Loved the up-cycled lamp. Got worried by some of the fishing, thought it might be a butterfly bomb remembered from my childhood. Oh yes the George the V coin - the year of my birth. Love the outings with you Si, now stuck indoor with Covid sheltering and Rheumatics. Next year going to treat myself to a mobility scooter!

Can’t watch you finding those shells without thinking of the Bomb Girls who worked so hard and often died for so little money and were tossed out of their jobs so men could have them after the war. Real unsung heroes! We had them here as well.

I’ve got an old map of the Thames estuary that has a place called Kynochtown. Nearby it was marked Explosive Works. It turned out that it was the village built by Kynoch to house their workers. The factory closed in 1919 and the village became Coryton when the site was taken over by Cory Brothers who were a Welsh coal exporting company.

That lamp was absolutely beautiful and a piece of art! I always enjoy your larks, but you down play your artistic side. You should be proud of the lamp, it has meaning and commemorates a very important part of British history! It doesn’t glorify war, it glorifies the strength and determination of the British people that lived through the bombing of London. Cheers Si!

Siday is my favorite day of the week. 😉 You never fail to bring us amazing finds and friends! Your upcycles are always fantastic! You come up with so many creative ideas! I can't wait for you to redo that brooch, garnets would be perfect for it! I think you should leave just 1 of the original black stones in the middle. You are such a private person, but I would love to mudlark in your house! I'm sure you have more then 1 of everything on my bucket list! You should do a give away like that in the future. What would Si have that's on your bucket list...😊 Jam pot, a garnet, a button from the Thames, a Si made pin cushion with handmade pins from the Thames- this one is to poetic to not make now...hehe. Thank you for making my Sidays amazing! Wishing you well this holiday season!

You asked for ideas on how to use bullet casings/shotgun shells. I’ve seen where people have taken the bottoms off the shells, drilled two holes on either side, and then strung them on elastic cords to make bracelets. They used new shells, but it would be even better if you made it using some shells with a bit of history. As always, the video is great and I look forward to more!
