      I've been away from the computer since June 2022. It's literally like a breath of fresh air to be back with you guys. I'm ready to snuggle in for a long Canadian winter in a couple of weeks.
      So nice to have over a year's backlog of your videos in store and oh, how exciting, a new channel too! W00t!
      Love playing "Spot the Find" Alex. I am woefully out of practice. Adjusting to monocular vision while vicariously mud-larking. There's a wonderful winter ... goal.
      Best dust off the vocabulary.
      A word for goal or objective beginning with a"W" anyone?

Found some old clothes, some nice cobalt blue bottles, and some old makeup containers. Keep up the awesome work! Love from new york ❤❤❤

    He’s my favorite find this time around.
    I will be mudlarking in 3 weeks!!
    This will be my second go at it,the London tides will be less than stellar during my stay,sadly.
    Also,my offer still stands,lovely Gail.
    I would marry you!😊🥰
    I’m a hard working 52 year old man,I would make a great addition to your home.

    Gail and Alex, Do you ever find whole Cod Bottles?
    The first one I ever saw was in a junk store in San Angelo, Tx. in the late’70s.
    It was enchanting. I bought it. It still is fascinating. The label is “Newcastle Upon Tyne and District Aerated Water Limited.” On the back the double Seahorse trademark. The glass is heavy, shiny and dense. The matte marble rattles in the piggy nose. It still has its gasket in the applied lip! How did it find its way to Texas years before EBay? Congrats on finding your whole cake topper. Happy hunting.

    @carolekinsey7835 Год назад

    I think this foreshore is one of my favourite places you lark at ladie. There's always such interesting finds you seem to get when there. The little cross was very interesting. I wonder what it came off. It was certainly a pretty little thing. It straightened out really well.
    Eeek, that shaving brush history was very disturbing. I never knew they used to use badger fur for shaving brushes. My grand fathers were traditionally black/dark coloured roots and white topped fur, so i can see that was probably why. Not badger I'm presuming, but made to look like it.
    Definately a time to grow a beard. 😬
    Congratulations on being listened to by the river gods. They certainly gave you a lovely birthday gift Alex. A little belated, but hey...no complaints at finding that butler cake decoration. He was a fab find.
    I'm looking forward to seeing some of your collections. Especially the morning buttons. I love those little beauties so much. There's so many different ones. A lovely item to collect. Even though they were bought for such sad occasions. Are you displaying them at all, if so...how. They really are too pretty to be hidden in a draw.
    Though I've just remembered that pretty stamp draw you got. They would look lovely in on of those draws, with a plain coloured material of some sort, to lay them on.
    I'm also intrigued as to what your doing with all the pretty glass pieces your doing a project with. Lots to look forward to. Thank you ladies.

Cheers!!🥰😘💕👍👍🦚🦚🦚
