I attend a recovery group (recovery from anything -- substances, people, emotional issues) -- and we have used the story of Kintsugi to show that people who once were whole, and have been broken -- can be patched back together, and we can even be proud of the scars and repairs, and be stronger for going through it all. Great to see you recovering these great artifacts -- and not hiding the repairs in some cases, but showing the care you have for restoring broken things....

Hello Gail and Alex. We had such a wonderful time on our mudlarking adventure with you lovely ladies. I had had a rough, long night at work, and this video was just what I needed to relax. Gail, how lucky were you to come across all the broken pieces of that plate, and Alex, you did an amazing job on the kintsugi repair with the gold leaf. The plate is my vote for the windowsill of wonders this week, along with the chatelaine's tool, I'm so glad you're not melting it down. Thanks as always for your wonderfully upbeat personalities and the informative stories behind some of your finds. I never knew about breast pumps being around since, well, almost forever. Truly a wonderful haul this week. Greetings and good wishes to you both from your friend in North Carolina. Take care until next time. The swans in the background are so pretty and peaceful.

It’s the chatelaine pieces for me, so much history surrounds them. They make such practical sense especially for crafters. I can think of lots of useful bits and pieces to carry with me, the bonus being never having to say “now where did I put that down?” Your lovely plate restoration was a very close second.

Alex you have one of the most amazing and beautiful eye for cinematography I have ever seen. That is what first drew me to continue watching your channel from the first time I saw one of your videos. I had never seen any mudlarking videos before yours and thanks to your creative and exquisite skills with a camera I am now not only addicted but enthralled by it. I have always dreamed of living the life you and your wonderful mother seem to live. In an old house in the country living simply and peacefully with your animals. I've never been out of the US and have always wished to go to the UK. I still hope to go one day and you both have reinvigorated my dream of one day being able to go. I recently found out I have distant relatives still living in Scotland and Ireland. So again thank you for all you do to keep everyone entertained. ❤️
