Had a mooch along the seafront by the castle today ( July 2024) Nice sea / river 🤔 glass but sadly no pipe pieces. I think i goofed though as i only scanned the bridge side of the boat ramp and not the top end too 😢

[@Kylehs07]

Poor Caroline! Her feet were swimming in her wellies it was so wet! At least you got treated to new ones, excited to see what pattern they are! Dolgellau town is so beautiful, its like a time capsule to the past! So many of the buildings are original victorian ones! What an amazing castle! Such a beautiful building! Very interesting history too, quite an amazing story! The bit of pottery with w wood is from a flagon! Lots of pipe stem, yayyyyy!!! Loved the video!

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Thanks Kyle, Caroline's new wellies are striped with leopard pattern at the top 👢👢 Great to hear how much you liked the architecture, as you say the town was like a time capsule... Stay safe and thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

Caroline - you could use your "new" paint brush to paint a masterpiece mural on your back yard fence or perhaps Phil could paint the she'd. Just trying to think big. 😋

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

That's big thinking Janice... and great ideas, as long as we can clean the brush 🙃 thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

Phil could use the paint brush to paint his new shed.

Live the drive and the shots of town, and music is great but we Canadians would like to know we're going! Maybe add a subtitle with the location so we know where to go the next time we are there..ha. and absolutely love the history lessons!

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

So glad you enjoy the drive and the history as well as the mudlark, that's great... Wish we could help with the problem of knowing where you are, but even we don't know the names of many of the villages we drive through, but we do try to include the names of the major locations, such as Dolgellau and Caernarvon, which were our destinations this week. Stay safe and thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

I know Dolgellau well, use to go to school not to far away in Barmouth and I lived in Harlech. Harlech Castle was my playground when I was a kid😀

What beautifully clear water. That would have me staring into the river peering at everything, hoping for something interesting. Not so clear in the estuary though.

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

You're right Sarah, the estuary was a lot dirtier than the river, but the price of the clear water was very few finds, with isn't always true, but it usually is... thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼

[@howardwest1347]

Llove the HYSTORY that you are adding to your videos. Interesting to hear about the ancient lineage. So is Wales and independent country or part of the UK?

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Wales was conquered over 800 years ago and has never regained it's independence, it is a distinct country with it's own flag, capitol city and language, but our laws are made in London. But that is changing, as in 1997 there was a referendum and 50.3% of Wales voted for the creation of a devolved National Assembly for Wales, known in Wales as The Senedd, which is the Welsh word for Parliament. However, unlike the Scottish Parliament we were not allowed to pass our own laws until 2006, when following the Government of Wales Act, the assembly gained the ability to pass primary legislation. One of the greatest signs of change has been during the pandemic, when England rules did not apply to Wales, and our leaders in The Senedd set the rules for Wales. 🙂😎🐼
