September is the best month of the year because of the Thames Festival Trust and the Hands on History mudlarking exhibitions. I will visit London this September again. Greetings from Germany!
A magnificent space,so many stories,some yet to be discovered,some that will never be told. I can’t make it to the festival this year,but have attended the past 2 years,and will be back next year. I will be bringing a very special goodbye message in a bottle. Neither of the 2 bottles I sent out from the past 2 years have been found,or at least,I haven’t been contacted by the finder!
Wonderful ! I bet Adrian was thrilled to share some of your fabulous finds. Hope you all have a super enjoyable time with the Totally Thames exhibition ( despite the hard work that must be involved ) Best wishes Nicola, Thank you
That interview was just perfect. Thank you. I am curious to know how long you have been mudlarking. Living in South Africa the opportunity to mess about, as you do, does not exist.
Marvelous shot of you doing your thing with the river and bridge in the background!! Also, whomever filmed this..should have had a low watt light on that man, he was in the shadows! Or, you and him should have switched seats so that he had the light one him, as he was your guest!
Adrian's birth certificate should give the place of birth; first there is an "entry number" (for the physical register book that was open at the time: they get changed when full so the period each book covers can vary) and then "Column 1" is the place of birth and "Column 7" is the residence of the "informant" which is the person (usually a parent) who registered the birth. The registration date on mine is interesting, because it was the day the Prime Minister resigned and I think my father decided to mark this auspicious occasion by registering my birth! No, I'm not going to say which Prime Minister this was, but that was pretty typical of my late father, who only actually _liked_ four politicians that I can think of: Barbara Castle, Shirley Williams, Anne Mallalieu QC/KC (we had to keep her campaign poster which had a nice photo of her young self on it) and Field Marshal Jan Smutts, the latter mainly because, as Prime Minister of South Africa, he threw the future South African Presidents Vorster and Botha in jail for attempting to help the NAZIs during WW2. Adrian will need to know what the hospital was _officially_ named at the time: a lot of hospitals changed their name during periods of reorganisation in the health service.
I think everyone would like the privilege of seeing Nicola’s studio. Thank you.

Really enjoyed this! It felt like we were letting someone into "our" room, as we've been along for the ride as you found the various objects.

I’ve been offline for awhile so I have missed a lot but I forgot how much I liked your postings. I’ll have to catch up!
You and your lovely friends are such wonderful ambassadors for the Thames, and history, too ❤

Nice to meet Adrian, he has a wonderful job, it was funny how he was born where you live, it was great you could show him all your treasures

I ❤ Nicola

Dear Nic, the latin word for Mud is LUTUM.
