I LOVE the ring, enhanced the shape BEAUTIFULY

About the perfume brick... You would put perfume on the brick an put it in your unmentionablas drawer and your undies will smell bee-utiful! My mum used a bar of rose soap. I use a bar of Yardley lavender soap 😂 (from: Jacqueline in Racine, WI USA)

Hi @nicolawhitemudlark! In several latin languages (i'm no french speaker) "preservatif" is both condom (more recent use) and protector/healer. So the translation would be something like protector from heat. Btw great dig! Cheers

Good finds Si !! 👏

Not a shilling but a Florin , two shillings

B & D. Black and Decker?

When you read the old authors such as Verne and Twain and Dickens et al, you occasionally come across preventative medicine being called a preservative. In the same way they would call a shot of Rum a "Restorative".

Your owl! I love her! ❤

Si, you still sound clagged up, poor bugger. Take time to recover. Love your adveture with Tim today, Hi, Tim. Maybe name Dolly, Robyn, after the little bird im assuming was a Robin. She is very cute.

As a seamstress and doll maker with a batch of porcelain parts, that was painful to watch. But for a guy, you did okay.

the doll is quite cute.. she has a Victorian geisha look about her.. my favorite find was the blue bottle - I'm wondering if the blue stopper fit in it? my next favorite was the partial pot at 18:09ish - I thought, that'd be cute with an led tea light sitting on it. thanks for taking us along with Tim and yourself! I luv the sound of French - thanks to Nicola for the translation and explanation!! having 3 sons(I believe I've mentioned that.. =) ?) along with the pleasure of the company of the 2 oldest sons' childhood friend, many conversations usually cause some sniggering, more often than not, if I'm totally honest! some perpetrated by this older "lady". thanks and cheers!!

Very clever owl.

I hope Kit and Caboodlers has seen this!

Si, do you know cats only really meow to communicate with humans? They don’t meow to one another generally unless sharing a home together & both talk to You! An adult cat may meow at a stranger to get help if she’s got an injured or trapped kitten.

DOLLS NAME Vicky Toria? Sweet Muddi Adam’s? Milli Sent?

Anytime Si. Wow, that’s made me feel quite faint! You’re definitely prime Beefcake!! ❤

Dirty Diana Dolly.....😅 Great finds Si....condom so funny used with Nicola......you dirty dog 😂

The Fleur de lys are not the prince of Wales feathers, the tair pluyen are the prince of Wales feathers with tair pluyen translating as three feathers.

Gotta keep that.. they're worth a fair bit!

Thanks Si. (Been very, very busy!) Lovely video with trench digging Tim! Names for your little dolly - as she was found in a dump with earth, ashes and in the mire, - how about Eartha, Cinders or Mia? Nice needlework btw, do you do petit point and embroidery too? Very commendable but I used to see you more as Beefcake, rather than Teacake - ooh what a mystery you are!!!!

What a fantastic job, as always. She is great. What is her name, Dumpalina?

You so creative. 😊😊😊

The corset round label was probably on a box that had a glass window to see the garment. Today it would be plastic instead of glass. The "steels" probably refer to the rib-like stays that keep the torso held in, like the older whale bone corsets.

Sally Spanner?

Love it when you and Tim are on a dig. Such a plethora of items dug up ❤🥰😍👌

I think a better word/translation is maybe prophylactic 😂

I was thinking the original French might have said "prophylactic" (against thirst? exhaustion?), which as we know is the more clinical and older word for "condom". Great dig, marvelous finds! omgoodness, that doll! Very clever of you, and the feet/shoes are just so picture perfect. The hands really are too, but the shoes are just so charming.

Si, any victorian dumps in northamptonshire do you know?

I love that you gave that broken doll a new life, she looks very sweet. I think her name should be Millie, since her hands and feet are made of Milliput. I guess most people won’t think that’s very original or clever though lol.

There are so many hard hats floating around at sea that a species of tiny fishes live in them in their own little world.

Eno's is citric acid and bicarb soda and tartaric acid plus a citrus fruit flavour . It cleans the palate and settles the stomach after a rich meal.

Santalum spicatum is Australian sandalwood. Chinese buyers came to WA where the locals cut it for them. It hardly grows an inch un a year. There is not much left. The camels like it too.

YEAHHHHH! Another bottle dump episode! My favourite! Did you guys work out what that bright orange bottle with the glass stopper was used for??

"I think it migjt be a Roman Wall" Dr.Phill talking from Time Team? No, a three yr old kid in an Aussie kindy, his Grandad had him watching Time Team a LOT. I guess the broad Yorkshire accent wore off eventually. Oh, and it was a bit of an old brick. Not that far off.😂

That light is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Great job cleaning it up.

NICE JOB ON THE UPCYCLE!!!

I LOVE THE COBALT BLUE BOTTLE AND BOTTLE STOPPER!!!

The doll restoration was amazing Simon. 👏👏👏

Hilarious translation Nicola. 😊

I love the Bovril bottles, all the different sizes. My favourites are the earthenware or ceramic pots and miniature bottles.

You guys have way to much fun 😂😂😂 keep it up 👍🏻 You really found a lot of great things Si I am never really surprised. The doll worked out wonderfully. I am impressed by the way you put her together. Your creativity is always amazing. Have a wonderful week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

Do you guys in England dig out the old outhouses or just the dumps?

Put an air plant or a sucklent in the burnt melted bottle . Do take care . 😊

How fast do the hovercrafts go ?

Please be careful about the cigarette smoking because you may have the video deleted by some countries that object to cigarette smoking images on the video and that would be a shame for those of us who enjoy the videos so much

The cats named her Mew ♥

Love the imagination and care you put into making the doll.

That melted bottle face looks eerily like one Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.❤ USA loves you, Simon! Tim as well.❤

I think that your doll should be called Sally. While you were making her, I kept thinking about the Tim Burton movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas” Sally was the character made by Doctor Finkelstein!
