Okay, a brain palate cleanser.

I find myself watching YouTube more than I do even streaming services.

And because I often expose myself to mental drek, I need things that help to relax me.

Hence, mudlarking videos. 1/8

So with that, my first recommendation (no particular order, btw).

Nicola White (@TideLineArt) is charming and incredibly knowledgeable. She is also a pipe whisperer because she can sniff out clay pipes like a bloodhound can track a fugitive. 2/8

Second recommendation is Simon of Si-finds (@si_finds)

Simon also sells some of his finds on Etsy (I think he still does) as well as his Mudlover merch. 3/8

Third is is mother and daughter team, the Northern Mudlarks (@NMudlarks).

Find a Frozen Charlotte and they are over the moon.

Also, Hello! (I genuinely love that part and say "Hello!" at the same time).

They also make jewelry. 4/8

Another mother and daughter team (though the son sometimes also appears) are Mudlarking with Kit & Caboodlers

No Twitter account I'm aware of, but their enthusiasm is infectious.

Also their cat is awesome doesn't give an f. 5/8

A father daughter team I was genuinely happy when the Mudpies found their mallet bottle finally. 6/8

Sixth and finally we have Scottish Mudlarking with the two most Scotish people I have ever seen and I love it! 7/8

There are others but this is a good start.

Really. In all seriousness I love watching these and always look forward to the next uploaded video. 8/8
