    I just want to thank you both for always posting. It truly makes my day. I came home today from work very tired, hungry and ready to be done with the day. With a heating pad on my back I opened my laptop and there YOU ARE! Thank you so very much! Cold, snowy and tired in Montana US

      Yes, I love the old episodes of the Caboodlers trip up to lark with the Northern Mudlarks. They did a great job of showing their journey and when they were saying goodbye, I was hoping it would never end. It's too bad they are so far apart because they made a great collaboration .

Your videos are the most fun, the most relaxing, the most creative and the most informative. I just adore both of your channels and wanted to express my deep gratitude to the two of you for everything you do! Thank you so, so much!

    Some really lovely finds on this day after the rain. I suppose you could say the rain helped find hidden things. Some of those little bottles are amazing and what a lot of black beads!! Heart bead is unusual too. Some good sitings there girls. Love to all of you.

    It's different in the US as Robin's here come back in the Spring. When you see the first Robin in late March or April, you always feel delighted and usually tell someone of your discovery because it brings hope for the end of snow, (dirty by then 😢) and warmer, sunny weather ❤!
    It was nice to hear of your history/ tradition in England 🇬🇧. Thank you for sharing 😀!

    Love the little bottles! The sherd story was great. When I have heard this rhyme, it always brought to mind fallen soldiers, then all the people who help lay them to rest. So many of early fables, fairy tales, and rhymes were grim and sad, as that was their every day existence, unfortunately. Thank you for sharing the tiny, beautiful, and thought-provoking items from the past!! Love your channel!!🥰🥰🥰

    Random idea I just had: You could take a squirt bottle of some kind (particularly to the muddy places like this) and just kinda squirt down the area you want to look at to remove the gunk and reveal more colors and you could just refill with water from the sea!

    What fun finds!
    And thanks for the sherd story - I had never heard that one either. Here in the northern US, the robin is the first sign of spring. It’s too cold here for them in winter. (Yes, I know that the American robin isn’t really a robin, but it’s the closest thing to one that they saw here, so it is one to us. 😉)
    As to familiarity with death, sorry if I’m repeating this. My dad was born in 1929, his folks were born in the late 1800’s and his grandparents were born in what is now Slovakia in the mid 1800’s. Even when he had lost many of his memories, he still clearly remembered when his grandfather died in 1932, when he was just 3. I don’t know whether they were following earlier traditions, but his grandfather was laid out in the living room (in his coffin) for at least one day. Dad said that he kept sneaking back into the living room when nobody was there to climb on a chair to look in, and see whether his grandfather was still dead, or if he’d woken up.
    My mom (similar timeline but with family from Scandinavia) remembered when her mom went to help a cousin who was giving birth at home. They left the kids in the kitchen, where they were told to stay and not bother anyone. She said that in the countryside, you couldn’t just call for a babysitter, so you brought your kids along. After some time, one of the women came down and put a shoebox on the kitchen counter, and told the kids to leave it alone. So of course as soon as the adult left, they pulled out a chair to look. Inside, wrapped in a lovely cloth was a tiny baby (presumably premature). A while later the same relative came down with another shoebox - stillborn twins. Mom marveled at how perfect the tiny babies were, and how they looked like they were going to wake up in a moment. She said she supposed she wasn’t scared because the adults weren’t.

    Hello from Central Florida 👋
    I had taught all my now adult children
    Don't feel bad if the groundhog spells more
    winter in February, when the robins are in mass
    on your front lawn, it's as good as spring is here.
    A story I heard of, is the robin got it's red breast
    from sitting on the shoulder of Christ and
    blood dropped upon it from the crown of thorns. ❣️
    Giving spring and Easter a connection.

    That tiny little bottle with the small hole reminds me of the insulin bottles we had for my granny. They were tiny and had a rubber seal on the top held by a rim of metal... the syringe needle went through the rubber stopper to access the insulin. When I was a child possibly about 6 yrs old . I was taught how to sterilise the glass syringe and the needles ( they were so thick) in case granny was ill when my parents were at work.... gosh that takes me back....

    I LOVE the Robins, they are so tiny and beutiful. I have had a couple in my garden for some years now and I hang up an tea-kettle this summer on the side of my gate, and guess, they did build a nest in there and had kids. It was so so so fun, I loved it. I have one more tea-kettle (they are in ceramic) in the garden too, in a tree, but they are so few so no one have nested there, yet. Thank`s for the tour in that awful weather, looked cold🥶

    I'm wondering if the greyhound clay pipe thing could be a snuff measure?? Awesome video as always. I love mudlarking after a rain storm ❤❤

    I have seen walking sticks for children, or for fun that were toys that could be won at games in fairs. They were slinder little sticks painted bright colors that had cheap heads of bull dogs, clowns and such. Could your grey hound be one of those heads?

    Wow! There are so many good finds today. You'll both have to go after rain storms in future 😂 Could that dog head be a pencil topper like Kate said? I laughed when you found the doll's hand missing the fingers because I imagined a doll's workhouse full of injured limb dolls 🤦‍♂️ I hope that little figure is roman! It does look like a "blue blobarble" Fleur 😂 that ice blue mini bottle would make a good doll pickle jar with a mini label!
