‘Wishes, resolutions, declarations of love’ in a bottle
An English artist has collected over 100 messages in bottles from UK shorelines over the past five years.
5 live spoke to Nicola White, who started collecting them after her dog found one washed up while they were out for a walk.
Since then, she has been trying to contact whoever sent the messages.
She managed to get in touch with a boy called Jack who had written a message in a bottle expressing a wish to be ‘a ‘Dino Thunder’ Power Ranger”.
Nicola sent Jack the Power Rangers costume he had wished for.
She told us: “I have found people’s wishes, even New Year’s resolutions, declarations of love.”
"Throwing a wish in the river as a child and getting it is quite magical," she added.
