I've been looking at family history for so long related to my mudlarking finds - so it's been fascinating to finally pay some attention to my own family tree. I've also been playing around with animating old photos, colourising them, and sharing these with my Mum and Son! It's worth joining just to try out the photo tools to be honest!!

I've found several mysterious finds on the River Thames - but nothing quite like this washed up suitcase full of clothes and flute music books. And, despite a twitter campaign and reporting it to the Police, the mystery was never solved. In this video there are also 2 messages in bottles which washed up on the foreshore. Im trying to trace the authors of one of them so you can help me by heading on over to twitter and retweeting my recent tweet about it.
The first half of my video is a very relaxing outing with my friend Fran who finds lots of little treasures.
Thank you for watching. Dont forget that if you want to try mudlarking you do need a permit from the Port of London Authority and you can find that information here:-

You can follow me on twitter and instagram @tidelineart.
Thank you for watching!
See you soon. Nicola

That baby cygnet preening its mother was beyond precious! And then there is your rubbish swan which is amazing!!! You have an incredible eye to be able to look at all that rubbish and create something so beautiful.

Nicole, your wildlife clips are spectacular! Thank you for including wildlife. It still amazes me that they have been able to adapt to all the trash of lead, plastic , sharp glass etc. I just love watching your videos. Thank you for making them 🦆

The young mudlarkers! So cute. It was good to see Fran. I always look forward to your videos. The music and water lapping on the shore is so peaceful. I'm enjoying the baby Swans so much. I've tried to explain your videos to my friends and they replied, "You watch some lady in England dig around in the mud for trash on the banks of a river?" Something got lost in my translation.🙄 It's 104 degrees in Texas (40 celsius) and I'm re-watching your past videos. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Nicola.... I'm sure this isn't the one you found, but several years ago I was walking over 🤔🤔🤔 Warterloo Bridge (?) Behind a woman in a big hurry who dropped the handle of her suitcase several times, which then snaped.... then as she struggled with it she managed to break a heel on her stilettos: then - in a screaming explosion of anger tears and frustration - picked up her case and tossed it in the Thames, to the slack-jawed shock of all the commuters following her. This was YEARS ago.

Thanks for all the floofy baby birds! Hi, Fran! I hope the owner sees this and gets his suitcase at al. I do love your swan!

Always love to see your finds on the Thames. That is weird to find that suitcase. The swan you made was amazing and seeing the mom and babies was adorable. Especially the one on its moms back!

aww, baby swans are so cute sitting on mama. OMG. That animation is crazy. (and a bit creepy) Wow, what a story. I agree about being able to zoom in. I miss that when using my gopro. I used to zoom in all the time with my little Sony.

I love to see children get interested in something like this. What a wonderful way to teach history. I love genealogy and it sure got me into history. When you find your interest, history comes with it. I had a friend who used to pick up bits and bobs from the ground and he called them "parking lot treasures". He would put them in bird baths in his yard or around in his landscaping, in his potted plants, etc.

There is no shortage of animals, such as the gray seal.

As you were the first, of now many, Mudlarking channels I subscribed to 2 or 3 year ago, you will always have a special place in my heart. I wouldn't even have a KZfaq channel nor have met so many wonderful people without having found your channel. I'll never be able to thank you enough, other than hoping to help spread smiles and happiness to others. I guess at 50, I've turned into one of those sentimental types who find it important to be sure that people who deserve thanks, know that they are appreciated. I may even thank people too much, nah, never enough thanks in this world. I wanted to again, let you know how thankful I am for this. Now to watch this exciting looking video!💖😊👍🤗🥰
