Hello everyone! Just want to let you know that Scotland is not in full lockdown but England is. We made three last videos in England before lockdown and will now only be able to film in Scotland, where we live. We are not able to travel into areas on a higher alert level but still able to go to places on the same or lower level than us. So, thankfully, we still have plenty of interesting places to go! We always like to comply with local regulations and rarely go where there are people anyway. Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments! Stay safe and happy! Gail & Alex xx

I love having special words for things that no one else knows. My grandmother called her wheeled shopping cart a "wee wee" because the wheel squeaked. My other grandmother called the old lady tracks suits "chichies" because they'd go chchchch when they walked.

Northern Mudlarks is the best part of Sunday. So sorry you're going on lock down again.

I can't stop watching mud larking videos. I think it's time to dig out those old fishing waders and head to the rivers. It never occurred to me one could have so much fun digging.

Hi Ladies, I never thought I would derive so much pleasure watching people picking up glass from a beach but I do! It's so therapeutic to watch. Just hearing your voices and seeing the beautiful colours of the glass is so relaxing and OMG the end result is stunning! Gail you are a real craftswoman! Thank you x

Your videos are like a piece of sea glass ; they take all the rough edges of life off and leave something beautiful.

I'm binge watching your older videos. I have terrible insomnia and I find them very relaxing. Beautiful ornament also. Thank you!

You turn my attention from the President election and it's stresses in the United States America. You calm me with the music and the magic of the beach and your soothing voices. Gathering sea glass. You are my lovelies.Thank you.

I would struggle to leave some of those beautiful stones behind. Lovely ornament.

Gail, I think we are close in age and for you to say you're fading...NO...you are beautiful and courageous and a true Lady. I think you're amazing! You inspire us to get out there, MOVE, and take life in stride. I would love for our US History Channel to pick you two up on a weekly basis. You two get into some very interesting adventures! You two are so much fun! Thank you for keeping us entertained, I know it could not have been easy. 💛

I wanna be “well worn” and “glowing from the inside “ just like Gail!! You are both such talented visionary’s with so much beauty spilling out from inside!!! Wish you could hear all the excited gasps and squeals from me and my tiny daughter as we watch each time! Thank you so much! Blessings and health to you and yours!

Hello again!.. Sometimes your vids make me cry.. I lived by the ocean for almost 25 years, in Cape May, New Jersey, USA.. Now I live hundreds of miles away in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania... You transport me to the ocean !!..I can feel the sand and stones, smell the salt in the air.. the way the cold touches your fingers after hours of searching for treasures, as I had done. Lovingly finding pieces of the past and collecting them. Thank you so much!❣❣... Be well and stay safe!
