After the storms, part One. A mudlarking adventure.

- I recorded this before the real problems of the current situation became overwelming, so although I say in it that I've filmed another part to this and that it's coming soon; I don't think that will be possible for the forseeable future. I'm sorry.
Someone very important to me is extremely vulnerable... and; she is actually quite likely to die if she gets the illness; so I've decided to self isolate with her and that means I can't film round-ups for the next video, or any of the other outings I've filmed until things change.
I hope that you and your loved ones remain safe throughout this worldwide crisis.
I hope you enjoy this video too. If you do, please give it a like, a subscribe, a comment, a share... whatever you feel comfortable with. Suggestions, comments and criticisms are all welcome.

Sun, rippling water sounds, lovely landscape and a soothing, gentle voice, balms for the frightened world. Thank you Tom, stay safe and sane!
Thank you, I hope you can stay safe and sane too in this suddenly much more mad than usual world.
I've had a few comments here suggesting that I took someone else's treasures from the picnic table.
This is not the case.
It's common practice amongst bottle diggers and mudlarks in the area to gather many finds, and not take all of them.
It's certainly fun to find many; However it's not fun to carry home, attempt to clean, and then dispose of bottles that are in terrible condition. Instead, you gather them up in the excitement of the hunt, then decide at the end which ones to take... leaving the others for anyone else who comes along to pick through. All of the bottles on that table had flaws, either rampant Glass disease, chips, cracks, or heavy rust staining. The two I took were no better in that regard. There were better bottles still on the beach.
Someone said that the person who found them all had perhaps just gone to the toilet or something and would be back for them, as they had left their bags beneath the table. The bags beneath the table were full of plastic rubbish, which I believe was somebody's admirable attempt to clean up the paddock after the flood, as were the several other piles of detritus stacked up alongside the path.
Lastly; as expected, the bottles were still there much later in the day when some other mudlarkers explored that beach (I saw them and talked to them from the other side of the river), and most of the bottles were still there a week later when I went again.
We were those other people (also mudlarking) who Tom spoke to that day and I can 100% confirm that the bottles on the table were left by someone who had collected them but chose not to take them home for reasons Tom explained. When we saw them, Tom had moved to the other side of the river to us, which requires a long walk and 2 mile drive by car (river far too dangerous to wade across) so no one had just left them whilst they went to the toilet.
I wonder why some think to look for the bad in things? Insinuating you 'stole' someone else's finds. Anyway, I enjoyed this and love your calm, cool demeanor. Very relaxing.
Yes have one leave one, want one, feel free to take it, that's just what people do they share.
Luana Meyer Yes, sadly there’s often someone out there who wants to just spoil our fun and find fault with others. I suggest they take a hard look in a mirror and ask themselves why being a know it all is so important to them. Why they presume someone might be taking what isn’t theirs etc. It seems someone is projecting the negatives in their own character onto others so he/she can feel holier than thou. Sorry to rant on, but I can’t help but be a protective mother figure to our lovely Tom. He brings so much joy to so many. 💦💧💦💧💦💧💦💧💦
@@marinawilkinson5840 So true...I feel the same way about 'our lovely Tom'!! Thank you for your response!! I so love kind people!! Stay safe, wherever you are!! 😷😊🇺🇸
Oh wow! That was such a fun mudlark. So many interesting things!!!! Thanks for taking us along :)
Thanks Caroline and Phil. Fingers crossed we can go there together again one day... I'm missing mudlarking sooooo much during this interminable lock-down.
Soft squishy mud, puts me in mind of mud pies and twig forts on a sunny afternoon in summer during my childhood. I loved the mud squishing between my toes, I got every time wading along our creek, my hair plaited in braids, wearing an old dilapidated straw hat I borrowed from my grandmother. No broken bottles in our creeks tho, just bright pebbles, fat trout, and caddisfly larva. ...sigh...Just thinking of all those fantastic possible creative projects makes me envy you your cluttered creeks. Thanks for another fun adventure Tom. Stay healthy, stay happy, and have a God blessed day!
Thanks Lesa, that's a wonderful mental picture you've drawn for me. 🙂 I hope you and your loved ones can stay safe, healthy, happy and blessed too.
Thank you! An oasis of calm in this crazy world.
Thank you, I'm glad what I do is proving valuable for such times as this. 🙂
Oh I am sooo,excited about the disc world idea!
Sadly won't be for a while, not enough space where I'm locked down to attempt it. But... the idea's not going to go away, and in the meantime I'll do some other videos; a few outing videos without the round-up, some poetry readings, maybe some short stories... maybe a few smaller, less impressive craft videos eventually. 🙂
Hay Tom Excellent mudlarking love it always your video is amazing n beautiful finds thank u have a great evening
Thank you Raima Mohommed. I hope you have a great evening too. 🙂
That stubborn sand is displaying true grit! LOL! Your wry sense of humor appeals to me, and your larks are always a treat for the eyes and the ears. Please stay safe and healthy in these trying times.
Thank you, I hope you and your loved ones manage to stay safe and healthy through this crisis too.
Hello Tom :) For some time I've thought that wind chimes, indoor or out, made of finds would be lovely.
Thanks, it's something I might attempt one day, particularly with the glass rods I've found. 🙂
Wonderful entertainment for an old fellow isolated close to San Francisco. Tom, thank you and protect your loved ones. I am a Ballroom social dancer and my world is gone for a long time. I isolate to help protect loved ones too. Marbles are special!
Thank you. It's a very tough time right now; but if I can provide some enjoyable distraction for others whose worlds are on pause like mine is, then I feel like I'm being useful. I hope you and can ballroom dance again within a few months, and that you and your loved ones get through this safe and well. 🙂
The big blue bottle is awesome..battle scars and all..and I have to say I was rather impressed with your stone skimming talents
Thank you, I enjoy skimming stones at anytime, it's a simple and calming pleasure; a little harder while holding a camera too... but still worth doing. 🙂
The sounds of the country, water trickling in the brook and new bright green leaves on the trees are just heavenly. My memories of the country in West Virginia as a child and young adult. I can smell the cool air and experience you excitement with each treasure found. Thank you. I watch your videos over and over just to experience your delight. Blessings.
Thank you. Your narration is the best ... soothing with little wry comments... perfect.
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. 🙂
Thank you for another beautiful video. I wish you and your someone health and peace. Stay safe and I know I will be back whenever you’re able to post again. Take care!
Thank you, I hope you and your loved ones can all stay safe and healthy through this crisis, and I hope I can post more often than I currently see as possible. 🙂
A great day Tom, I have enjoyed your finds today , That beach filled with beautiful glass and pottery❤️
Thanks Catherine, I'm glad you liked it. It was a very beautiful day to be out and finding things🙂
Peaceful and beautiful segment with many wonderful finds ✨
Thank you. 🙂
When I'm digging in my yard, turning over an old garden or digging a new one, if I find a marble, I take that as a blessing on the project.
That's great. I hope you find many little blessings in your projects. 🙂
I also think finding marbles are a blessing! We are starting our garden and we found one. Last summer I found 3 marbles when I was out digging for bottles. Stay safe
MoggiesTen
I find lots of quartz. I also found a half penny from 1960, a shilling from 1967 and somones old pin tin.
you and your friend are in our prayers, stay safe and healthy, enjoyed the vid. as I do all your vid's, nice finds, great arm Tom you must have gotten 7-8 skips on that last rock you skipped on the river, believing that I will be seeing more of you video's in the future, take care.
Thank you Rick, I hope you can stay safe and healthy too. I believe I'll be making more videos too, and I hope you enjoy them. 🙂
Your video was a delight. It took me to another land and time. Thank you so much. As has been said a sunny day, water rippling, and a gentle soothing voice. So peaceful and calm. Thank you again
Thank you. I'm so glad you got such a lot of enjoyment from it. 🙂
Oh Tom😲!! Much 🕉️ positive vibes, 🙏's and ☮️ to you and your friend. Please don't worry about coming up with new content. I'm good with doing "reruns" of past vlogs of yours. Your voice cadence is VERY comforting... thank you 😉😁.
🤗😼😘
Thanks so much 🙂Blessings and peace to you and your family too.
I always enjoy a lovely river stroll with you. Thank you Tom.
Thank you... I hope I can make many more river stroll videos, once this chaotic time is settling back towards some semblance of normalcy. 🙂
Hi , another relaxing and entertaining trip , I feel like I'm meandering along with you, as a great Sir Terry fan myself I would love to see your future sculpture! Just a couple more elephants and a turtle!
Thanks Karen... I did find another 2 elephant pieces, but no turtle; I think that must be waiting for me when I get out of lock-down in a few months time. Hopefully I'll be able to film a bit before then, but I probably can't start any huge ambitious craft projects till I can go home.
Your perseverance made for a lovely day of collecting. Enjoyed the day with you.
I enjoy your meandering, Tom, and found the beach covered in bits very interesting. 🙂 Such a lovely day for larking. All the Best! Peace, Love and Good Health!
Thank you Teresa, it was indeed a lovely day. 🙂 Best wishes for you and your loved ones too, I hope you get through the current situation safe and well.
A relaxing day out. Thanks for taking us along, vicariously.
Thank you, Tom, for making me forget about the worries of the day for a bit! Such a lovely sound, your wellies in the river. I SO wanted to sit on the bank in the sunshine and scrounge through the bits and pieces! Enjoy seeing what you deem worthy and sorry if I shouted once when I wanted to see a tiny little bottle, but you kept walking....lol. Prayers for you and your special person. I'll look forward to better times and new videos! Take care....
Thank you. I hope effective treatment options are found quickly, (I can't really get out filming again until then)... and I hope you and your loved ones make it though this crisis safely and healthily. 🙂
I love seeing the drive through the towns and country, thank you!
Thank you. That was the first time I've tried to do that, I think I need to get a holder for the camera, it was a little wobbly at times. 🙂
A superb video Tom as always thank-you .very much and nice to see your yester days treasures. Our grand parents throw aways see you soon ..*A&S. Wishing you Heath and happy days ahead ...!
Thanks Adrian and Simon, I'm glad you enjoyed it... and I hope that both you, and your families and friends come through this crisis safe and well. 🙂
I have been enjoying the mud larkers teaming up which I believe was your suggestion. I absolutely love those tiny bottles, the light blue, or teal colored ones are my favorite. ✌🏼👍🏼
I did invite quite a few mudlarking youtubers to visit when things were less crazy... I'm glad to see that there's now (lock-down excepting), quite a few meet-ups happening accross the UK. I hope there can be meet-ups again before long... I'm probably going to be on lock-down for many months (because my girlfriend is in the high risk category, and while there isn't effective treatment, she needs to isolate), but hopefully other mudlarkers can meet up and carry on. 🙂
Tom Burleigh I believe that the team up of the mudlarkers was done prior to self quarantine. We also have two high-risk people in the home, and a third person working in the grocery store. Anyway best wishes to your girlfriend! Be safe everyone.
Tom,
We too have to hunker down and Isolate but The Brits have survived invasion and bombings and much more, whereas we the the States have been more fortunate. I hope you and your family and friends remain well, you are playing your part with these videos.
Having said that I hope you don't mind my responding to this session.
I'm really enjoying it, clear skies and not like that blustery day with the same eroded cliffs.
I am reminded of my early years of bird watching when every one I spotted was new and exciting and frustrating because my eye wasn't trained yet.
Watching Nicola White, Simon the Northern Larkers and You was at first, very confusing as well, but I'm improving
What and why you take certain things is becoming more evident as you recap your adventures and discover your style.
You all have your own styles , but what is very obvious is your love of nature, history and the flotsam and jetsam of our existence.
Well done!
I wish I could be there as well.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Thank you Rik, that was a lovely post to read. 🙂I hope you, your family and friends can manage to stay safe and well during this crisis.
To Rik selector ..That is a wonderful and heart warming comment and very sincere too ...nice to say hello to you ...wishing you all the very best health and safety ...best wishes ..Adrian and Simon United Kingdom.
I love walking with you and your interesting way of describing the world around you and the way you pick up and save or discard but I do think you hurt that little jars feeling by saying it was only a jar. It took me out of the mood you had kindly put me in that I also need in today's world of madness and strife. You sound like a kind man with a bazaar art mind that would love "The Neighborhood" and " Far Out" also a few more lke "Bizarre" and I do love the work that you have displayed. I now must sit in front of my tiny little bottles and tiny dishes that don't match and dream of the world floating in space on the back of elephants on a turtle floating in space. I hope I haven't hurt your feelings . I'm going to also watch another one of your mudlarking videos and mellow out again. LOL Susann
I do appologize, I shouldn't be so dismissive about the humbler things I find; I do seem to be a bit spoiled by the choice I have available to me. I hope you refound your mellow mood. Tom. 🙂
It has been rough here. Self quarantined and avoiding our grown daughter who works still. She doesn't want to give us the virus if she is exposed. So we text and wave from a distance. Just hard not being able to kiss her or my grandbabies. So I ride my tricycle and enjoy the out of doors and nature. Not able to go to the beaches as they are closed. We have 3 confirmed cases just across the river from us. But we have access to the military base for groceries and beer. So not too bad. And I am a reasonable cook. So we are not starving. Your videos and those of Nicola and Simon, as well as the Kit and Caboodle, Northern Mudlarks, Olde Father Thames and The Johnsons are a life line. So for that, I Thank You!
Thank you Mary. I'm sorry things are so rough for you... we're all locked down here too; 7 confirmed cases in the county but hardly any testing, probably over a thousand cases really. I'm glad you can still get a bit of outdoors; I can too... but no river larking, and can't see my family. It's not forever, and in the meantime I can at least try to make some videos from my stack of footage (albeit without round-ups, as I'm locked down away from home and my finds)... and I'll be recording some audio things; poems and short stories and such; suggestions are welcome. 🙂
I look forward to the audio, poems and short stories! Its not too bad really, just scary. But today our grandson rode with us for 5 miles. So there's that joy!
Oh hooray! Tom gave us a wonderful video! Thanks so much! “B”of course is for Burleigh! Well, now you have some wonderful footage to create another video when you have the time. Take care of yourself, your loved ones and your special someone. I am well ensconced with my small family, we are all finding projects to complete during this time of social distancing. Sending positive thoughts and prayers! 🐘🐘🐢
Thanks Nancy 🙂 I did find two more pieces of elephant later in the day... no turtle, but I think the sign was still clear enough. It'll have to wait till I can get home, but that's a project to look forward to. I hope you and your family can keep safe and well, and that you find fun and fulfilment in your projects.🙂
The crunch of ice and the squish of mud.....my entire childhood!♥️
Sounds like a great childhood 🙂
You make me feel the breeze on my face on your walks xxx stay safe sending virtual hugs and good vibes
Thanks Sue, reciprocating the virtual hugs and good vibes; I hope you stay safe. 🙂
Hi Tom,
Enjoyed the video, some interesting finds. That pipe bowl looks an unusual size.. 👍
Eddiek 14:00. Little ceramic disc could it be from a backgammon game!?
@@cynthiaragan4806 It could well be a backgammon disc..
The pipe bowl is a bit above average size, but I've found some similar... the duel prong heals is something I definitely haven't seen before though.
Yes, the ceramic disc could indeed be a game piece; not sure if backgammon though, wouldn't the board have to be huge if the pieces were all 2 inches across?
I absolutely love your videos the nature and your finds keep up your lovely explorations. Stay healthy and safe thank you.
One of your best so far. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad you think so. 🙂
I love your videos tom. It’s your narration over them that makes them really good. The way you talk about each thing you find. 👍👍
It's always a pleasure to just walk along the river and banks with you, there is always something new to see, and your commentary is entertaining. I feel like I've been on a mini-vacation to someplace... maybe not exotic, but definitely refreshing. :-)
Thank you. I hope I can get out and about again soon to film more of them; currently looking like at least a few months. I hope you and your loved ones come through this crisis safely, healthily and happily. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Thank YOU! :-)
😮you found some wonderful things. Also a nice day. Time to enjoy the water. Your friend shirley from new Bern, north carolina u.s.a ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😅😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tom,
Thank you for another great video, I am eagerly awaiting part 2. Please stay safe. I live in Texas in Galveston County in a small town called Santa Fe, it’s south of Houston, and starting tonight at 12AM our county is on a lockdown, it’s very troublesome times but your video just lifted my spirit.
Thanks Errol, I'm on lockdown too... I'm going to try to get Part 2 out incomplete (locked down away from home, so can't film the round-up). I hope you get through this safe and well,
I think I went through your town in the 80s when my brother was at A&M. Hope you are faring well.
I really needed this. Great timing. So many beautiful finds.
Stay safe! 🙏💛
Thanks Miss Anji, I hope you're staying safe and healthy too. I'm not jealous that you've got the river right outside your home, not at all, nope... am I convincing? 🙂 I'm locked down on a hilltop as far from the rivers as I can get... and my daily government mandated walk outing can get me to the water's edge and back, but not to any decent mudlarking spots.
@@tomburleigh9261 I'm actually not at home. I'm staying in Kent with my family. Slowly suffocating. I'm missing the river terribly. So I guess we're in a similar situation. There is a small river down the road, which I'm hoping to explore over the weekend. Not sure much will come out of it though, but water is water, so a little lake is better than none. It's a surreal feeling when you can't be as free as we're used to. You stay safe too. Hopefully we can get back to the adventurous lifestyle we love, soon. 🤞🤞🤞🌻☘️🍁🌝🌧️🌈🌊🌂⛱️
Cheers thanks as always take care stay safe. Life history is all intertwined we will always connect to those came before us how will future generations be connecting our lifes a major advent break down of society as we know it who knows. Interesting relaxing adventure among so much noise fear that's presently all around us take care to ur good health.👍☘🇮🇪Godbless🙏
Thanks Paul. I hope this isn't a major break down of society that's started, but it's certainly a possibility. Hopefully there's some good that can come out of it; a UBI perhaps, more caring and sharing. Take care, and I hope you come through this crisis well and in good health. 🙂
Thanks again for another relaxing meander. I enjoy seeing the little treasures you find but I also enjoy the journey to your destination. The reason being I was born in West Yorkshire and those old stone walls and buildings are very evocative and remind me of my early childhood. I wish you and your 'special someone' the very best in these uncertain times.
Thank you, I'm glad to live in such a wonderful place, and be able to share some of it on film with people. I wish you and your loved ones the very best oo, and hope you all come through this safe and well. 🙂
This little island to me is Treasure Island. I have enjoyed your walking slowly so I could see bits and pieces that I would take and make a stunning frame for a mirror. Susann Love your music too.
I really enjoyed your video. Your footsteps crunching along. Very therapeutic. I collect mini bitter bottles and marbles so this was very enjoyable indeed.
Thank you. I hope my past and future videos are enjoyable for you too; and that the current lock-down poetry reading video series doesn't put you off, I will get back to mudlarking when I can.🙂
Mudlarking so theraputic for us and you, thanks Tom a.t.b. and will look forward to normal service being resumed as soon as poss 😉
Thank you. I'm hoping to carry on releasing a few videos in the meantime; and rather assuming that normal service is longer away than my current stock of footage... so, doing what I can in reduced circumstances. 🙂
very relaxing and wonderful the ground reminded me of Julian Schnabel plate paintings
Thank you, I hadn't heard of Julian Schnabel before, I like what I've now seen of his. 🙂
Thanks for a great ramble from Sue I New Zealand
Everything is now in doubt, I am one of those to whom Corona can be fatal. Your voice and guitar music are so soothing. Could you do more soon? Thank you in advance. 🥰
I'm in lock down too, and away from home (and my finds) as well... but I have my computer and I'm going to make some videos without round-ups of the outings I've done recently. Afraid that I probably can't make many more; 5 or so before I run out, and because my girlfriend is in the at risk category too, I might be locked up in isolation with her for many months. 🙁 I will do what I can regardless.
Thanks Tom, take care of your loved one!
Healthy wishes to you and especially your lady. Huge thumbs up for the possibility of a disc world sculpture. Please take care of you and your loved ones. Looking forward to future magical videos. Cheers!
Thank you. The disc world sculpture will have to wait till I can get home; not enough space here where I'm locked down... but I can at least design it in the meantime, and record some audio things; and maybe a few smaller craft projects. 🙂 I hope you and your family come through this safe and healthy.
I hope your downtime is fruitful! We need art to make all this chaos bearable.
I may be called back into work to start mask production for the state healthcare workers. I confess, I was looking forward to getting in touch with my introvert artist self again, but bills will still need paying and I'm really happy I can help those on the front lines of this mess. The craft room will have to collect a little more dust in the meantime.
Love it all thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome 🙂
The drive was as good as the walking. Poor trees downed by the storms and the erosion is just sad. That jar lid can be used as a stand for something. There were a lot of bottles and pieces of broken glass in different colors . A good, calming walk. Thank you, Tom. You and yours stay safe and well.
Thank you... that's the first time I've tried filming some of the drive, think I need to get a dash-cam holder for the camera though as it was a little wobbly at times. More trees have been planted since, I doubt they can stop the river anymore than the ones now gone though; I think it's going to continue cutting into the dump for a few more decades before changing course; it was known to be a winding river when the dump was built. 🙁 Oh well, I'll keep on visiting when I can, taking some of the trash and treasures. I hope you and yours can stay safe and well too.
Tom, I would crawl on my hand and knees through that pile of lovelies… Hihihi, Thank you for the walk and lark
Kneepads recommended for that... but sure, if you're ever in West Yorkshire UK after this worldwide crisis has settled down, I don't mind sharing the site with anyone. 🙂
The floods look to have compleately changed the landscape around there, the river looks much wider than it used to be, although lots of nice finds.
Take care of yourself and your nearest, let's all look forward to the times we can all go out and about as 'normal' again.
You have such a relaxing voice..... Loved the video, so interesting.
Hello Mr Tom,I very much enjoy watching your videos because it Makes me feel comfortble and have ahobby of saerching on the beaches/Thank you for my wishes for health🌷
Thank you, I'm glad you like them. Best wishes for your health too.🙂
Thank you for both the video and for keeping loved ones safe. I will look forward to more from you when the craziness subsides.
Thanks Jeff. I'll be trying to do some videos before the craziness subsides; otherwise the craziness will become almost all I think about. A little positive creativity each day keeps the anxieties at bay. 🙂
Tom, I needed this video today, the perfect way to relax 😍 It's impossible to feel stressed when listening to your voice... Instant relaxation...
Ps. My bag would have been full! I saw so many things I want!
Thanks Beth... I hope I can make a few more videos before I run out of footage and can't get out; but I'll be back out filming again eventually, and making some story/poetry reading videos in the meantime. 🙂
Love the video's and I wish more people had abit of sense when it comes to self isolation and social distancing. Hope you and everyone stays safe in these uncertain times.
Thanks Carly, I think it might be too late for my country but a 3 week lockdown goes into effect tonight... it's already spread wide, and will kill many.😥 I hope you and your family make it through safe and healthy.
Came over here on Northern Mudlark's suggestion. Very enjoyable video, and I was yelling pick up all those bottles!! But I do understand your rational after watching the whole video.
I would say how much I enjoyed this video, how excited I was to see you find the marble, milk glass jars and the beautiful bottles, but I don't want to be repetitive.. Hahaha!! Nice video Tom, and great skips on the stones.. stay well, you and yours!
Thanks Vinette N. A bit of repetetion isn't the worst thing, and nice supportive comments of any sort are valuable in the current, locked down situation. I hope you and your loved ones can stay safe and well too. 🙂
Tom...your videos are a salvation to my quarantine. Thank you. Stay safe. 🦋
Thank you. Sir. I sure enjoy your show. And keep safe.
Thank you, I will try hard to keep safe. I hope you manage it too. 🙂
As to the glass top..fill with odd bits..puddle of safe resin..legs and head sticking out? Paper weight..ring holder ...jewelry dish? The dark side of me is chuckling...glad u r back..in these troubles u r a welcome respite..blessings.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking forward to trying some of them when I can safely return home. I hope you and your loved ones make it through these troubles safe and well.
Tom Burleigh please be safe. You are precious. There will be better times..I also put “findings” on bottles...very fun
Another great video. Love the glass battery case. Keep up the great work 👍.
Thanks, I shall try to for as long as these chaotic times allow. 🙂
Tom Burleigh, your videos are a welcome break. Stay safe and thanks for the reply 👍
Wonderful video! You really had a flood go through there, but you found some really interesting things! Thank you for the video and please take care!
Thanks Janice, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the flooding was pretty immense... 10 years ago it would have been labled a once in a century flood, seems to be almost every year now. 😕 I hope I can get the 2nd part of the day up soonish, circumstances allowing.
Love these videos so much .
Such a lovely soothing voice and often a very poetic turn of phrase.
Thank you, I'm glad people are finding what I do soothing in this time of heightened anxieties. 🙂
I like the fact you don't hoard and respect the finds you take AND leave behind.😁
Thanks Janet, I know a fair number of larkers go to this spot; it's a place that keeps on giving... but I've also been there when it's been almost totally cleaned out, and I don't want to do that to other larkers. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 I wish others would think like you do.🙂
I enjoyed your video very much.Thank you.
Thank you 🙂
No no no!! Never apologize for your Shadow !!! Peter Pan and Tinkerbell are my Favorite Characters in Fantasyland !!! Stay safe and Healthy!
Thanks, I don't really mind my shadow's antics and hijinx, it was just temporarily in the way. 🙂. I hope you can stay safe and healthy too.
You could have sat right down on the island and picked through every piece and I would never have complained. Thank you so much for the walk and the talk. Enjoyed it
Perhaps one day I'll do something like that; though I do generally enjoy walking, and wading a bit much to sit down when out larking. I'm glad you liked it 🙂
Love your videos, Tom and enjoy every one of them! I'm sad that you can't mudlark for a while but completely understand and ask God's blessings for you and the ones you love particularly at this most unusual of times. Enjoy making and doing in your home time.
Thank you Margaret. I hope I can continue making videos... maybe not mudlarking ones, but audio and perhaps craft eventually. It's a challenge, but... now is the time for small bits of positive action everyday. I went foraging for Wild garlic today, kept safe, didn't touch anything that anyone else might have touched... talked with my neighbours and family members from a distance of 3+ meters, then made a pesto and a pasta meal that turned out lovely. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Going good Tom! Blessings to you and those you love.
Enjoyed. Such a calming visit in a crazy world right now. Stay safe.
Thank you. I hope you can stay safe and well too. 🙂
Wow they must have been some floods , they took so much with them , mother nature has a temper sometimes i feel ! Thank you for another interesting video , you sure do live in a beautiful part of the world . Please stay safe and in good health and let's hope this all passes quickly, love to you and yours . X
Yes, the once in a century floods do seem to be coming rather more frequently recently. These ones weren't as bad as 2015, but they did come close. The beauty of where I live is still compensation enough for the occasional flood. Love to you and yours too, I hope you come through it all safe and well. 🙂
Crazy! This bank is like a bottle shop.
Greetings from germany.
Greetings from UK. Yes, this place is very unusual... I'm lucky to have found it, and live so close by. 🙂
SOoooooo many class pieces and pottery shards; I’d have had to pick up any and all and you, Sir Thomas, just walked on by. Sigh.
Hello from Toledo, Ohio. Looking forward to new adventures.
Hello, thank you. The next part of this day's video is coming; should be up on Wednesday. 🙂
I enjoyed your video very much! New subscriber here! I'm from the USA, and collector of sea glass here! My dream is to come to your beautiful country and go combing and mudlarking too! Please stay safe from harm and germs during this pandemic! The treasures will wait for you!
Thank you, and welcome to my channel. I hope you can get a lot of enjoyment from some of my past videos... and that I can get out to make more fairly soon. I hope you and your family and friends can keep safe and well through this too. 🙂
Thank you Tom, I'm a new subscription and I've found your videos to be about the most peaceful thing on RUclips. I hope we can all get out and make the world a better place (one piece of rubbish at a time) after all this insanity.
Thank you, and welcome to my channel. I hope I can get out filming again before too long, and that you don't mind in the mean time some of the poetry readings I've been recording to stave off cabin fever while in lock-down; which I'll start uploading next week some time. 🙂
How wonderful to witness your willful shadow, your arm & hand, and your wellies squelching along. Your lark and its marble raised my 'happiness level' quite a bit. As always, your commentary is priceless....true grit was perfect. And the idea to use the glass battery as a penholder was brilliant. Such amazing colorful pieces of glass that did not make the trip home with you. That takes real discipline. So sorry to read your post about your girlfriend and your voluntary self isolation. Hope you both remain well. Stay safe.
Thanks Salish Sea Quest, I hope you and your loved ones make it through this crisis safe and well too. I'm already looking forward to the long distant day when I can get out larking again. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Looking forward to seeing you out there. In the meantime, I'm thankful for your video library of larks and will be rewatching most of them. Be safe, Tom and GF.
First video of yours I’ve seen and I was amazed by how relaxing it was :)
Thank you. I hope you can get a lot of enjoyment from my past videos; my future video production ability is questionable at the moment (on lock-down, away from home), but I'll be doing what I can. 🙂
So nice to see a new video from you! I hope you and your loved ones are doing well. You found lots of interesting items for your artwork - is fun to imagine what you might create! Stay well!
Thank you. We're keeping well so far; the virus has taken a few family members of friends though.
I'm still hoping to start making some craft videos eventually, but in lock-down away from my finds for the forseeable future, they might have to be with materials unrelated to my mudlarking... furstratingly, my brand new forge arrived at home the day after lock-down.
Tom Burleigh I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your family loved ones. What an incredible time we are all living thru. Please take care.
Your Vinicius is so soothing. Thank you
Everyone of your videos is my favorite until I see another. If anyone else feels sad to see so many remains from dumps strewn along rivers, they don’t mention it. All the best to you and yours to stay safe and well.
Thanks Polly. I'm a bit sad to see so many remains from the dump, particularly the lead which comes out, ( and often in too large a volume for me to remove); but I know this site is exceptional... most other dump sites aren't quite so stupidly placed. All the best to you and your loved ones too, I hope you all stay safe and healthy.
Absolute heaven for us crafters. Natures craft shop always has the best stock.
So true; every time I go out exploring I find something that's inspiring or possible to use in a craft project. 🙂
Love to watch all the different things,I've never been mud larking, but my favorite is the colored glass and bottles,I used to to stain glass panels....I miss it sometimes...
Your video just appeared on my feed. Good god I’m in a movie narration. Brilliant! Subscribed!
Thank you, and welcome to my channel. I'll take a look at some of your videos later today; it looks likely I'll enjoy them. 🙂
A soldering iron, some lead and all of those glass finds would make a great window panel to frame and hang in a window. Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks, I have a friend who does stained glass projects, I'm hoping he can give me a lesson one day. 🙂
Great video Tom 👍🙂
Lovely going for mudlarking walks with you in the rivers around your area.
It's such a shame about the coronoviris and that you are stuck indoors; as are we here in Australia but with restrictions.
I hope this virus gets cured and goes away completely but they are talking months rather than weeks😕
Anyway really enjoyed your video, thanks again for sharing 😊
Thanks Deb. Part two is currently uploading, and should go live maybe Thursday evening... (computer problems and very slow upload speeds here).
It's certainly a shame what's happening, but I'm OK with being stuck indoors if it helps... I can still go out for walks in the woods, just not filming in the rivers; and I can concentrate on other projects, like writing some books and recording some audio things. I'll be back to it eventually; I love mudlarking... but I plan on doing what I can to keep putting out some video content in the meantime. 🙂 I hope you're coping well, and that you can stay safe through this.
there are more interesting things on that one stretch of beach than in my entire
hunting area along my local brook....! I need to travel further afield and find some
where with far more industrial past it would seem.
Tom take care of yourself and your lady. I will miss your vids but will look forward to the future when all is well and you're back showing me more of the beautiful UK. Thank you so much for all the lovely things you've shown me.
Thank you, I will try my best to be safe for me and others. I'm hoping I can make at least a few more videos, albeit without round-up, because my finds are at home and I'm locked down in isolation elsewhere. I do have my computer, and footage from a few recent outings though. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 if you make it I will watch.
Stay safe and hope you and your special someone stay well. I too have self isolated with a special someone.
Thank you, I hope you and your special someone make it through it all safe and well. 🙂
Your videos are always calming and interesting, tfs
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them. 🙂
Having a high anxiety day and your video helped me relax tremendously. Thank you Tom! Hope all is well.
Thank you, I'm glad that I could help a little, and I hope you can have many no anxiety days in the future. 🙂
Some nice finds! I had no idea they used to make glass batteries! It will make an awesome pen holder! I look forward to your next video! 👍🇦🇺
Thank you. 🙂 Glass batteries were quite common before houses were wired up, used to power early radios.
I have enjoyed your forays for a bit now. Your camera work and production as well as voice over is superb. Love the music too. From the U.S.
I would love to see you take the bottles that are broken that can be cut down. Nicola's friend likes to cut them down. Also some of the large partial clay pots can be used as frog shelters for frogs in a hot garden.
Like so many things, it's a thing I've planned on doing since the beggining, and haven't quite gotten around to. I did at least find my tile cutter a few weeks ago; what I didn't quite find was work space to set it up. But... that's a lovely idea for the partial clay pots, thank you... there are many frogs in the area I live in. 🙂
