A Rainy Day River Walk, a little mudlarking adventure.

I dont mean to pressure you or anything and I have no ill feelings when you don't upload for a while, life happens to all of us! But it bums me out every time I hear you say that you hope you're making something interesting that makes us want to watch. I hope you know that for a lot of us you are our top favorite KZbinr! Most of us would be incredibly excited for your uploads even if you sat on the side of a loud motorway and read us the dictionary. I don't think we really care what you find, I mean we love watching you find everything you do, but if you don't find much we also aren't disappointed. We like you as a person and we like your voice and we like your beautifully poetic take on everything. I'm sure I speak for many many many of your followers when I say that we just love to see what you're up to! We love to see these hidden places we've never been, we love to see what you find or don't find, and I still can't believe you haven't pre-written or memorized some of the things you say so poetically. We're Tom fans!

Such a pleasure to have you back Tom, a tonic for the soul. That blue marble was a stunner, the best find. The river walk was a good choice for this video, we always enjoy these walks/larks if only because of the flora and fauna that you come across. Thank you, look forward to more and hope you get through the fatigue syndrome.

Thanks Ian and Sue. I think I'm quite lucky to have probably had ME for 22 years without really noticing; and thankfully my symptoms aren't anywhere near as bad as some people who have it. Still, it's taking a while to re-frame things in my head, and learn to avoid the crashes that have been a feature of life for so long. There's some interesting research into the condition happening now too, as a result of Long Covid and it's similarities to ME, so there may be hope for the future. 🙂

Just as the soothing guitar music starts, my mind goes to a happy place with the magical voice of Tom along with the sound of rain and flowing water. My brain anticipates the score that will be played in each change of scenes. I feel like the words of the Moody Blues song “Tuesday Afternoon” - so gently swaying through the fairyland of love, if you’ll just come with me, you’ll see the beauty of - and for me that is the beauty of walking along the riverbanks and admiring the simple beauty of a lost marble found. When Tom placed the little snail back on the rock ledge amongst the tasty greens, my heart melted. Tom’s videos are just what the weary soul craves. I so look forward to the next journey.

Wandering along thinking about nothing at all or sorting through all the great mysteries of our existence on the planet. It was always a pleasure in spring when I was younger. Now the carers in my life would be horrified if they thought I was getting rained on. Thanks again for the ramble and the peace for random thoughts and ideas.

Ah, knotweed... so far it hasn't made it that far up, but it's certainly a problem about 5 miles downstream, and there are some small patches within 2 miles so sadly it's probably only a matter of time.

I love seeing things like the river boats you guys have that we just don't have here in the US, all the canals and locks, sometimes I really want to take a pressure washer to some of that stone work but I do think most of the charm is the moss and plants that grow on it. Even more impressive is how these stone structures survive so long even with ivy and other plants eating into them. I'm definitely going to add on to this comment as I watch! Those geese look Canadian to me You only issue I've ever had with them is their poop annoying to step in, even worse if you're walking a dog. 🤢 They're ubiquitous in the Eastern US but I almost miss them here in Los Angeles.

Your voice is so calming 😌 As an avid listener of true crime now I'm curious about the serial killer story! 😅

[@tomburleigh9261]

He was the most prolific known serial killer of the 20th century, quite a fascinating case, and he escaped detection for so very long. Hopefully there is more careful scrutiny of people in positions of local authority now, but there will of course be more monsters who in time will highlight other deficiencies in societies checks and balances.

I’m not well curious about that sign now with the randomness of location and the potential stories, cool marble too 😊

[@tomburleigh9261]

Cheers Jordan, and nice to be reminded of your videos. It's good to see you've found some good gold prospecting places, I found a few specks near the Coast recently. 🙂

Such a lovely surprise to find your video. I'm just happy to hear your relaxing voice and look at the scenery. Nursing a very bad pull in my back at the moment so accompanying you on your walk is a real treat.

[@tomburleigh9261]

Aw, bad backs are dreadful. I hope it improves for you soon, with no lasting ill effects.
