    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.

    What a wonderful experience. Looks like the two of you had a blast. Shout out to Duncan and Frank - what a great organization. Love all the finds especially the lead types. Nicola may have to share her pie recipes!

    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 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!

    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.

  • @amandapittar9398
    @amandapittar9398 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Should have known Nicola would know her way around a good pie and how to decorate them. They looked delicious. Picnic food is always good, especially the homemade stuff. Your finds were great. Had me sighing. I used to live a five min walk from Wandsworth Bridge. Ah, memories.

    Great finds!! What a great way to help people who are down and out. It was so nice to hear how the two gents helped that one man in rehab and how the man would’ve been at home in bed but instead, he was out on the water. That’s so great!!! While you were talking to the two gents I was noticing how fast the water was moving. Incredible!!
    Great video SI!!🌊🐬

    its so nice of frank and duncan (and the other of the mvs) to volunteer teaching their boat handling skills. i wonder how many tight spots they saved people from getting into with their expertise?

    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).
