 Our version of mudlarking is going to the shop at the recycling centre- much less mucky and the things we come away with are all in one piece.

Yesterday I watched the Northern Mudlarks- mother and daughter operating out of the Scottish borders- picking their way through a Victorian dump that was leaching into whatever river that was. This was in early January, the ground was frozen and items had to be chipped out of the matrix. No, I'm too old for that kind of caper. 

We were at the recycling shop earlier in the day and came away with a fine haul. 

This little lot (excluding the plant) cost us £6.50

Two big, serviceable vases, a dinky little Italian jug, some coasters (for the Meeting House) and two model buildings- one French, the other Dutch.

I researched the buildings. The French brasserie is probably imagined but the Dutch one represents an actual building on the Market Place in Delft. Both are what you might call collectibles- and if you bought them on eBay they would set you back a tidy sum.....
