No, not for inside of a shoe but maybe a pattern for making soles of shoes, there were many patterns for making shoes.my mum had loads because she designed them in Italy and then in England/ Worcester. Then you put them on the last each pair had one, different sizes, and then stitch them up. Glue them to soles, love shoes, as most women do .and hand bags.

We agree with Linda - the metal shoe bottom was a cobbler’s template. We also think the metal item was an ashtray from the back of a bus/coach seat. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the solar lights. We’d like to see the teapot of many spouts turned into a hanging pot plant holder with a trailing plant in it 👍🏻. Another entertaining and educational video xx

What a beautiful place. I love wild rivers. And sometimes, isn't it nice to go on a mudlark where chance is the name of the game instead of knowing that you'll find something like on a dump. I'm so glad Phyllis decided to share a bit of her vacation with us. I now have a new place to go on vacation, I do live only 3 hours from South Carolina and not many more from Edisto Beach. I am now caught up on your larks. I'll pop over to Kofi and watch the lives when I have a moment. The floors are going in today, so I have to just wit around today while they are working. That makes today a good day for catching up.

Finally here after a busy day and I think, just in time before the live 🙌 would love to see the outtakes of that Rugby ball landing over the fence 😂 On a more serious note, loved the mining story, I could listen to miners stories all day, straight from the horses mouth. Unfortunately, time is running out to hear them all. But when a story is told. It carries on for the next generation. Just like the story you heard when you was a boy from one of your other videos. Anyhow, before this turns into a book. The pot on its plimth looked amazing, knew it would. Well done 👍 by the way. Our next video, next Friday I think is the one where we give you guys a mention along with a link in the description. Least we can do for the amount of times you’ve mentioned us. Will never forget when we first started posting videos how you gave us a lovely mention like you did. Not many take the time to plug new Larkers the way you do. Anyhow I’m rambling again. I thought it was an old camera too, but yes. See it now. Vanity case 👍 looking forward to the live, will it be filmed from the garage to fix that car up? 😂 How did Caroline know which way the Z went up! 😮she’s a real pro, Take the Brick!! 😂 nice job cleaning that bottle in the wilds, mine don’t get that clean from home cleaning haha

The Bells of Rhymney indeed. excellent history lesson , Phil. (i used to post as hunter peale, by the way.) i think your teapot is wonderful; i think spouts would make great legs as well! the scissors remind me, i live in Tijeras, New Mexico, tijeras means scissors in Spanish, which is spoken widely here. a local mountain pass is called Tijeras Canyon. the local county dump is near the canyon, and it is very well organized as regards what goes where. all winter long manure, mainly horse, accumulates in the Great Poop Pile, and come spring gardeners help themselves to good old horse crap fertilizer...i digress; i have found no less than 3 pairs of scissors in the 'scissors' canyon poo poo pile !

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

I love the work of Idris Davies, known as the Rhymney Poet, who wrote The Bells of Rhymney which Pete Seeger later turned into a powerful folk/protest song. One of his poems which I often use when I take a funeral service for an ex miner is called 'Work' and the last verse says, "Though blighted be the valleys Where man meets man with pain, The things by boyhood cherished Stand firm, and shall remain. Glad you liked the teapot, I think it looks good with the spouts as legs too 🙂😎🐼

@@LetsgowithTheJohnsons thanks for that. i love your videos, by the way, forgot to tell you that. i have memory issues, and i can't recall whether i have told you that New Mexico history is largely about mining; downtown albuquerque has streets named coal, lead, silver, copper, gold etc, and between albuquerque and Santa Fe is an odd little town, an enclave of artists called Madrid, (accent on the 'a') which sits on top of an old coal mine. some of the mean little shacks in which the miners lived are still standing; a friend of mine rented one once and she said in winter only 2 feet from the woodstove was warm, the rest of the tiny uninsulated one room shack was freezing. what a miserable existence. several of the little shacks remain. there is a mining museum in Madrid, and in front of it sits the railroad locomotive which served the mine, silent in the very spot where she was retired, firebox now cold. for all of its colorful artists, Madrid still has a flavor of bleakness and the poverty of the miners who lived and toiled there.

@@harridan. It's incredible how the history of the mines is so similar in so many different parts of the world... Thanks for sharing about the New Mexico mining history 🙂😎🐼

Happy Canada Day to everyone! :D We've been a confederation for 155 years. Just a baby, in terms of where you are, Phil and Caroline. :) Having your video to watch today was one of the highlights of my day. I love the completed tea pot. I can't decided which way I like it better, though. LOL I caught that sleight-of-hand with the editing of the rugby ball kick. ;) That's okay. Someone has to be a smarty pants, eh? rofl See you tomorrow on the live show. TTFN :)

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

A very happy Canada Day to you Noralee, the confederation has come a long way in 155 years! Great to hear that our video was a highlight of your celebration and that you liked the Teapot Art, and you're not alone when it comes to knowing which way up, looks best 🤔 😄 Caroline's passion for editing can make a lot of work for me on times, like on this occasion when standing in the middle of the river and kicking the ball over the high fence in 1 attempt wasn't enough for the 'Director' I then had to find the ball when we eventually got up on the pitch and throw it into shot to create the finished piece. The funny thing is I kicked it over in 1 take, but it took 2 attempts to throw it in front of the camera 😄😂 See you on the Live Show 🙂😎🐼

[@noraleestone2859]

@@LetsgowithTheJohnsons Oh dear - I apologise for laughing. ;) Soon Caroline will be asking for a personalised director's chair and a megaphone through which to yell, "Action!" ROFL I just finished watching the live show, and heard you mention the debacle. LOL

You have Japanese knotweed and we have Japanese Joro spiders. I think I’d rather have the knotweed.

Hi Johnsons. I’m sorry to say I don’t like viewing on kofi so I will have to miss your live show Saturday . Hope you have a great weekend.

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

We're so sorry to hear that Dorothy. We understood that the link on Ko-Fi would play the show just like KZbin. Here's a link if you want to watch last weeks show. Hope you've had a good week. 🙂😎🐼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l17QeXaQlL9si6c

Turn the spouted pot upside down, add some ears and eyes, and you will have four lovely elephants

Do they not try to get rid of the knot weed?

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

To be honest Laura, where the Knotweed takes hold, they can't seem to beat it... The owner of the dump near us is trying to get rid of it and it's been a mammoth task 🙂😎🐼

[@59tante]

There is something called Roundup...it can be injected it the plant so it doesn't pollute the water

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

@@59tante I think that's what they're using in our youngest's garden, but I think the local authority are overwhelmed by the problem on the rivers. 🙂😎🐼

[@edtuckerartist]

Only takes one tiny piece to get loose, drift downstream and start a new colony of knotweed. "introduced to Britain as an ornamental garden plant"
