You can't beat watching a river ❤❤❤

Have you ever noticed the people who ask the most from you or keep borrowing things from you, are the people that will give you nothing.

Your new job in retirement should be improving your physical and mental state

If getting rid of material things you dont need, cutting down size of garden or amount of grass to cut, or friends that just use you, makes you feel liberated, then you made a good move.

So true, 100%

Less is bless

Nigel i too am a worrier. Found that your thoughts determine everything. If negative thoughts are spiralling out of control, next thing you know you are feeling very poorly physically and mentally. Get into a rabbit hole. Have to catch these thoughts when they start and change to a positive one. Very good thing to do but very hard.

Wonderful to hear someone with very similar thoughts and lifesyle as me. Hwyl, Taffy Nige, South Wales x

Enjoy life now because down the road things may not be the same

A friend told me a great saying the other day. When the door opens up dont let the old man in. Sometimes easier said than done though when joints are sore. Lol. As time goes on, the more i deal with people and society, the more i love my dog. Having morning coffee here looking over the forest. Thankful every day i live in the wilderness. Have a great day from northern ontario.

I've just watched the video about your dad becoming a head teacher and hating it. I've just given up 8k a year as a school leader to go back to being 'just a teacher'. I've got the love of being an educator back, not to mention basically zero stress.

"Irresponsible brain owners" perfectly put. 😅

Yes man good message. My response has been to make things from wood. Sticks and bows mostly

I think it was Picasso who said he liked being rich, because he could live like a poor man.

I love good books and i have a few on Silence and solitude...even reading them for a few minutes i almost feel a cloistered monastic environment surrounds me😊 trouble is i feel i dont want to go into the world again when that happens but its balance in all things! I love all the comments 😊

'Take me way way back on Hyndford Street where you could feel the silence at half past eleven on long summer nights'.....Van Morrison 😊

I like being outdoors during the day ,so the several different jobs have been outdoors this has been a work plan and tick an important box for me over the years

A very good story but I can't help but notice all your new clobber including some very nice specs. This just screams to me - Pot kettle black.

I can't stand noise/tv/radio, artificial lighting, traffic ... We aren't designed for that. Many have never lived where there's silence. I have. Silence has it's own sound.

Molly is adorable as usual.

Seeking silence is, to me, going back to the resonance of the Earth/Gaia to reset the tumultuousness of ones life. There is a natural frequency called Schumanns Resonance of the magnetism of earth. I feel without distraction, you can most certainly sense it out in nature. Seasonally, the birds migrate and you can sense it in their songs. I feel humanity needs to 'sing' to each other so we can get back to a primal baseline that would both help our heart and health. We realise too late as we get older that removing the distraction and busyness sees our ultimate true selves realised.

People are bombarded with adverts,,buy buy buy..keeping up with the Jones's!!! In the 60 s, 70,s even eighties we lived a lot simpler and were appreciative of what we had,,everything was easier then,,,ide rather be where this guy is walking with flask of coffee and sandwiches than going round shops.

I agree money can become less important and there is a difference between western style being poor and 3rd world poverty. On a trip through Cambodia I stayed at a backpackers the worker were paid $50.oo us a month. Now there working day wasn't 8 or 9 hours of solid work like me, more like abit of sweeping,rest,wash some plates, rest , alot of brakes but time wise 8 in the morning to 8 at night, not hard work but long hours, but skill $1.30 ish a day. Poverty

Can’t thank you enough!

İ stomble in your chanel and i resonate so much vvith your mesage ❤thank you ...slovv living peacefull living

Silence is,truly, golden and blessed are those who find it🙂 I once heard "Multi-tasking, is defined, as being able to do several things poorly".

Two cheeks of the same arse. LOL fantastic!

Just catching up! Well done Nigel & Molly💙🐶👏👏 Absolutely deserved💝 Thank you both it is very much appreciated💕

Retired early as ow no money ,live within your means,be grateful for ever day , 41years married, live simply

Thank you for posting these lovely walking videos - my shoulders drop and my breathing slows down when I watch them. Keep it going!

This past summer I found to be - well, as humid and oppressive as ever they are in our area, and they tend to make me feel a bit claustrophobic at times. My strategy has always been to distract myself as best I can, watch some youtube, read an engrossing book or something - but nothing really helped much this year, so a few times I decided to just brave it and just sat there observing my breathing and at least not resisting a present moment that, admittedly, was not what I would prefer. And somehow very strangely, I found great strength in the doing of that. Though I am still glad when my silences involve contemplating golden leaves and listening to the insects hum and the breezes blow, still much more agreeable haha.

I've recently gone on long term sick leave due to health problems. I'm now wondering how the heck I worked 12hr night shifts full time. Life has slowed down a lot and it's what I've needed.

I like walking round our local cemetery which is huge and beautifully landscaped with woodland areas. It's my place to escape not only the external noise but the internal stuff as well.

Each age brings along a generation who seek individuality and uniqueness ,and all end up looking the same ,same dress same hairdo same thoughts same tattoos ,all their individuality sacrificed on the alter of of consumerism ,manipulated by billion dollar companys to sell their mass produced goods ,their mind bending tricks to make you go this way,think this way vote this way ,WAKE UP ,STOP BEING MANIPULATED ,CONVENTIONAL GOVERNMENTS ARE CORRUPT ,,NEVER VOTE FOR MAJOR ESTABLISHED POLITICAL PARTYS WHO FAIL YOU OVER AND OVER ,SEEK FREE THINKING INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT TIEDTO PARTY DOGMA ,BUT CAN REACT FREELY AND SWIFTLY TO CIR UMSTANCE IF WE KEEP GOING DOWNTHE SAME CUL DE SAC ,WE REACH THE SAME DEAD ENDS!!

Lee marvin that great american actor said ,"Never buy anything that eats " .seems like you v,e broke the first marvin rule ,

There's a quote from some literature...(people can't agree where it came from).. "Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits." When you get rid of all the external noise, maybe in nature, you still have to deal with the internal (infernal?)dialogue. Now that's quite a challenge! 😁

Agreed sir 🙏

As I’ve got older I can’t tolerate a lot of noise , I like peace and a silent house in the morning. When reluctantly shopping the music “ in shops really irritates me , especially at Christmas. How the poor staff cope I do not know . I think I’m a bit oversensitive to noise , it overwhelms me .

The more simple we live, the more real we are, but its difficult in this era, surrounded by unreal social media and other virtual things.

What kind of shrooms are there growing on your nose sir?

Live in a log cabin in the woods with my dog. I have been retired for 12 years from my stressful career as a corrections officer. Live simply and quietly now surrounded by nature. Gave away all my excess tools, books and stuff i dont need, cut ties with people i really dont like, and downsized my garden, and grass around house to cut to less than half. Threw out clothes i havent worn in years and focus on my physical and mental health now. In retirement that must be your new job. Happy and content in this slow life. Enjoy your videos. Thankyou from the wilderness country of northern ontario.

Brilliant realistic and all true. Thankyou. Very refreshing.

Kids in there teens and twenties are not daft! A lot more switched on then I was!

Good for you! :)

We went for a lovely walk at dusk and it was so quiet, watched the sun going down, enjoyed seeing the silhouettes of the trees, the darkness just bringing a calmness upon us. Loved listening to you and seeing wee Molly 🌳

I love this guy! Peace and love!

I agree totally Nigel. When my husband is away I never have TV on and it's so relaxing. When we used to visit family the TV was always on in the background 😟

Less is more...is my mantra 😊

I just see someone say your name, Nigel. So, Nigel, there are not many quiet places now. As a south east Southerner, I think of Boxhill, but there is no peace there, as major roads go past it, and you get motor bikes zooming around. Most of the coast down here is built up, too!😢 The Seven Sisters, Cuckmere Haven, and probably the Romney Marsh, Dungeness areas are relatively peaceful. Even inland again, there are always aircraft going over head!😢 I'm having a bit of a downer as usual.😅😂😊

I think really that the natural sounds are music, real music. While a lot of,' Music', is noise.😊
