Mudlarking, beachcombing and exploring history in Wales - St Teilos & Ogmore

[@talbertsmom7667]

I was so heartbroken missing the premiere but I had to take my little feral kitty to the vet, she had stopped eating for a couple of days and was so lifeless, too much weight loss for my liking. She has pneumonia and had a 104 fever, so they gave her a antibiotic shot and now i have to give her pills for 7 day hahahaha that is not going to be a good time hahaha. But I am already seeing she is feeling better and that makes my heart soar. LOL Vet gave me the craziest look when I told him she was the little feral vat I adopted in October when she was gasping on the sidewalk. He said she is amazing and finds it hard seeing her as feral lol. Jeff did a grand job with the gold doubloon and it was a grand way to film the find!!! LOVED IT!!! Love seeing your drawers work out so wonderfully, the Bovril bottles fit perfectly! My Kitty is loving the waves coming to shore, she has watched the tv with great intenseness. I assume she loved being at the shore with you. Now she is asleep snoring lightly, sorry lol I guess after losing my son nearly 2 years ago and his birthday coming up on the 15th I am super sentimental and I am all caught up in the kitty lol I loved the video today and the drive was just amazing.

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

So glad to hear that kitty is on the mend, and we hope they took their medicine without too much fuss 😄 Glad they liked the waves too, even if we did send them to sleep. Never feel you need to apologise for being sentimental, if there was more love and kindness in the world, it would be a far better place for everyone. so glad you enjoyed this weeks location and your in our thoughts as the 15th approaches. Take care and God bless you too 🙂😎🐼

[@peggyreid6836]

Hello Caroline and Mr. Johnson. I love your videos and all your creations made from your finds. You are both so talented, and it is my belief that you Mr. Johnson will need an addition to your shed before long. P.S. I love your new desk and 'I found a brick' is our new way of calling someone. All we need to do is say 'I found a brick' and everyone knows to come and check out what's going on, whether its dinner or whatever. I must add that it is such a pleasure to know that Caroline is doing so well. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A. The table leg that Caroline found would make the most lovely walking cane. I would love it for use.

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Thank you so much Peggy, and I suspect you're right about the shed, as it is rather full these days 😄 It's brilliant to hear how you've started using 'I Found A Brick!' to call each other 😄 I suspect the table leg may be a bit short for a walking cane which is a shame as it's a great idea. Take care and thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

Great to know we raised a chuckle, as they do say 'laughter is a great medicine' or was that, 'it only hurts when I laugh' ? 😄 Yes, lovely hag stone and an outrageous Christmas tree, but no pipe stems this week, but I have a funny feeling that could change when we travel north 🤔 Glad you liked the history, thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

Hello you two. Caroline, the Velocette motorcycle company made a motorcycle named the the Vee Line in 1958-60. I'm not that familiar with the model and wouldn't know if the Vee Line piece you found came from one or where it would have been on the bike even, but maybe it did.

Thanks Paul, we thought it may have come off a bike, but had no idea if there had ever been a Vee Line, so your comment has answered that, which is great. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

Greetings from Florida, Caroline and Phil! Absolutely Love the driftwood 'Christmas Tree' !! But, if one were to flip it 180 degrees, one might see 'Thing', from the old US television series, "The Addams Family". Lovely day for your wanderings! Stay safe and be well!

I love the drawers, something about furniture with a past, and such a good fit as well. I really didn't realize how small your shed is, it seems perfectly cozy to me though. I am also a big fan of driftwood and the crazy cool shapes that mother nature can come up with, the small piece you are holding in the intro picture looks like a small dragon resting his head on his arm relaxing the time away. Beautiful video again, hugs from Oregon.

Could that price of knotted driftwood be what remains of a price of hedgerow, as didn't they wind the branches around each other to make a more effective fence. That's why they wound around each other .keeps the sheep in.

Thank you for this video, my 6 year old boy and I only started beach combing this year. We’ve only stayed local as we don’t know where to go. We are the Carmarthenshire end. Is there an area you could suggest we hunt for bottles etc….

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

So glad you enjoyed the video Pat, and it's great to hear that you and your 6 year old are going beach combing. We've made a video at Llanelli, ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6irlKhofduGhrM&ab_channel=Let%27sgowithTheJohnsons%21 ) but aren't very familiar with the best beaches for beach combing. However I've done a bit of research and one site did suggest Cefn Sidan as a place to beach comb, and I also found a site that mentioned that 3 ship wrecks from the 18th & 19th century were exposed on the beach during a storm in 2014. Here's a link to that site www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6169857 Hope it's helpful. 🙂😎🐼

@@LetsgowithTheJohnsons thank you so much. Yes we go to cefn sidan a lot. The wrecks are amazing to look at although the SS paul is one of the harder wrecks to get to and still not made it.

Phil, I have the same eye as you when it comes to driftwood! I think you wll have to bring along a chainsaw on your next beach excavation! P.S. I think you need to add on to your shed!

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

😄 If I take a chainsaw to the beach Linda, I'll definitely need a bigger shed 😄 thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼
