@@tomburleigh9261 I am a fan of nit only your wanderings, but of homemade sailboats. In my youth, so before you were even a gleam in your Dad's eye, I crafted one: sailing it in a regatta @ Echo Park Lake in Los Angeles. Still a fond memory.

i would be utterly delighted to see a fleet of old toy boats floating down a river, i think it’s a lovely idea.

You know I started thinking about Tee shirts for you to sell. I think an awesome design would be your shadow across a field. That would look really cool.

What a great reminder of a wonderful day we spent with you :D Manky was so excited to see himself on camera! My favourite find of yours for the day was the sign, even if it still holds a secret we can never find out. I would LOVE to see your flotilla of rescued boats sailing off into the sunset!!! Manky suggested that maybe you would like to have his face on the sail of one of the boats. He is so shy lol Thank you for the mentions. Looking forward to seeing you again this year. We love spending time with you :)

@tomburleigh9261

Manky would certainly look great on one of the sails 🙂. It was indeed a wonderful day, and I hope there's some places we can film together when next you visit. There is one I've got my eye on, an old abandoned brickworks, heavily graffitied, and the neighbouring land which was a Victorian Pleasure garden, that became almost a theme park, and then abandoned and left to nature. I think to make the most of it, you'd need to be able to walk about 4 miles comfortably, if that sounds doable and like something you'd like I'll send some more details. 🙂

I agree with the others that a floatilla of toy boats would be great. Perhaps Phil could say a word when you release them or you could recite a poem of going to sea. I love the bottle collection. There was a jar with a wonky lip next to the brown bottles that appealed to me. You could start some thyme in the clay pot to transplant to a walkway when it gets stronger. After doing that a few times the toxins, if any would be leached out and you could use it for your winter herbs. I’m really looking forward to seeing your videos more frequently. Bye for now 👋🇨🇦👋

Toy boats set free to ride the waves again do bring a soft smile. I would enjoy seeing that!

Releasing a flotilla of little boats would be a joy to watch. What a great idea.

Thank you Tom. I enjoy your commentary and your walks. Very glad you share only what you want and keep everything else private. I respect that about you. Too many people want more. Just wish I had a bottle dump to enjoy.

Oh Tom, the boat! I'm so glad you found it, poor thing high and dry all these years. Yes, I'd love to see you make your boats seaworthy again. Thank you for sharing your lovely day.

I always pick up the glass stoppers, they look good in a large jam jar on a windowsill. I know Phil Johnson likes old teapots, but they are useful as nesters for birds, up against a fence if covered with a climbing plant,or even just wedged in a hedge or maybe the vee of a tree covered in ivy, a big favourite of Robin's and Wrens. It would have been interesting if the driver of the heavy machinery would skim off the top layer for everyone looking to recover things of interest. Best wishes to you Tom, from Wales.

@tomburleigh9261

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Paul. That's an interesting concept with the teapots, I don't know how easy it is to clean them (wouldn't want to poison birds with dumpsite toxins), but might well give it a try. I'd also love to build a bird box, just for the fun of it. I agree on that, if they'd arranged it, it would have been an amazing meet up opportunity. Alas, the big heavy machinery was putting a 6ft layer of soil over the dumpsite instead. That field where this one was filmed is gone now, but the bottle diggers moved on to the next field over; never as good, but still occasionally fairly good. Best wishes to you, from West Yorkshire.🙂

I would love seeing toy boats floating down the creek. That would be fun. I hope you are well also.

Im glad you had a good day out with friends. I too prefer the rivers and prettier scenery and nature sounds. The view from your window always looks peaceful and calm. I really liked the bottle you found that looked like some sorta undersea creature. The poor little sailboat is in need of restoring and being set to water again. A flotilla of restored toy boats would be an interesting video and project.

The deep color and fine condition of those bottles is pleasing. thank you.

I like your river walks! How you have the noise of the river as you walk! The changing sound of water and the music you play! I have had hard times falling asleep at night and your sounds are always changing and makes it much more relaxing! I would like to see a video of just the river walks that play for a couple of hours!

That was a great dig sight it would be no problem for me to fill a backpack or two. Also that view out your window at the house is magnificent i've mentioned this before and seeing the seasons change is quite a treat. Here in Ca. We have been in drought for 10 to 20 yrs so its mostly brown outside yr. around. This year has been a little different it seems like all the snow and rain we have been missing is coming all at once. We are getting flash floods,landslides, snow down to 500 ft., hail, freezing storms from Canada, then warm fronts from Hawiaii. All this in just the last month or so. We are being told we are out of the drought so thats good news. Ok enough of that. Cant wait to see whats next. Thanks Tom and stay safe✌️

I hope you get the things done, at least the ones that seem important to you... but it is always worth it to slow down and see (and smell) the flowers. 🙂

Thanks for this video so soon after last week’s, Tom. A pleasant and enjoyable surprise crowned with your magical commentary.

The REGISTRAR metal find was shaped so much like a little dog when you found it that I had to go back to view it a second time. I love the idea of your found wooden boats being waxed up and released to spread more joy. They are beautiful objects and encourage many daydreams.

As always a beautiful day

In a novel I just finished writing set in 1915, I was able to accurately describe a poison bottle, thanks to your explorations and explanations... who knew? Thank you. And this video was a pleasure as always.

such wonderful finds for you....

Enjoyable as always and more so with the Johnsons too :) absolutely delighted with the boats returning to the wild idea 😁 and i think a soft cotton tee, that would match the comfort many find from listening to your excellent voice, perhaps with some of your favorite phrases, such as , "I'll take it" or the printed 🎶 intro music suggestion someone made, your shadow , or the beautiful view from your window, would all be wildly popular in my opinion 😀

Hello Tom! Just a thought, have you ever considered cutting off the bottoms of some of the most suitable and gloriously coloured bottles you find and making hanging lanterns ? Imagine the colour!
