Meet Violet, an accredited expert on antiquarian books and medieval manuscripts, and an enthusiastic fully-clothed mud bath girl!

Having been owned by the same family for over 600 years, Saturation Hall has accumulated a significant library of rare and ancient documents, a collection that Lady Jasmine is keen to see properly curated and protected for future generations. Which is what first brought the lovely Violet, a fully qualified antiquarian librarian and expert on old English manuscripts, across the moors to our manor house in the hot summer of 2015. Of course no-one spends long here without learning all about the other distractions and methods of relaxation available, which explains why, once the greater part of the collection had been fully catalogued, Violet chose a particularly hot and sunny day to take a break from her work, and try a dip in the mudbanks.

Violet dressed in a pair of Marks and Spencer black faux leather dungarees, worn over a black and pink swimsuit, with black plimsolls, and she kept her glasses on too.

She walks into the mud, sinking a little further with each step, until she gets stuck, and then falls back with a splat, planting her bottom firmly in the clay. She gets herself free, and then gradually gets muddier and muddier, sitting down in the sloppy parts, crawling back up the gully on her knees and sliding back down on her bottom, eventually lying down on her back and then rolling over towards the camera, rolling the still-clean front of her dungarees into the mud, and then dragging herself along through the sloppiest bits on her font.

Her thigh-length black hair doesn't escape, initially just getting a bit muddy as she sits and slides about it the mud, but eventually she gives herself a thorough mud shampoo, ensuring every strand is coated, as well as giving herself a full mud facial, with her glasses on and covering them in mud too.

She slides down the gully several times, before eventually taking a bucket of river water up to the top of the adjacent slope and pouring it down as lubrication before taking several high-speed slides all the way down the mud slope to the edge of the river before climbing back up and doing it again. She does this while totally covered in mud from head to toe.

Technical: The video for this scene has full original sound throughout, there is no crew chatter, just the sounds of birdsong and Violet slopping about in the mud. Note that Violet's dungarees are Marks and Spencer faux leather, not real leather, but do look very convincing, and absolutely wonderful covered in mud.
