Mudlarking the River Thames in the Snow & AN 18TH CENTURY LOVE STORY!

What secrets lie beneath the mud and the snow of the River Thames? We've had a bit of snow recently and so this is always cause for great excitement as far as Im concerned! I do love the snow - which is probably quite funny for those of you who have snow every year! It didn't last very long though so I made the most of it. After a lark in the mud I go back to my studio and search out some of my mudlarking finds that I associate with Love (well it is Valentine's Day!). And there is a special love story which takes us on a walk up through a snowy forest to visit a castle which was built for love.

The castle we visit is called Severndroog Castle and you can find out more about it here

To mudlark on the River Thames you need a permit from the Port of London Authority and you can find the information you need here:-

If you would like to buy me a virtual cup of tea then I have a Kofi account which you can find here:-

Thank you for watching. comments and feedback welcome!

Have a super week and see you soon.

I just love that you make your finds part of your every day life, by turning them into wearable jewelry or just carrying them in your pocket. It’s not just about acquiring things for you, and that love is why we keep watching.

I couldn't agree more regarding celebrating and expressing love every single day Nicola, my wife and I shared our 40th happy wedding anniversary last December.

Only you, Nic, would find a pipe on the snow covered shore. The green of the parrots feathers against the snowy tree was lovely, as was the castle and it’s history. Happy Valentines 🌹🌹

It's a sunny, white day at minus 26 celsius in South Dakota and your lovely video was quite a Valentine treat! As usual the combination of interesting finds and stories relating history to them are fascinating but I loved the bits of sentiment included. Thank you!

[helenbailey]

You are a very fine documentary maker.Clear enough for adults and children alike.

[Paisly]

Seeing that castle in the snow was simply stunning, we don’t see anything like that here.

You are a beacon of sanity and peace in these weird times Nicola, we love your videos. All the best from the two of us on the snowy west coast of Canada.

Thank you, Nicola for your lovely walk down Lover's Lane on this Valentine's day. Please warm your toes and Heart knowing you have brought this old lady happiness.

I absolutely loved the diary entry of Queen Victoria and the story of her utter heartbreak at her precious Alberts death and for the rest of her life. Such a beautiful and heartwrenching love story. Thank you for sharing that. You are truly a hopeless, or is that hopeful (?) romantic. Another tiny little head...always my favorite finds of yours!

[margaretgantt]

You have the eyes of a hawk, I know it’s lots of practice and experience but WOW

[Whocares.........]

I didn’t realize you had wild parrots there too! Stay safe. Rox from Cali

[lesleygoo]

Thanks for another lovely video and greetings from central Texas, where we're currently in the midst of the coldest winter storm in 40 years, so your snow day adventure really resonated. I love the tiny be-fezzed gentleman and you also sent me down an internet rabbit hole re wild ring-necked parrots. I had no idea there was such a large naturalised population in the UK.

[brandyrose]

Everytime you post I feel like I'm embarking on a new adventure! 😍👍

[joeljeffery]

Thank you for the fanntastic video! It brought a peace to my heart that I cannot disscribe.

“Spot the Find” is a great game! Thanks for doing it every video.
