I went to explore the old dumpsite of my hometown, Hebden Bridge. It's a place that's been recently visited by bottle diggers after a long absence. I didn't find much, but enjoyed being out and about, and by (and in) the river.

My cardigan corgi was sitting with me as I watched your video. He started barking excitedly when he saw the lovely sheep through your window. He was born on a farm & I think he misses the country life & his fluffy friends. Thanks from both of us 💕 😊

Man, those bottles are clean! The carrots are curious and hilarious. I know horses prefer carrots to apples, and I picture them falling from an equine mouth, mid-chew, to plop in the waterway.

@suefeige3531 3 жыл бұрын

Perhaps the Yorkshire rabbits like to wash their carrots before they eat them but they’re not willing to reach too deeply in the water to recover them if one gets dropped, I know the raccoons over here in Canada wash their food first. It was a pleasure to see the spring bluebells and hear blackbirds again, I did miss seeing your videos

Interesting as iv always wanted to do this. my favourite place is the Yorkshire Dales and the Moors many happy memories and i hope to go back real soon. It will be the first time on my own when i do as my husband died only 7 months ago from this evil virus. My late husband was a big Terry Prattchet fan. He had a big collection of his. Stay safe everyone love to all xx

@tomburleigh9261 3 жыл бұрын

I do tend to use my shoulder bag for the things I value more, cameras and water bottles and such... the plastic rubbish just gets dropped into the hand bag with the finds, and then sorted out at home. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed this.

@tomburleigh9261 3 жыл бұрын

Don't think it's a good enough site for either Kit & Caboodlers, or Northern Mudlarks to make the long trip... I know better sites for if they want to visit. Let's go with the Johnsons are frequent visitors, and Docking Bay 51 are fairly local. Lots of people fall like to fall asleep to my videos, it's something I didn't expect when I started, but I really like that even some insomniacs find it helps them to sleep. 🙂

A lot of Americans find that Canada geese are aggressive. I find them quite pleasant. Living in Texas, with heat most of the year; your videos are so peaceful, calming and the weather, no matter the condition, seems to be cool and fresh. I appreciate your videos and attention to detail, even if you don't find much on your adventures. It must be nice to be able to tromp around without having to worry about any number of venomous snakes one would encounter in the US.

I've watched a lot of your videos over the last month and was almost inspired to go mudlarking for myself until I realized my state in the US was really only inhabited by colonists less than 200 years ago. WAY less time than the UK. Way less populated too. It's a shame, but every time I go for a walk I keep my eyes out for trinkets now!
