An English Harvest Walk (no talking)
Take a leisurely walk through the picturesque Leicestershire countryside during harvest time. The gently rolling hills are dotted with fields, some ready for harvest, others freshly cleared by the passing combine harvesters. Along the hedgerows, wild fruits like brambles and elderberries offer a taste of the season, while sheep graze peacefully in the fields. The late summer breeze adds a touch of freshness to the air, carrying the sounds of rustling leaves and distant machinery. This video captures the quiet beauty of rural England, perfect for those who appreciate the simple pleasures of the countryside. No talking.

Places they visited in...

Former Priory Church of Holy Trinity Ingham
Просмотров 24810 месяцев назад
This incredible church founded by Sir Oliver De Ingham in about 1340. It is a massive medieval church with stone effigies and brasses in it. It was once home to a Trinitarian priory, the remains of a tiny bit of which can still be seen outside on the north side of the church. The church also has an unusual three storey porch.
We tried an egg vending machine!

Farmers are increasingly seeking ways to get a better price for their produce. Selling direct to the public rather than via the supermarkets is a great way to do this. This farm have an egg vending machine so the public can buy direct. We tried it out.
It's a hen's life

Meet Geri and Hooty, two pampered chickens leading the very best life. Getting all the treats. Strutting round the garden. Enjoying all the attention. But their life is disrupted by the arrival of two ex-battery rescue hens. Life has to adjust.

Bells Ringing at All Saints Loughborough
beautiful!!
No talking [waffling] and lots of views. Excellent. Don't forget the road signs as a clue to location. The site will soon have lots of subs.
Thank you. What a lovely comment
Thank you @Horde of Duck! Rare to see myself walking - rather than my POV hiking videos. Lovely video too. You clearly need to come on more hikes with me!
i want one of thses
So restful! Loved the lock gates opening especially. ❤
Brilliant, love these views of old England. Thank you
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not all, but most has gone from a 1st world suburban dream to a 3rd world dump.
I bet the sea was not full of sewage then.
Used to walk my dog in nonsuch park .before henry built his hunting lodge there.he demolished the existing village of cuddington to do so.
Where's the litter and the drunks?
Probably the population of UK 30 million, now more than double that and increasing, a better future, I think not.
It was all white and all decent 👌
Yea and now it's all dark and all crap!!!!
Used to live in North Cheam, My grandad worked at the sewage farm on the Sutton bypass (where Tesco’s is now & had a company house there. Moved to ridge road at the junction of beeches road afterwards. We had our wedding reception at Nonsuch manor in 1982. Moved to West Sussex 20 years ago. I miss my birthplace but am glad I’m out of it now. (Know what I mean!) Lovely photos.
1992. Not 1982 !
A lot better than it does now...
Know all the areas well. Another 100 years time and the whole of the UK will be a concrete jungle the way the population is growing.
Interesting stuff thanks
Specially selected are double yolk eggs I've since discovered!
where can i purchase this same machine? do you have a link please?
Reference all the snow in winter of first year of war, I rather like the commentary on Thames Television's World at War documentary series - "the government tried to hush it up but people couldn't help noticing."
2:12 I think I've hiked past that sign! It hasn't changed much.
Beautiful presentation here. Thank you
Love the music track!
En 38 et pas 1 drapeau nazis pas de soldats qui se balade ou qui defile la paix dans moins d’un ans début de l’horreur
👍👍
Sadly most of the cities were more beautiful than today. London Berlin Milan Frankfurt and so many more. The old beautiful architecture that made Europe amazing. Not the modern buildings. Sad these wars we let our elites and the ones that controlled them made us go to war. Most people did get along well.
Beautiful. I assume it's the summer of 1938. No Nazi flags anywhere in the small towns. Fortunately my mother and her family fled Austria between September 1937 and February 1938.
that album is priceless
More interesting for example Annemarie Schwarzenbach and Ella Maillard car trip in 1939/40. The 2 ladies left Geneva in February 1939, drove with a normal car (a small Ford convertible) to Kabul - no other traveler, no weapon. Both wrote a book on that trip, Schwarzenbach in german, Maillard in french.
great vid
Beautiful
Parts of Gaza also looked quite idyllic before their ruling party, enthusiastically cheered on by the local populace, began a campaign of the barbaric massacre of their neighbours. The resultant WW2 response causing the enemy to suffer large scale destruction and "disproportionately" heavy civilian casualties, incuding some who could perhaps be described as "innocent", was very regrettable but also a wholly inevitable consequence of their initial aggression. The same is true in Gaza. The Allied policy in WW2 was to continue fighting until they received "unconditional surrender" from the enemy. The same is true in Gaza.
A place of peace 🙏🙏🙏
