A Tough Spot to Reach gives up some Wicked Treasures - Mudlarking with Nicola White (October 2022)

- How lucky we were to be able to reach an area of the Thames which is generally out of reach at the moment. It meant we were able to pick up all sorts of little treasures which have laid undiscovered for a very long time. There seemed to be finds related to quite a few vices - alcohol, gambling and tobacco! During this outing Simon Bourne of Si-Finds and I went out with Duncan and Frank of the Maritime Volunteer Service. Do look them up to see what they do and if you're in London and would like to learn how to drive a boat, they might be exactly the people you are looking for. Their website is here:-

When I mudlark I wear muck boots which are my absolute favourite boots. I prefer the hot pink ones! You can find muckboots here:-

I use a lot of black and white old clips in my videos and I source them from the internet archive. It's an amazing archive:-

If you would like to try mudlarking then you need a permit from the Port of London Authority. You can find all the details here:-

Thank you for watching.

During the time I was homeless and unemployed due to COVID, a local merchant was so kind as to fill my metal thermos jug with boiling water every night. I told him that I wrapped it in a blanket and slept with it for warmth. He filled it every night, and enabled me to get to sleep despite the cold. I bought food when I could afford it. (they had .50 egg rolls) You mentioned the hot water bottle. It was wonderful, and reminded me that someone CARED that I was cold. Housed and employed now, but I will NEVER forget that kindness. That is VALUABLE; as you very soon lose all hope/trust of life. It was the few caring people who reached out that helped me regain my serenity. If you've never been homeless or jobless, if you're now elderly, it is the worst time to start sleeping on the ground and scrounging and begging for food. My love and care to all those trapped outside in the elements.
Thank you. And thank you to the person who filled your hot water bottle. I trust things are better for you now. ❤️
If I had known you I would have tried to help
6 minutes in. Just waltz past a cartridge
I am so glad that you have found a home, just ask for help. We are there to help each other, no matter how small a gift. Merry Christmas.
I totally get where you were coming from because I went through homeless too. One volunteer at this shelter in Boston let me sleep in her car because I was one day early for my time back at this one shelter. I'm glad you are in much better circumstances. People take for granted having their own kitchen and bathroom where you could shower/bathe. I think the one thing I missed the most was having a bathtub to just soak in. I'm glad to have a place that has a tub with a shower head so I could have the option. I also love having my own kitchen where I can explore different cuisines. Tomorrow I am making Shepherd's Pie
Hi Nicola, some info on the printers type you often find. In 1958 I started a 6-year apprenticeship as a Compositor, in London. At that time all apprentices did a one day weekly day release at the London College of Printing, then in Stamford Street-very near to the Rivet Thames. A large part of the time spent there was, for us trainee Compositors, hand-setting the back-to-front pieces of type, from the type case into a hand-held composing stick, making words and sentences. After the article was proof-read and printed, the type then had to be ‘dissed’ (distributed) back into the same type case to be used again. To some of the lazier trainees the tedious task of dissing could be avoided by putting the chunks of type into pockets and at lunch time throwing it from the bridge into the river below. This is why you find lots of type on the Thames fore shore, especially near Blackfriars and Waterloo bridges. In about 1962 a new print college was opened at Elephant & Castle, which meant the closure of the old building in Stamford Street which had been in use for many years.
This would explain the large amount of different pieces of ‘monotype’ still nestling in the mud of the Thames. I’ve been a subscriber of your very enjoyable videos since you first started’ Tideline Art’ and still love to watch your antics with Sy-Fi etc. Keep up the good work Nic x
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.😊
@@wildlifeathome, you’re very welcome! Whenever I see any of the mudlarks finding the pieces of printers’ type in the Thames, my days as an apprentice compositor come flooding back to me. Fortunately I am blessed to have a excellent memory which helps a lot.
The practice of throwing the pocketfuls of type into the river was something I, and most of my colleagues did not condone whatsoever, but despite our protests they still continued to do it. I now wish I had done more to prevent it happening.
Unbeknown to all the people who started a career in the printing industry at that time, it was not the ‘job for life’ we were led to believe. An industry dating from when Caxton invented the first printing press was, due to new technology, soon to be redundant. As a point of interest, a very high percentage of ‘redundant’ printers then, after doing ‘the knowledge’ tests (learning the shortest, quickest routes through London) went on to become ‘black-cab’ taxi drivers, most of them retired by now. Mm, interesting times!
That's fascinating. I never would have guessed that slackers were behind this. Thanks for the info!
Yes I remember this I think Simon told us in one of his videos
I had to stop at about 1:34 to tell you that I was so very jealous but so happy to be going with you. I'll never get to London to Mudkark but it does seem like I am part of the mudlarkers gang just by watching all of you hunt for your treasures! Thank you Si and Nicola!
Well said 😊
These nothing better on a Sunday morning that a lark with Nick and Si!
Shout-out to the MVS -- it's great to give these folks the opportunity to do what they enjoy and serve the public.
Hello Nicola - I lived through Hurricane Ian, and my house suffered a lot of damage. My car is gone as well. I just wanted to let you know how wonderful it is to watch your videos during these very stressful times. Your videos are a wonderful respite and let me forget my problems for a while. Thank you so much.
Hi Nanette, I'm so sorry to hear you suffered such damage and loss with hurricane Ian. That must be so traumatic. Sending you much love ❤️
Through UA-cam, I've met some lovely people in Florida. I couldn't imagine the damage a hurricane can bring. Also through UA-cam, I've met lovely people like Nicola, who, whether she realizes it or not, have helped many through some tough times and inspired my wildlife channel to see if I could spread some joy myself. Best wishes to you, from Derek in Oregon.
My heart goes out to you.
For those in Florida-ua-cam.com/video/iq44MlWjcyA/v-deo.html
@@astrolingus Thank you Elizabeth. This has been a wake up call on so many levels. I appreciate your comment.
John Andrews, 124 Vauxhall Walk was listed in the 1881 census as a pipe maker. My husband’s family are Andrews’s and lived very close by at that time so we are going to try and find out if there’s a family link. Exciting. Great finds!
please report back here about whst you find ? I love a mystery
@@sianwarwick633 unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be an obvious link. Andrews was such a common name in that area. Ah well.
His wife on the 1861 census was a tobacco pipe trimmer . His full name looks like it could be John Ames Andrews 1839-1886
A shout-out for Wendy and her awesome jewelry! I worked with her to make a custom pendant for my sister's birthday -- using some of Simon's Thames garnets -- and it was great to work with her (across the Atlantic) and see the whole process. Amazing results!!!
So funny, when Si told you that it was a fruit machine token ... I pictured a vending machine with fruit in it lol lol :)
So did i!! I thought it was like a nutritional program for kids. LOL
As did I. LOL
Me too! 🇨🇦
It wasn't just Jack Benny who hit the Super Jackpot, but rather it was all of us, Nicola! Thanks for another entertaining and enlightening video.
Idont know why you dont already have your own television show! youre absolutely brilliant in front of the camera and putting together videos and youre voice and narrations are so enjoyable!
Thank you Theresa that's so kind of you to say
UA-cam is the new television.
Nicola is awesome, her energy is addictive.
I'm a wildcrafter so I totally relate to her joy and drive of finding things... it's kind of like being on a constant Easter egg hunt!
@@nicolawhitemudlark Good morning or afternoon wherever you are. Enjoy your show so much Thank you. Whatever did you find out about the little white saucy lady. Did I miss an episode?
That’s why I love ❤️ Nicole ❤😂
Very nice finds! You did miss a big bullet though. I love everything you find! The coins are fun…being American, I recognized the pennies right away. Maybe you and Si can go there again. It looked like it still has a lot to be found. As usual, I thank you for the video. Take Care.
I saw the shell as well, it looked like an unfired .303 , and was surprised that you didn't pick it up. By the way, here in Australia its starting to warm up and its very enjoyable. Happy hunting !
I was looking for this comment. I assume she saw it and didn’t want it 🤷♀️🤣
You both are so brilliant mudlarking together on the Thames. These will always be my favorite episodes. ❤
I love when you two are together mudlaking🍀❤️it’s a funny Sunday morning for me. Thank you!
In 1990 I found a world map from Lambert Brothers, 88 Leadenhall Street, showing their shipping routes all over the world. My daughter had it hanging over her bed for many years and it really got her interested in geography. I’m sorry it is not the taylor from number 38 but a little bit of history about number 88 Leadenhall Street. I always enjoy your fact finding about anything you find that has some writing on it.
What a great job the MVS are doing, great guys! Love the ship button 😀💗 x
Wow -- when I was in London in 1976/77 -- it was still a rather "antique" city -- many old buildings/warehouses along the Thames -- still some bombed-out areas from the blitz awaiting reconstruction. It's quite a neat mix now of new and old -- very cosmopolitan -- the perfect place for Nicola and Simon, having a day out on the foreshore!!!
At 05:37 where you found the button there also appeared to be a coin of some sort. As for Jack Benny, if you don't know, his whole theme was that he was super cheap!
I saw that, but I tend to assume it wasn't anything worth grabbing. In the midst of all the crap, one can only assume things get overlooked quite often.
What a great day that was! Another trip soon!
Me again! I've also found a John Andrews, pipe maker born 1840 and his son John Andrews also a pipe maker born 1862 in the 1881 census living at 124 Vauxhall Walk.
Toujours un véritable moment de détente🔬🎬🍀🙏🌹Alex France🍷🍾
My hats off to the MVS, even us across the pond owe them a thanks for their services.
I enjoyed that little adventure. Thank you for inviting us along.
My Grandma lived in Southend-on-Sea she used to save all her copper for when we went to visit and me and my brother used to feed it all into the slot machines, taught me a valuable lesson at a young age that gambling never pays! Great content as always London looks great from the Thames!
Always nice to see what you are up to out on the Thames and an added bonus to have Si along for comedy relief 😂 just kidding 😊 thank you for all your hard work on providing us a Sunday entertainment 🙏
I love the cooler days in Autumn and the beautiful colors of the leaves in New York. 🍁🍂
Another Sunday morning with my favourite mudlarks Nic and Si!
Thanks for highlighting the maritime volunteers. In coastal South Carolina USA we have the Coast Guard Auxillary. I know a few of the people involved and they're just like your boat guys... all wonderful people!
What an amazing mudlark! It definitely pays to find new areas to search for treasures. Can’t wait to see what Simon found! And bonus! You had someone take you to a new place! Wow. Your so lucky to have someone of like mind to go adventure with you. I’m envious. Stay safe, take care Nicola!! On to more treasures! ❤️❤️❤️
Now Nicola, Allen & Hembury's they were British Pharmaceutical manufacture founded in 1715 and was bought out by Glaxo Labs in 1958. A very interesting episode and thank you for sharing. Norfolk xx
It does look as if they have printed part their advertising motto on the ceramic pot, but it would still be interesting to know what Allen and andxHanbury made. Even how they made it
Darling I get so excited about what you will find and the history behind them. I wish you all the Love and blessings.Thank you for always sharing.🌹🦋🌹
"At home" sound so much better than it has been! Thanks!
Woo-hoo, more mudlarking. Thank you. Nicola.
Thanks, Nicola. I’m in Texas, USA. It’s April 6, 2024. Love your videos.
Thanks!
Thx Dustin! Xx
Those two wonderful men that excorted you to your site are so sweet! I'm so jelly of your mudlarking places! Wish I could make a trip too the old country but I fear I never will😔you and si had some great finds! Ty for the videos
Hi Nicola, Not sure if this is valid, but I found this on flickr posted by Alan Denney, for the button @30:44 "James Jackson was a "merchant taylor" at 38 Leadenhall Street in the City of London from the 1830s until he died in 1871." Thank you for sharing, great finds! Take really good care, stay well! Kathy x
Brilliant thank you
Hello Nicole, thank you for the lark and the history lessons. That's another reason I enjoy larking, all the information you get from just one little treasure. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.
Seeing you all having so much fun is a great Sunday morning watch while I have my breakfast.
Hahaha you gave Si a running start, and still cleaned him up.
:)
Yes I enjoy your mudlarks with Simon you two seem to work so well together.hope to see more in the future 👍
What an interesting 'Mudlark' outing, thank you for sharing your day. I can see from several comments below that I was not the only person to notice the 'Live .303 Round' that you scraped over when collecting the lead type, and even touched a little later. I loved everything about this episode ...... especially the pies.
Thank you for supporting the local services!
The city is just beautiful from the water! When you're on the water you can see so much that you don't usually get to see.
Summer is still hanging on here in western Oregon. A record of 87 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday! Loved the ship button. Looks like you had a fun day. Blessings and greetings from Oregon, have a great week!
So now I know why they call it a "Peter", it is like the key to heaven! 😆
Fantastic guys of the MVS. GREAT work and what a great sense of humour they have. This video brought a big smile to my face. Thank you 🙂
So glad to catch a new episode. Really love your content. Thanks from Tennessee USA.
Here in Iowa,USA there have been a few days of frosty windshields and in the 30s in the mornings. Such good finds before the tide came in. Always interesting places to discover. Thanks for all the info you find
Hi Nicola,lovely vlog but that is not unusual. I was quite interested i n those guys with your Water Taxi service, sounds like a great organisation. You look as if you've stumbled on an aquatic branch of The Bank of England with all that cash I guess it's going to your charitable fund. As for the Leadenhall Street button I can tell you that many British shipping companies had their head offices there back in the day so Naval Tailors would fit right in. I visited the Furness withy office on several occasions. They were a huge conglomerate that controlled many different Shipping lines that literally covered the globe including my old Company "Manchester Liners who were at the forefront of the Container revolution in the sixties and the reason I emigrated to Canada in 1967.
Thanks Nicola it was a pure pleasure. BTW who else would have trowels for ear rings....a huge smile of appreciation XXX
Loved the temperance medallion. I remember my great aunt reminiscing about “signing the pledge” when she was a teenager in order to attend the temperance soirées which were a great favourite.
I love it when the two of you lark together, lol❤😂
Another fun lark with you and Si...thanks for 'dredging' this one up from the archives. Simon did find a bit of info on that pipe maker in his video...just watched his from this lark and saw it...
Thank you!
Lots of love from Baja California, México! Always love to see you!!!
Another very interesting video Nicola and thank you for the information on your jewelry. I have been admiring it from afar and often wondered who the designer was. I will have to look her up. Also, I enjoyed seeing the excerpts from The Jack Benny Show. He was a very much loved and popular comedian in that era and I loved watching him. What a joyous blast from the past! Sending you big hugs and much love from the USA!
Entertaining, as usual Nicola. Bit of a stretch from Melb. Vic. Aust. My Dad and I often 'Beachcombed' at Port Noarlunga, and Glenelg in South Australia, I still tend to look down when walking on or near beaches. Not the range of things you get. More Luck-In-The-Muck to you.
Nice finds again. My wife loves a warm water bottle, but uses a tube of dish cloth, filled with barley instead, and then put in the microwave for about 2-3 min. Super good against neck pain i can tell 👍👍
What a nice couple of guys to take you in and out and really great people! That was a really fun day! Thanks for taking us with you! Sending lots of love and hugs and hope and peace 😘🥰💖
The Hanbury and Allen shard probably comes from a jar of Allenbury's Bynol," a mixture of malt and (cod liver) oil, although I can't find a jar where the printed information matches exactly. The shape of the jar is correct. Many of their baby formulas, pastilles, etc. came in tins. The first time I saw a cormorant in the wild was in London in 1976! I was so excited!
Well done Debra the same as my results, imagine having to take Malt and CLO.
@@Antony_Jenner Yuck!
Malt and cod liver oil is not as bad as it seems, during the fifties and sixties when I was growing up and quite a sickly child, my beloved Mother gave it to me as a tonic, and I can tell you it was quite a treat!
It seems to me that a lot of those coins wedge themselves under large rocks. See, I learned something by watching these videos. ;)
The Templars still exist in Germany, they are called Guttempler and a relative of mine is working for them. Actually the pipe stem is from 24 Vauxhall walk SE, not street, idk if that could make a difference.
Love videos that you and Si do together.
It is NOT cold where I am. I’m in the US in NE Florida in our Nation’s Oldest City! We are 457 years old here in St. Augustine Florida- though that’s nothing compared to London. Haha
What a mudlarking finds bonanza, absolutely amazing!
Finding lead type is one of my absolute favourite Thames finds, would love to explore this stretch of foreshore! xx
Im astonished at the amount of metal and masonry in the river. All the debris of industry and ordinary lives. All that history that was pushed in to wash away. After the Great Fire, after WWI, WWII, and during the reconstruction. I think if the mudlarkers banded together there are enough briicks to build a new house!
How nice your friends in the MVS were able to give you a ride to a good spot! I think they must be the British counterparts to the US Power Squadron or the US Coast Guard Auxiliary here in the States. They all provide a very valuable service to the boating public!
Hi nicola. Another great mudlarking adventure. Uk has so much history. I live in canada and hope someday to go to uk and just watch you with your finds. So exciting. Thank you for taking us along.
36-38 Leadenhall Street - a 9-storey office building designed by Yorke, Rosenberg & Mardall and built in 1970-73 for the Scandinavian Bank. It was built in a Chicago-derived flush-fronted style, with uniform floors and piers of polished yellow-brown stone, flush smoked-glass bands, and sharp mitred glass joints on the Billiter Street corner. The building that was there before was distroyed during WW2 during the bombing. Prior to that, James Jackson was a "merchant taylor" at 38 Leadenhall Street in the Cty of London from the 1830s until he died in 1871.
Amazing! Thank you
I found this, as well "Jackson John & William, wholesale slopsellers, 38 Leadenhall street" in a 1843 directory. So perhaps there's a crossover?
Great to see you and Si out mudlarking together! Love all your great finds. I remember doing Health and Temperance as a class at primary school back in the 60's! I even won a prize! The lessons didn't stick very well with me though! Lol I bought a lovely ring from Wendy with a Thames ruby on it. It's lovely! Thanks Nicola for the fun Monday morning viewing! 😘❤️
I really like that you and Simon showcased the Maritime Volunteers Service.
What a wonderful organization.
Oh!!
And those pies that you made,so perfectly shiny,they must be the best spaghetti and chocolate chip pies ever!
A Cornish classic.
😂
I am visiting from Vancouver, Canada, and was on the Thames Clipper from Woolwich to Millbank this morning. I saw someone mudlarking and got excited that it may be you. But, alas, it wasn't. I would love, love to do some Thames mudlarking (permit in hand, of course). And, from one of your previous videos, I will definitely check out the gum art on Millenium Bridge tomorrow. Nicola, what you do is so very fascinating! Si is fab too!
Hi hope you have a wonderful time Kelly!
Ben's creations on Millenium Bridge are fantastic. I got my aerobics in for the day in crouching and taking photos. Thought of you again while gazing at a pilgrim's pin, found on the Thames foreshore in 2016, at Canterbury Cathedral. Thank you Nicola for your well wishes. I enjoy London and, thru the many decades, I'm always coming back for more. XO
@@IIII2IIII @Kelly KLH Fabulous Kelly. Im so glad you found them! Some of them are so exquisite aren't they! x
I loved. All finds as usual. You never disappoint.
As a silversmith, I love your pendant obviously made specifically for you.
Hi Nicola,
Bell Fruit had a factory unit in the Lenton Beeston area of Nottingham producing Fruit (slot) Machines through the 60s & 70s hired out to public houses around Nottingham and Derby.
I don't remember the 6d tokens but I do recall 5p and 10p tokens after the UK went decimal.
Really enjoy watching your mudlarking adventures.
Martin.
Thanks Martin
That was lovely, thank you so much. The history behind some of the finds is so fascinating. 💕🇦🇺
Awesome Nicola, we have cormorants here, but they are invasive here, great Sunday morning 🌄 👍. 🇨🇦🍁🌞
The perfect way to spend a Sunday evening. Thank you.
Butterflies are in a class of their own - 4 legged wonders ! 💛
Lepidoptera 🐛🐛🐛🦋🦋🦋 magical creatures indeed 🌌
Love your shows
They are amazing but they do have 6 legs like all insects
3:13 had a .303 round sitting right in plain view. I thought you may have picked iy up to see the date and other information on it for us curious folks.
You sure raked in the money today with those 2 pound coins. Good for you. There were some nice finds that can lead to other things. Thank you for taking us along on a nice day. Hugs and love from Canada.
Hi Nicola, from Winnipeg Manitoba (15th Oct 22) here. Had a few snow flurries, weather turning cold, windy ...so heading into winter now. With regard to your button with the galleon, City of London heraldic shield. So the galleon is called a 'Cog'..these were the ships that used in 10 circa onwards in battles of Sluys (Sloyz)1340 and Winchelsea 1350. They are recognizable by their round shape and two decks one at each end called 'forecastle' and 'aft castle'. Edward III flagship was called 'Cog Thomas' another called 'Christopher' ported at Rotherhithe. The two decks were very useful in battles since English forces were able to send arrows down from the castles onto the enemy below also hurling boulders and other materials. Maybe the buttons were to commemorate either the battles or London made ships.
Another awesome video of amazing finds and some of the history of the item. Take care and thank you for sharing 🙏👍❤️
Jack Benny is SO funny. Great day on the foreshore. Thanks Nicola (&Simon)
Hi Nicola, I found a William Jackson (born 1796) and family living at 38 Leadenhall Street in the 1851 census. He was listed as a clothier. His son John Jackson (born 1829) was there still in 1861 with his family and was listed as a clothier employing 11 men. Thought that would be a good start for the button :)
Oh wow thanks Chrystal, that's absolutely them then. Thank you very much! I'll look them up
@@nicolawhitemudlark Happy to help. I'm a family tree addict so have access to lots of stuff.
Aren’t you so beautiful with your lovely blond hair.😊
What a fun outing!
Your immeasurable knowledge about your finds is so impressive. ❤
I really do love watching you two together. I follow both of you! Hello from Tasmania (Australia)
Thank the Volunteer Maritime Service for the ride.
Another good vid,! Love the pendant and nice to see si finds. Nice to see that part of the times from the bottom as when my family and i are down that part of the thames we always look over the wall to see what we can see, with your videos it brings the foreshore to life and helps people who cannot get down on the foreshore see things up close, thank you
Did you miss a whole pipe ??? Oh yes ...at 7:38 of the video on the right hand corner there is a whole PIPE . How come our pipe queen 👸 have missed it.
Lovely video 📹 With lots of information about the lovely findings. Respect for the volunteer staff and their sweet services.
When ever I see token n medallion n old coins I really get tempted.
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥
You're absolutely right..I wonder if maybe simon found it and left it there to record for his channel. Hard to believe she may have missed it.
I just played it back in slow motion (0.25 Normal). To me, it looks like a rusty stick with a stone at one end (there’s a similar stone a few inches away). Try it yourself, and see.
That was so lovely to watch. I loved seeing the Thames and the great Maritime Volunteer service. I loved the button with the ship!!!!! So nice. Thank you
What a beautiful day to go mudlarking. It’s great to see sealife in the Thames too. I just love watching your video adventures- all the stuff from years gone by. The type sett really interested me. Thanks again!
It’s spring here in NZ, I live in the sunny Bay of Plenty, so we are looking forward to summer now. Lambs are gambolling, trees are blooming and nights are shorter.. at last. It’s done nothing but rain & rain & rain for weeks…….
My twin daughters discovered the Jack Benny show when they were 12. One day I was doing the dinner dishes and I could hear the two of them laughing hysterically. I went in to find them watching Jack Benny and they were in tears. They are 34 now and still prefer all the old stuff just like me!
A wonderful video! Beautiful day, magic river, and so many delightful finds. Not to mention the pies! Many thanks to you and Si.
I live in south-central West Virginia, USA. Towards the end of September, after a sweltering mid-80s (F) Wednesday in a month that had been very humid and warm, somebody flicked a switch and we've been significantly cooler and drier since. We've had high pressure systems firmly in place which keeps the sky mostly clear and we are drenched in sunshine. The meandering and occasional big clouds bring welcome relief and they create the much-appreciated cool breezes that we have, daily. Under the sun, the trees' leaves are morphing into amazing, fantastic, brilliant colors that have me practically crashing my car on the road with their arresting, distracting displays! The shades of yellows, golds, mellow and flaming oranges. The deep, saturated hues of reds and burgundies into rich, midnight blackberry... mine eyes dazzle! Still plenty of green trees left which only heightens the shots of color mixed within the forest. If we get too warm even though only in the mid-60s(F), we step into the shade which quickly has us almost feeling cold because the air is so dry and that breeze comes along to dry any sweat. This morning, Hubby and I thought for a brief moment that it had snowed, but it was a thick frost. I am so grateful for these truly splendid days and nights. (Oh - the stars...!!! Well, this is enough from me!)
This got me wondering: do British people have favorite places for watching the leaves change for Fall?
Lovely video, I always have to stop the video and see what else there is.💕🏴💕
Nice finds we enjoyed watching 👍👍👍
This was a fun video. I'm impressed with your lovely pies. I'm sure the gentlemen greatly enjoyed them. Great video. 🌻🐕🥰🇺🇸
Another interesting video. What a fun hobby. Love your necklace. The turquoise stone is quite unusual.
Hello again from a sandlarker in Death Valley California, All that water looks so good, what fun!
6:21 - It's so funny how she dances around/avoids the live rifle round to avoid having to deal with it. :D
Just noticed it
Yeah I was like "Yup I'd move over that too."
Would be interesting to know the history.
I did wonder!
I saw that live round, too, and wondered how she missed it...
Nicola, you have a most soothing voice that adds to a delightful "liquid history" adventure.
Thank you 😊 💓
Thank you to you Nicola and Simon for another fantastic video !! Full of history and precious finds .. its all just beautiful 🥰
