It was a beauty, ancient and dying slowly, but very sad to have been finally destroyed by human hands, be it accidental or deliberate, we'll never know. But there are other old trees there still and the place is still very special.

@@mywildwelshgarden-es3fr Hi and welcome! Thanks so much for subscribing, I hope you'll enjoy it. 😊

@PaulHOWE-e5l thanks Paul. You're definitely right that richness should be about ones quality of life, how loved ones and friends are priceless, how true happiness and fulfilment cannot be bought etc. I think of my grandparents as having been poor in money, but rich in life, love and laughter. Definitely do what you can while you can... life trots on pretty quickly the older you get I find.

Thank you for the reply,you are spot on about life speeding up as you get older!all the best for the weekend, look forward to your next offering.😊

@amyjames6118 yes, it was a bit wild here, but settling down more now, just raining 🙄 I believe that those who truly live what could be viewed as a hard life, like my grandparents who were very poor (in money terms) but rich in life and love, perhaps don't see it as "hard" at the time, because they're used to it, it's how they live and get along. Perhaps hardship is how you see it, if you don't think it's hardship, it's not. I don't know if I'm explaining that well! Keep up the wild camping and outdoors for as long as you can while you still love it. Any time spent outdoors is good. Best wishes to you and your husband. 🌳

@kriskabin I believe it is the good life too 😁 Your life sounds great! I don't do so much travelling now, but I think it's the best way to "gather no moss"... I find that as soon as you stay in one place, you start to accumulate too much cr*p!! Which I am guilty of these days 🙄 Keep on truckin' and living life to the full friend.

@amyjames6118 ah that's very kind of you, thank you. I'm very glad they bring you some pleasure 😊 Makes it worthwhile doing them.

Glad you enjoyed it. I will give Min a hug on your behalf 😁🐶

Hi Paul. Yes I think with the long nights and in colder weather we use more energy. Getting cosy with the stove going in the wagon too, and a nice warm comfy bed doesn't encourage me to get up early either! Hope you're well 😊

I'm very well thanks,I'm the same as you in winter,reluctant to leave a warm bed in winter.

@MyMountainHomeandKitchen The benefits outweigh the negatives, so far at least. I try to make the most of what I have and be thankful for it. It's only as hard as you make it 🤍

@@thewagonwitch This is true!

Btw... you have inspired me to think about what I would consider to be a "hard life", and why I live as I do, which has been very interesting. So I'll be doing a vid about that soon I think. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏

@@thewagonwitch I think you are right and it is a matter of perspective. I lead what many people (family included) considers a hard life. But it's the life I've chosen (I think the "choice" part makes the difference)

Yes that is my conclusion too, it's only hard when you have no choice. I also choose this way, to keep me connected to what truly matters in life. I wish you much success and fulfilment in your chosen lifestyle. ☺️

@@MrAytch 😁😴💜

I'm OK thank you 😊

Thanks Amy, Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks Paul. Yes, the Wassailling is an old custom, somewhat revived in more recent years, practised in apple growing counties like Herefordshire, Somerset, Kent, Devon, Gloucestershire etc. Wassail originated as a borrowing from the Old Norse salutation ves heill, corresponding to Old English hál wes þú or wes hál; literally meaning 'be in good health' or 'be fortunate'. It usually happens on 12th night (6 Dec) or old 12th night (17 Dec).

@@thewagonwitch thanks for the explanation, I didn't wonder if it had norse origins myself. Keep warm and dry. If the weather is bad for you tonight.

​@@PaulHOWE-e5lthe weather is wet and nasty tonight, but snow is forecast apparently, so.... yippee! Time to get the sledge!

@thewagonwitch 👍⛷️

@kriskabin thank you. Its early days for my channel, so I'm still working out the direction to take it and finding my way around, so i really appreciate the feedback. There will definitely be more folklore tales, traditional / 'old ways' content coming in future. We have a lot of great ancient sites and folk tales from around the area I live, which I am looking forward to visiting and sharing with folks here. Watch this space!😁. 🌳🧙‍♀️

@np8173 ah thank you for that. Blessings to you too ⭐️

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. It was a beautiful moon indeed, perfect for moon-bathing. 🌕

Thank you, I appreciate that 🙏

@cynthiahamblin-perry5880 thank you Cynthia, I'm very happy that you enjoy it. More coming soon, fingers crossed!

😁😋🥞

Thanks Paul. I love to make spoons (though I take too long!). Glad you enjoyed this little film 😊🍂

@thewagonwitch they look beautiful, your very talented.

Thanks John! I really appreciate that. You're 100% right about spending time in the woods, time never wasted.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you very much!

😁 I'm glad you like it, my dog is a funny little thing! Thanks for watching.

Thank you!😊 I hope you enjoy.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you I'm glad you like it. It does smell great in the woods now, and the fungi are loving the damp weather too 🍄 Wishing you a golden Autumn 🍂 Season.

@ Thank you, and the same to you 🙏

Hey Paul. You are right there, I hope you are enjoying some simple pleasures too.😊

@thewagonwitch hiya,I'm working on that, trying to simplify my life.

Hurray! Glad to hear it 😁

@PaulHOWE-e5l rain all day and still going tonight, got floods on the roads around here apparently. Soup and bread was all the better for being cooked in defiance of the weather! Hope you have a dry cycle to work 🤞

@thewagonwitch you have to eat weather or not.stay warm and safe.fingers crossed for the morning fun ride

@@thewagonwitch it's was also a lively snapshot of your life.

Hiya. I haven't got problems with landlord, it's just that they want to sell this land and move on. I am welcome to go with them, which is lovely, but it will depend where they go to, might be too far away from partner and friends etc. We'll see, I trust the Gods to provide me with a suitable place if I have to move, they haven't let me down yet! I'm enjoying this space while I may, and enjoying doing the videos, which spur me on to do different things. Meanwhile, me and doggo are doing fine, dodging the weather! I'll be doing a "bread cooking " vid, as soon as we get a dry day!! Thanks for watching and for your support 🙏

@thewagonwitch hiya, I sorry for my mistake must have miss heard what you said.how lovely you have the option to move with them . Cooking vid would be great.keep up the great work with videos.i hope the gods keep smiling on you.and you and the dog are keeping dry.its chucking it down here too

@@PaulHOWE-e5l no worries. Yeah...the rain...boring ennit!?! I'm hibernating in the wagon today!!

@thewagonwitch best place to be I've just cycled back from the shops soaked. Keep warm and happy 😊

Hi Susannah! Thanks so much 😊 I'm a bit slow at uploading new vids at the moment due to limited facilities (and knowledge!), but I hope it will improve with time 🤞 Got some new little vids in the pipeline, so hope to upload again soon. Really appreciate your support 🙏 💜

@@joolzwebbA1 No worries. 👍🏻

@PaulHOWE-e5l Bannock is a simple bread, made with flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, splodge of oil - then fried (or baked) until golden. You make just enough for immediate needs as they don't keep well, but there's no waste which is why I like them. Tasty with eggs and bacon (if you like bacon 🥓). I can add a recipe if you interested.

Evening thank you for the link,have just watched your loner vid from a couple of weeks ago. My heart goes out to you about possibly losing your home.such a beautiful spiritual place. My old dad use to say "while there is breath in your lungs there is always hope."you and I are about the same vintage.im 58.they say 60 is the new 40.which must mean we are only middle aged.! Ps what lovely rings too.😊😊

@PaulHOWE-e5l Thanks Paul, so glad you enjoyed it. I feel at home amongst the rooks, ravens and owls, they're like chatty neighbours! I also currently have a pair of kestrels and some buzzards as regular visitors to the field, but the corvids are not as happy about that as I am!

@thewagonwitch6233 hi Ww, the recipe,would be lovely. I'm a veggie so no bacon(don't hold it against me.) Yes the covids wouldnt like them on there territory. I live in salford close to Manchester centre ,we have a couple of pairs of peregrine falcons,useless hear them calling from the building tops.a few miles south have parrakets ,so much nature even in the city.

@PaulHOWE-e5l I can't claim to be 100% veggie, but 98% maybe, I don't eat bacon either these days. Bannocks are usually eaten when still warm, so they're great to make mini pizza style with melty cheese on and toasted peppers etc. How amazing to have Peregrines to watch, and hear. I remember the parakeets in a park in London who woke me up in the morning while camping out at a craft fair, hundreds of them! It's true, Nature will take advantage of any available place, the nooks and crannies, pavement cracks, roofs of tall buildings. She is ever everywhere 🌳 I think I will do a short vid with recipe for Bannock and couple other breads I make, so watch out for that. They're mostly flat breads, apart from soda bread. Hope you continue to enjoy watching 😊

@thewagonwitch6233 I think a video on that traditional baking would be great idea, will give them a try this weekend and let you know. Won't taste as good as an open fire, I think it is the relations of the parakeets that kept you awake in london, what kind of fairs do you do .I come from good market trading stock myself.will check out your other work to night .hope ots sunny where you are .bye for now😀😀

@PaulHOWE-e5l here's a quick link to a good bannock recipe, scroll down for ingredients, measurements etc.
