teeth!😮😯😮🤤. Aww the elusive coin identity is beyond me. Love yesterday's pipes. Sorry so late to watch. Blessings Nic
I haven't gotten to watch the whole video yet, but your intro and establishing shots today filled me with such a sense of peace and happiness that I knew I needed to comment. I adore seeing baby birds following after their mamas. Thank you for these gorgeous shots today!
Thank you Kat! Im so glad you enjoy the shots. It seemed like a good day for it being Mothers Day in a few countries, and also with all the birds and their babies parading around at the moment. Love Nicola x
While I know Mother's Day has passed in the UK, still, let me express my sincere thanks to you, Nicola. Not only are you a great Mum to Angelo, but you provide all your legion of followers with hours of education and entertainment. How much I appreciate you! Lovely finds today. I like the idea of a Thames pirate smoking that pipe!
How amazing is the skull & crossbones pipe, never ceases to amaze me the things you find. You have found quite a lot of pipes over the years and it's amazing that you find ones you haven't yet seen
Nicola I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your videos. I am house baound and see little of the natural world and don’t meet many o people, thanks, keep up the excellent work.
My favorite pipe whisperer did it again! Not one but two pipes she has not found before! As usual, another Sunday adventure that does not disappoint. Thank you for the history and the wildlife too!
Love the bottle stoppers! So pretty... A PIRATE PIPE...WOW! Curious about the writing on the pottery...and a perfect whole pipe! +++ Incredible finds today!
I loved the skull and crossbones pipe! It seems to be a reminder that smoking can kill you! Happy US mother's day 🌹. When ever I see ducklings running after their mother I think she must have said " come along children, we have lots to see and do!". Best wishes and hugs from Oregon 😀
The skull and crossbones pipe was incredible, all of the pipes you found were lovely. There was a lot to absorb from your finds, especially the plates inscribed with the emotions. Human feelings always amaze me.
Nicola , there was a coin next to the rock off to the right of it when u found that Gray silvery coin .......u probably saw it when u edit ..lol I know it probably happens .. Love u and thanks for taking this 71 year old woman with you ...I adore your videos
Your pirate pipe reminded me of a Mitchell & Webb skit. "Pirates are fun!" "Yes, but they're still the baddies!". I love that you pass on some of your finds to the decedents of the person who made or owned it. Really cool that you and Germander found pieces with the same epigram at about the same time! It's the magic of mudlarking!
Another good one is The History Guy who prefaces every one of his stories that involve pirates “...after all, doesn’t every great story involve pirates?”
A wonderful video Nicola, thank you. I especially liked the piece of chain mail and skull and crossbones pipe! This has been comforting to watch, we lost our beloved dog Archie last week which was utterly heartbreaking. He was such a beautiful soul. Mudlarking is going to be one of the things I throw myself into now to keep busy and to heal. Sending much love and best wishes to you xx
I got to see all of the wonderful things that you have found it's so amazing that you have those little pipes that are hundreds of years old, the glass bottles which I love to collect here in Michigan USA. We mudlark here in our grate lakes, old dumps and gardens. In my garden I found a nice Wedgwood plate with a Rooster 🐓 on it it's one of my favorite things.
I did a bit of my own research into that pottery find on the Internet - I actually paused the video, opened a new browser window, and pitched right in - and got several hits, all concerning Sunderland ship jugs. (Particular ceramic pitchers with a proprietary attractive glaze, all made in Sunderland, and bearing the illustration of a sailing vessel.) The verse on each was: ‘This world is a good one to live in/To lend, to spend, to buy, or give in/But to beg, borrow, or get a mans own/It is such a world as never was known’. Which I took to mean "this is a good world". On reflection, I believe your friend's interpretation is probably the accurate one, though. Thanks for another great outing! The 17th Lancers bit was brilliant!
Happy Mother's Day, Nicola! The skull pipe is an amazing find and at first I thought it might be a type of memento mori. But I'm glad you researched because the true history is just as exciting. :-)
Fantastic as always. So happy you found some of your favorite things and a first time chainmail. Everything about this bid was fun and I of course love the birds. They're so peaceful even fighting over and dead eel. Lolol
Good to see you, Nic! 👋 That skull 'n crossbones clay pipe, looks so much like a great many gravestones, especially in Scotland! 💙 Love, love, love..the fizzy stopper! 💛 - hello from Denmark 🌸💕🌱
That 'pirate' pipe bowl. Love it. Amazed at the condition of these clay pipes you find. LOL I was thinking you were going to leave something behind as soon as you started putting stuff down.
Your funds today were fantastic! The pipe, chain mail, and onion bottle neck graze so much history! And while I LOVE those items, the Toulouse Geese and their babies grabbed my heart. Two females showed up at our home in far Northern California and have made their own home here for two years now. Thanks for your love and care of the feathery finds, as well! ❤️
Greetings from sunny South Africa Nicola. My partner and I are very fond of your Mudlarking channel, when we see a new video the excitement builds:) We went "sea larking" this past weekend but sadly the tide got the better of us and it was on the high. Thank you for these inspirational videos
Nicola, I was watching your cinematography and music after finding those to angst plates, it absolutely marvelous the way you faded to the three birds and the boat and then back to the shore and finds. That is talent!!!! It's all those editing skills that like an eye for items, only come with time and a desire for perfection. I wasn't going to add another comment but that was a special moment. Cheers, Redux, Rik:)
Happy Mother's Day (probably belated for you) from across the Pond! I hope it was lovely. As an SCA member (Society for Creative Anachronisms) I've watched chain mail be made by many, many people for over 35 years, and every one of them who'd found or purchased scraps of true historical mail has brought it out and proudly displayed it; so I was pretty sure you'd found the real thing, what with the careful welds. Nice, and amazing that you saw it there in the mud! Loved the pipes too, especially the skull-and-crossbones one from the 17th; that was very neat.
Love that unusual pipe bowl! I wonder if my koi have those throat teeth. Koi are hybrid carp, after all. The chain mail was astounding. But the little fluffy bums you started with brought a smile to my face.
Enjoyed watching this on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It is Mother’s Day here so I will wish you a Happy Mother’s Day even though I know you celebrate on a different date.
I do love those glass bottle stoppers. You always find such amazing ones. I imagine a glass jar full of them in a window with the light shining through. nice!
Hiya Nicola, Another great video, thank you. I liked the pirate idea more than the lancers, but such is life. I thought you looked very lovely, clean fingernails et al, you do scrub up well! Loved the baby birds with their mums'. You have a fantastic ability to find what to us is hidden, very envious, but as I'm binge-watching I am seeing more, when you tell us where to look that is. Stay safe, Steve...
Happy Canadian Mother's Day everyone! You too Nicola! Great finds today...love that bubbly bottle top! One day you'll find a full onion bottle and not have to reassemble it! Happy, happy day to you!
Another mind boggling video .Thanks Nicola .The river , nature and finds be they valuable or not illustrate the continuity of life which flows along no matter what .Items are waiting to be found and you never disappoint .Many thanks and already awaiting the next .Greetings from Berlin , Helena :) 👍
Thanks for another great Sunday afternoon delight of historical/archaeological mud larking journey. Next week this time I will be heading out to a secret location to start birthday celebration for Monday! Thanks Nicola!
Yeah right! When I am out and about I may post a few on my Facebook page. Seldom do any posting since friends and family aren’t showing much interests in what I do. I’d be happy to share them with you!
Awesome findings ..... I love the token n all the information and knowledge about the pipes . I love the National Geographic part of your video with the different birds Enjoy n have a great time With Love from SAM Guwahati Assam INDIA
You have done again Nicole, another enjoyable video and a superb find with that 17th Lancers pipe bowl! And that metal tag from Shropshire, so interesting. Sue and Ian, Australia
@@nicolawhitemudlark hi , I made lasagna tonight ,I really enjoy watching your videos while I am cooking on a sunday evening, its become a ritual ,I find it takes me away from all the doom and gloom going on around the world . So please don't stop , I am now itching to do some larking myself one day. Your videos are very professional and always high quality. Thank you .
I honestly dont know how , after all these years i came across your page only a few months ago ... i , being a transplant from u.k to usa after bein adopted in 68 .. this is sooo cool,, i would love to do mudlarking ... love your videos .... i said it on the first video and ill say it again.... you are quite beautiful
Nice to see you back Nic , I’m so happy for you that you found the skull and crossbones 🏴☠️ pipe ! Well done 👏 another wonderful video I usually watch in bed as your voice is so calming 😊
Some really nice finds Nicola, I love the Pirate pipe bowl and the fluted pipe! The fizzy glass stopper is beautiful -how unusual! Always love your footage of the wildlife along the Thames..... the footage of the crow and the seagull sharing the dead eel is a rare opportunity to witness xx
Was going thru some personal stuff, Having difficult thoughts of others, Heard the letting go song, Immediately let it go so I didn't make a mistake. Such a beautiful song in this excellent video. Thank you.
Beautiful finds ,the skull and crossbones, the fluted one. Thanks for the adventure and interesting history behind these artifacts. Happy mother's day! Great video ,thanks Nicola
Another great video Nic! Loved the writing on the piece of pottery ... I shall look it up to find out more about the piece. Also look forward to seeing what you make of the piece of metal. Hope the Nightingale family contact you for the pipe from their ancestor!! xx
The coin had some lettering remaining on one side, maybe you could do a rubbing with paper and pencil to see what else might show. There are apps the are used to tweak images to reveal pictographs that could be useful as well. Super cool finds! The pipes were nice. I found the coin by searching ITT RE: 1 farthing 1895-1901
Thank you for sharing this interesting day of finds! I really liked the skull and crossbones pipe and, as a long-time viewer, I think that may be my favorite one of all! Good job, Nicola, you must certainly have been a pirate in a previous life. Now, about those fish teeth! What? Ewww! I hope you washed your hands! LOL! Happy Mother's Day Nicola!
It is very kind of you to acknowledge the individual who had written on the plates and wish them well... I will wish along with you that things are better for them now! Thank You 😊❤
@@dudley8671 , thanks, that is just my nature, all of us struggle at some time or other and by acknowledging their pain somehow lightens it. Sending out positive energy to that person. Keep well Dudley, keep safe xx
THANKS Nicola. You popped into my head this week as I was walking through a deep puddle and my wellies failed. Lol. They served me nearly 20 years though lol. So great to have a video by you. Wonderful waterfowl and great research.
Arrrrrgh me hearty Nicola it be Mothers day today so may ye be blest with Pirate treasure today ,may your pipe collection grow with wondrous treasures.The opening shows burgeoning life on the Thames shore ,lets hope your larking is also burgeoning .I among many missed you last week and seeing your smart new top I guess the French Navy have granted you furlough. Some like "Fizzy" bottle stoppers now if the content was sparkling and fizzy we'd have the start of a party so Nicola sweet one keep digging. Take care be good Cheers from Canada with ooodles of virtual hugs and kisses.XX
That river.
In that city.
YOUR city!
Ancient place, inhabited since time immemorial,has begrudgingly accepted the refuse of countless generations.
Thanks to you, that river gives back, in the form of tiny wonders.
Treasures!
And, you share them with all of us.
Thank you!
well said.
Thank you Charles. What a wonderful poem that is!! I love it xx
So well empoemed :)
Who knew they had teeth? I sure didn’t. Thank you for telling us!
I gasped at the skull and cross bones pipe because I knew Nicola was going to love it!
you were absolutely right! I love it ) x
I think that’s my favourite find by Nicola, ever ☠️
It's historical evidence of the 1st anti smoking campaign. 😲👍

Insert here.
You know seeing a new video from her makes a bad day feel much better.
You were missed last week. The footage of the "let it go plates" is quite touching as these times of living with Covid19 do require detachment. Your videos are quite up-lifting, and I thank you!
Thank you! Yes, I agree - we all need to let things go sometimes and I hope whoever sent those plates to the bottom of the Thames feels better! x

Lovely description of Nicola.
Love the bottle stoppers! So pretty... A PIRATE PIPE...WOW! Curious about the writing on the pottery...and a perfect whole pipe! +++ Incredible finds today!
I sure do enjoy the pictures of the different birds with their babies . Nature at its finest.
Watching you find these things and listening and you explaining them all is delightful! I love your English accent.
Thanks Nick! So glad you enjoy xx
I loved the skull and crossbones pipe! It seems to be a reminder that smoking can kill you! Happy US mother's day 🌹. When ever I see ducklings running after their mother I think she must have said " come along children, we have lots to see and do!". Best wishes and hugs from Oregon 😀
Thanks Karen! xx
The skull and crossbones pipe was incredible, all of the pipes you found were lovely. There was a lot to absorb from your finds, especially the plates inscribed with the emotions. Human feelings always amaze me.
Me too!
Nicola , there was a coin next to the rock off to the right of it when u found that Gray silvery coin .......u probably saw it when u edit ..lol I know it probably happens ..
Love u and thanks for taking this 71 year old woman with you ...I adore your videos
8:45 Thank you, Nicola! I'm always much less anxious when I see you wearing protective gloves!
Thanks Sheila! x
thankyou nicola for an enjoyable video great finds thanks for explaining your finds have a great week nicola
Your pirate pipe reminded me of a Mitchell & Webb skit. "Pirates are fun!" "Yes, but they're still the baddies!". I love that you pass on some of your finds to the decedents of the person who made or owned it. Really cool that you and Germander found pieces with the same epigram at about the same time! It's the magic of mudlarking!
Thank you. Yes, it's all rather magical and Im fortunate to have so many fabulous mudlarking friends to refer to! x
Another good one is The History Guy who prefaces every one of his stories that involve pirates “...after all, doesn’t every great story involve pirates?”
Another enjoyable video! I always come away from these knowing more than when it started ~ my Sunday morning history lesson. Thank you!
Thanks Kim. So glad you enjoyed x
A wonderful video Nicola, thank you. I especially liked the piece of chain mail and skull and crossbones pipe! This has been comforting to watch, we lost our beloved dog Archie last week which was utterly heartbreaking. He was such a beautiful soul. Mudlarking is going to be one of the things I throw myself into now to keep busy and to heal. Sending much love and best wishes to you xx
I got to see all of the wonderful things that you have found it's so amazing that you have those little pipes that are hundreds of years old, the glass bottles which I love to collect here in Michigan USA. We mudlark here in our grate lakes, old dumps and gardens. In my garden I found a nice Wedgwood plate with a Rooster 🐓 on it it's one of my favorite things.
NICOLA, I NEVER TIRE of your video's !!! 😍 Even if it's a boring day with hardly any finds, you show us the BEAUTY of nature !!! THANK YOU ! ❤
I did a bit of my own research into that pottery find on the Internet - I actually paused the video, opened a new browser window, and pitched right in - and got several hits, all concerning Sunderland ship jugs. (Particular ceramic pitchers with a proprietary attractive glaze, all made in Sunderland, and bearing the illustration of a sailing vessel.)
The verse on each was: ‘This world is a good one to live in/To lend, to spend, to buy, or give in/But to beg, borrow, or get a mans own/It is such a world as never was known’. Which I took to mean "this is a good world". On reflection, I believe your friend's interpretation is probably the accurate one, though.
Thanks for another great outing! The 17th Lancers bit was brilliant!
Thank you so much for what you do!! You are a joy to watch, always makes my day!
Thanks Jeremy. How lovely of you! x
I remember the video when you found the onion bottle very well! Still watch it now and then because of the beautiful music accompanyeing it ♥
Happy Mother's Day, Nicola! The skull pipe is an amazing find and at first I thought it might be a type of memento mori. But I'm glad you researched because the true history is just as exciting. :-)
Fantastic as always. So happy you found some of your favorite things and a first time chainmail. Everything about this bid was fun and I of course love the birds. They're so peaceful even fighting over and dead eel. Lolol
Thank you ❤️
Those bottles are really beautiful. I love the iridescent colours on them.
Love the pirate pipe ( 17 th Lancers ) who better to find it but you ?! Great video as always . Always look forward to your vlogs.
Good to see you, Nic! 👋
That skull 'n crossbones clay pipe, looks so much like a great many gravestones, especially in Scotland! 💙
Love, love, love..the fizzy stopper! 💛
- hello from Denmark 🌸💕🌱
Thanks Zandain! yes, the fizzy stopper is so very cool. I've not seen one that fizzy x
Your videos are relaxing . This one was amazingly relaxing . Thanks for posting .
Thanks for another great video. You and Simon have become part of my Sunday afternoon tradition
That 'pirate' pipe bowl. Love it. Amazed at the condition of these clay pipes you find. LOL I was thinking you were going to leave something behind as soon as you started putting stuff down.
I thought the skull and crossbones would just be a momento mori. Very cool.

I'm so delighted you're enjoying them Sarah ❤️
"Death or Glory" Also a great song by the Clash. Pipes were great ,but the chain mail was a huge find!
Yes you're right!!
Greetings from sunny South Africa Nicola. My partner and I are very fond of your Mudlarking channel, when we see a new video the excitement builds:) We went "sea larking" this past weekend but sadly the tide got the better of us and it was on the high. Thank you for these inspirational videos
I would love one of those skull & cross-bones pipes. I will swop you hahaha!
Nicola,
I was watching your cinematography and music after finding those to angst plates, it
absolutely marvelous the way you faded to the three birds and the boat and
then back to the shore and finds.
That is talent!!!!
It's all those editing skills that like an eye for items, only come with time and
a desire for perfection.
I wasn't going to add another comment but that was a special moment.
Cheers, Redux,
Rik:)
Thank you so much Rik. I really appreciate your thoughts on that. xx
ps - I like the opportunity to get a little bit creative now and again! that was one such moment x
Nicola, you have me in love with mudlarking on the Thames. Lovely finds.
Happy Mother's Day (probably belated for you) from across the Pond! I hope it was lovely.
As an SCA member (Society for Creative Anachronisms) I've watched chain mail be made by many, many people for over 35 years, and every one of them who'd found or purchased scraps of true historical mail has brought it out and proudly displayed it; so I was pretty sure you'd found the real thing, what with the careful welds. Nice, and amazing that you saw it there in the mud! Loved the pipes too, especially the skull-and-crossbones one from the 17th; that was very neat.
Thank you! Im so delighted to have found the chain mail. Im so relieved I picked it up!x
The duck-ducks and geese-geese with their floofy babies at the beginning! 😍😍
I think there were coots too.
The beginning was lovely, it's like everything is coming back to life, apres Covid .
Thanks Martin. yes I agree. xx
Love that unusual pipe bowl! I wonder if my koi have those throat teeth. Koi are hybrid carp, after all. The chain mail was astounding. But the little fluffy bums you started with brought a smile to my face.

Happy Canadian Mother's Day everyone! You too Nicola! Great finds today...love that bubbly bottle top! One day you'll find a full onion bottle and not have to reassemble it! Happy, happy day to you!
Just spotted the first Canadian goslings here in Edmonton yesterday. Wake up to Nicola's mudlarking with the birds. Spring has sprung.
Vielen lieben Dank.
@@constancemiller3753 not here in NL yet...still cold and windy and grey...I pity any baby birds out there in their nests around here! Lol
All your finds are fantastic, I love the history you give us with each of your finds. really interesting Thank your.

Water, Animals and history. What a lovely mixture. 👏
What a lovely way to put it! yes, you're right it's a good combination xx

You have done again Nicole, another enjoyable video and a superb find with that 17th Lancers pipe bowl! And that metal tag from Shropshire, so interesting. Sue and Ian, Australia
Nice message to the Author-of-Plates, I’m convinced we all need to carry a Pop song in our pockets now and then… take care Nicola, good to see you!

Some really nice finds Nicola, I love the Pirate pipe bowl and the fluted pipe! The fizzy glass stopper is beautiful -how unusual!
Always love your footage of the wildlife along the Thames..... the footage of the crow and the seagull sharing the dead eel is a rare opportunity to witness xx

I really like the way you show the nature going on around you in your videos... ☺ Don't forget my fish ! 😀😀😀
Your videos are so charming informative and calming in these difficult times x
Hi Tommy, I'm so glad you enjoy them ❤️
Enjoyed the birds and all the goodies. I liked the bottle stoppers.
Was going thru some personal stuff,
Having difficult thoughts of others,
Heard the letting go song, Immediately let it go so I didn't make a mistake.
Such a beautiful song in this excellent video.
Thank you.
I'm so glad it spoke to you. There's a lot to be said for letting go. 🥰
What a great grouping of finds! And that truly is the most beautiful bottle stopper!! Thank you for sharing your mudlarking adventures. Kindly❤Dudley
Thank you Dudley! xx
@@nicolawhitemudlark You are welcome🙂❤
Beautiful finds ,the skull and crossbones, the fluted one. Thanks for the adventure and interesting history behind these artifacts. Happy mother's day! Great video ,thanks Nicola
Another great video Nic! Loved the writing on the piece of pottery ... I shall look it up to find out more about the piece. Also look forward to seeing what you make of the piece of metal. Hope the Nightingale family contact you for the pipe from their ancestor!! xx
Thanks Mum xxx
Nicole...it amazes me the river still gives up so much history and treasure. Thank you for sharing...I love it pretty lady. ❤ from Texas.
Thanks!
Thank you very much! That's so very kind of you. Love Nicola ❤️
The coin had some lettering remaining on one side, maybe you could do a rubbing with paper and pencil to see what else might show. There are apps the are used to tweak images to reveal pictographs that could be useful as well. Super cool finds! The pipes were nice.
I found the coin by searching ITT RE: 1 farthing 1895-1901
Thank you x
Thank you for sharing this interesting day of finds! I really liked the skull and crossbones pipe and, as a long-time viewer, I think that may be my favorite one of all! Good job, Nicola, you must certainly have been a pirate in a previous life. Now, about those fish teeth! What? Ewww! I hope you washed your hands! LOL! Happy Mother's Day Nicola!
Thanks Nicola, love your beautiful blouse, hope that persons life is getting better now xx
It is very kind of you to acknowledge the individual who had written on the plates and wish them well... I will wish along with you that things are better for them now! Thank You 😊❤
@@dudley8671 , thanks, that is just my nature, all of us struggle at some time or other and by acknowledging their pain somehow lightens it. Sending out positive energy to that person. Keep well Dudley, keep safe xx
THANKS Nicola. You popped into my head this week as I was walking through a deep puddle and my wellies failed. Lol. They served me nearly 20 years though lol. So great to have a video by you. Wonderful waterfowl and great research.
Thanks Annette! xx
20 years, I think you got your money's worth out of them, I have 20 year old shoes 👞 too. 😂
Totally love the pirate pipe - so awesome
Great to see you back! Thank you for sharing.
Arrrrrgh me hearty Nicola it be Mothers day today so may ye be blest with Pirate treasure today ,may your pipe collection grow with wondrous treasures.The opening shows burgeoning life on the Thames shore ,lets hope your larking is also burgeoning .I among many missed you last week and seeing your smart new top I guess the French Navy have granted you furlough. Some like "Fizzy" bottle stoppers now if the content was sparkling and fizzy we'd have the start of a party so Nicola sweet one keep digging.
Take care be good Cheers from Canada with ooodles of virtual hugs and kisses.XX
