Hi Caroline And Phil, I Can’t Believe I forgot to send my Comment. Anyway Even Though The Tractors Are Messing Things Up You Still seem to find A lot of Awesome Treasures,Keep Up The Good work Great Video . Looking Forward To Next Weeks Fun Adventure Have A Great Week 🌻🐼😊👍

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Thanks Wendy... At the moment it seems that the tractors are burying one area, but uncovering another as they go, so we are having some great finds. This weeks video will be different, as it's the first video from our French holiday, but while there are no dumps to hunt on or rivers worth larking in over there, we did go bargain hunting, and there's a lot of history to be found there too. Take care and thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

Wow ! what an exceptional lark , so many great finds, Congratulations . look forward to see them clean as a whistle and ready for creations . History was good too . Just love the excitement of seeing and hearing the excitement with you both . Have a Blessed weekend .

I’m so glad that you have a back up for your wellies. 🥰 OH!!!!!!!! I have news of the gloves! They were finally returned to me! 😲I couldn’t believe it when I got the package…. Now I just have to get brave enough to try and send them again. LoL 😂

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Gosh !! Margie they went an awfully long way just to end up back at your home 😄 They do say that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, so lets hope they don't go via Brazil if you do try again 😂 But we're so happy that they were returned 🙂😎🐼

Hello you two! Hope you’re having a good day today. It’s Saturday at noon in Wisconsin right now; overcast and slightly warm. Time for us to start our gardens! 🌷🌷🌷Take care and thx for the entertainment. 🥰👋😘

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Hello Kellie, on Saturday we were having a great time relaxing on the decking outside our holiday accommodation in Sunny France... But now that I've got to answering the comments, we're back in wet Wales, but have just edited the first of our French Specials, which will be out tomorrow night. No mudlarks or dump finds in France, but we hope the bargain hunting and history will be entertaining. Happy gardening and thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

[@wildlifeathome]

This was another fun trip to the shed. Hiding treasures for someone to find would be quite fun, seeing your excitement showing them to us was priceless. What luck to find two heads like those on the same day, I think "find of the day" would be a difficult decision for me, is the bear one perhaps a panda bear head? That would cinch it for me.🤗🥰

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

So glad you enjoyed the trip to the shed... I was so surprised by Mary and John's gifts from the dump, and it's a bonus to hear how much you enjoyed seeing me discover what treasures they'd left. I suppose with so much paint worn off, that could be a panda ⭐🐼⭐ Take care and as always, thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

[@tinyTears]

Great video and some lovely finds. And your history about captain Morgan’s was very interesting my son in law enjoys a drink of captain Morgan’s rum . I can bet he didn’t know the history linked it to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Thanks for the history as my mum always says you are never to old to learn something new. Thanks for sharing with us xx

This was a fabulous dump lark, and just what I needed today. ❤ Your spiritual energy transmits through the ether and has lifted me up from the worst of Life's events: the death of a longtime friend. 😭That bag of goodies from John and Mary was especially riveting. 😃 The 2 teapots were "crackers" as Phil would say. 😁 I'm glad you're having such a lovely time in France. 😍 I'll see you tomorrow at Happy Hour. Bye for now. 🤗🥰

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

We're so sorry to hear of your loss Noralee... and so humbled to think that our video was a help to you at such a sad time... Grief is the high price we pay for the joy of love and true friendship in this world of time... But the legacy of love and memories are a priceless... There's a lovely little poem which I like that says... I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun; Of the happy memories I leave when life is done. 🙂😎🐼

[@annettefournier9655]

Thank you Phil and Caroline. MOM= a hold over from before the unadulterated food act. When the baker put nasty things in bread to use less flour and make more profit . Alum, plaster, saw dust. Made people ungodly constipated. Also the Miller would cut the flour sold with these things. The more middle man the raw materials of food had, the more likely they were adulterated before rhe consumer got them to keep price down and profit up. I remember alwayscmy mom kept fig syrup, prunes or MOM in the fridge.😁

I liked the old coal jacket. Sounds like you did a bit of mining? Be nice to see a video of an old mine along with one of your stories back in the day of a coal miner. If you was that is. Or even just a story 😊

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Yes Rob, I went into the mines at 16 straight from school. I served an apprenticeship as a mechanic and worked in underground headings and coal faces after i qualified. As well as the experience of working underground, we also went through the year long strike, which was an education in its self. No mines left now, and I retired from the pits at the ripe old age of 28. 🙂😎🐼

[@LancashireLarks]

@@LetsgowithTheJohnsons would love to hear some stories of the old mines. A part of our history that has long gone, it’s hard to get a feel for those times just by looking at pictures, I think with your historical story telling skills along with your real life experience of the mines, it would make a fantastic one off video. I watch a lot of the old mines on KZbin, But not many tell the story who was actually there. Enjoy the rest of your breakaway guys 🙌

you can get corks out,hard to explain,but here goes.get a plastic bag and insert in the bottle.tilt the bottle so the cork is near the lip.now blow into the bag like a balloon.the cork should be on top of the inflated bag.keeping the air in the bag,pull it out.the cork comes out with it.you need muscles sometimes to pull the bag out.....but it works
