As many of you are confused about my comment about it being the first day of summer - here's the reason: It is spring, but I made the remark because we filmed day after the clocks went forward in the UK on the night of the 26th of March. From that date it's known as British Summer Time (BST) until they go back again in October xx

Glad it’s not just me. I think they mean start of British Summer Time maybe? As in, the clocks have gone forward to BST from DST? The season is still spring though which is part of the confusion.

I think a machete is PERFECTLY understandable as mudlarking and fossiking equipment. Why would anyone question its validity? I would LOVE to see Alex slashing through the wild northern undergrowth with a large machete, auburn hair flying, a latter day treasure hunting Valkyrie. Gail urging her brave offspring on… I just adore watching you two ladies. I realise that you must have a quite normal relationship, ( I’m not going to over romanticize it) but onscreen your love & respect for each other shines through. On another note, I am very glad you kept the coconut. When you found it I thought “oh please keep it!” They are so common here in NZ, but NOT 100yr old ones. My lovely Scottish mother was almost knocked out cold by a coconut on Plantation Island in Fiji, on our holiday, during a cyclone, they were flying about in the high winds. We don’t mention them in her presence now……enjoy your spring weather as we head into winter! ❤🎉🎉 🥥

You find many fair sized slates. It would be interesting to do an accent wall if you collected enough. A sufficient amount to fit above a chair rail would give a vast effect for a more modest quantity of slates. Both sides could be made into stripes or checkerboard patterns to show the different uses. The slates have enthralled me ever since I started watching you. Thank you for bringing them to our attention.

The colour of that little pale blue ink was 👌 as was the star find of a full dolls head! Amazing. I'm so looking forward to seeing her restored to her former toothy grinned, little doll self. Its was so lovely to see her full head appear out of the soil. If only her arms and legs could have joined in. No such luck. A really good larking day out for you both. It was a beautiful day. You must go there again soon. Xx

Congratulations on finding Summer! What a great addition to the family! But I think she should have been called "Spring". It's not the start of summer (21st of June) but spring (21st of March) The foliage you're crawling through is just getting its blossom. That happens in spring😉 But nevertheless, Summer is beautiful!❤

One doll had angora hair. My angora goat grew 5"to 8" curls that I had been primping on for months. The curls were cut and sewn with wire and care. I am sorry to talk so much. I am just an old and lonely lady. I love both of you 👍❣

The coconut was an interesting find, and I chuckled at the little advert you did during your roundup about getting one just like it. Those wee tiny bottles were just waiting for you to come along and take them home. I can't believe the bottle diggers just left them there. I noticed a large figurine in the roundup that was very nice. You had gorgeous weather that day.

Little bottles like those you found would be awesome as cut flower vases for dwarf tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, or grape hyacinths. The cobalt tiny bottle could be repaired by heating it up in a kiln and then torch fire the outside to repair the cracks. But it has to be slowly heated in a kiln or the torch flame would shatter the bottle. So cool finding the doll head. So, Alex, are you going to donate some of your hair for the doll? You know, back in the day, they used human hair for dolls.
