    I know in theory that the Thames is a massive river, but when you show these sorts of vids, it really brings it home. It’s so cool to be able to share these outings with you all. Thanks! Especially since I’m unable to get out or do much per being my mom with Alzheimer’s primary caregiver. Your vids really help take my mind away for a refreshing bit, and my mom likes to watch them too! She especially likes Si’s accent!

      Similar situation for me. I’m caregiving for my husband who has Ataxia. These videos are so interesting and fun to watch. I had no idea how large the river is! Our Chicago river is a tiny creek compared to the Thames! Thank you for such great content!

    You guys are much more than mere mudlarkers. Environmentalists, volunteer using your own time, money and skills to help your community and city, I've seen compassion and caring about the most mundane thing such as a one eyed doll that begs to join the other Thames orphans, or the beat up metal ships lantern that filled with light once again. It is all so magical. And, it's all done with a smile.

    I love waving back at people! When I was a little girl and we visited Grandma’s farm on Sunday, after running around and climbing the apple trees, we would occasionally sit in the front yard under the big tree and wave at the rare car driving past. We loved it when they would wave back.

    I loved this episode. Wish we had someone here that could teach river boating on the North Saskatchewan River. I want badly to get out on the River but feel intimidated by it. It is a fickle river near Edmonton because the depth is subject to the mountains and the dam up River. I almost lost a pair of pants once that I had thought were far enough away from the waters edge but the water level had snuck up on them while I was busy rockhounrding😜😁. Even though the other finds were cool my favorite is the match striker. So good to see you and Nicola out hunting together again.

    Simon, we have an organization like that here in the US, its the Coast Guard Aux. and they teach water safety, help in rescues, education and social projects. If you own a boat or even a canoe, you must have their class on safety. So its nice to see our cousins across the sea. As well as some great finds. Kit and Caboodles found a lion pot and several pieces. The lion faces are applicated and are easily removed. But they are still looking for a complete one. Love the tour of the Thames.

    At 34:55, the disks with holes in the center could be check rings. They are used as spacers for electric lamp necks that sit on ceramic or glass bodies. The center pipe, which carries the wire, is usually threaded to accommodate the socket and fits through the hole.

    Unique symbols associated with each saint show up in lots (most?) older religious iconography. Many are still instantly recognizable today: X-shaped crucifix for St. Andrew, a woman holding out a veil will be St. Veronica, etc. - St. Peter's symbol is the Keys of the Kingdom (Heaven).
