Nigel, your thoughts were understood…please never apologise for speaking your mind. We appreciate your honesty and can sympathise with the way you feel ❤
Nigel, you’re so lucky to be able to live in a place where there are things like Neil with the burial grounds and just beautiful history that’s been preserved.
Enjoying the different perspective today Nigel , glad Molly was tempted by some fish I hate when our pets are a bit off colour it’s often a guessing game , if only they could talk 🤗
While I can absolutely enjoy walks in woods and the beauty of valleys and tranquil lakes, my true love are wide open spaces like those rolling English sheep meadows, high coasts, wide beaches! The landscape embraces me, takes me in, while the winds refresh my soul! 🐕🤗 Peace and Love to You All out there 🪷 Edit: The landscape I grew up in - Westphalia - was rural, quite flat, a tranquil river we could carry our inflatable canoe to from our home in a flashy new 70ies suburbia, grain fields, cow meadows , hedges, industrial heritage (Ruhr). Given the choice of playing in the beautiful woods - open old beech hunting and swine feeding forests - or the riverside, I would always prefer the open mosaic of fields, meadows, hedges and small woods the river was pulsing through! I guess, it's a cultural thing! Your birth landscape! Landscape is culture, development over millennia, engraved deeply into our core needs! Babbling brooks were swamp, before we formed the landscape! Forests were wild, before we sent in our meat pigs! Your British dry stone walls were deemed brutal once! We adapt to the countryside and it will form us to it's mold! Probably one explanation for our being drawn to the prehistoric sites, as well, in the long run! They were clever people, they picked the best places!
To tell you the truth, I’d hardly ever walked in a wood or by a lake until my heart disease got worse about 6 years ago. Our family holidays were always taken in Scotland or the Lake District. I was climbing with ropes at about 6 years old, and my last climb before I had to give up was up Helvellyn in the Lake District. I was in my mid 60s and two of us decided to go up in deep snow. It’s the last time I ever wore crampons or used an ice axe. I sold them shortly after. I have some great photos of that day. It was heartbreaking to look back at a fell I had climbed many times, and think that I would never again. I remember saying goodbye like I was saying it to an old friend. I never thought I would like low level walks, but as I get older, and Molly gets older, I like being able to find solitude somewhere where I am surrounded by busy nature. It’ll never beat the thrill of scrambling up the side of a mountain, though. 😊⛰️
@@primalengland Bestest thing for me is on a hard wet sand just as close as possible to the sea! I can go for miles - storm, rain or shine! Always against the wind first! It is my special joy, right on the rim of water, sand and air!🌊
I once assembled a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle which looked identical to the picturesque landscape @20:25. When I finished the puzzle, I would pass by the table and rub my hand across it with a calming effect. This feels like deja vu......
No need to apologise for anything my friend. You make a lot of really good points. Your content us always so positive and upbuilding, and I often watch your videos more than once. Just keep being you Nigel, you are the best mate! Thank you.
True words ❤ enjoyed the video, and I knew a lady with a Scottish terrier who always wiped his muzzle on the carpet after his dinner, only a man with a moustache and a beard will understand the need lol
Great video. I'm in South Wales on the edge of the Beacons. One of the things I love is seeing the high places I've walked from several miles away on at 'ground' level. It give me a relational sense of landscape I didn't get living in the south east.
Please always feel free to voice your concerns ….even anger….to us. It’s a safe space. 😊. Your differing countrysides are lovely, quiet and healing. ❤️
We've been on two walks recently and hopefully we'll get out for one today....I think we'll head for the forest today where there's no cars or people. There are a few areas where we can get up high and see the farm houses in the distance and maybe hear a bit of traffic 🙂
The area where you are in this video is the kind of area where Lord Sherpa loved walking with his dog dad Jamie I enjoy your videos that you upload. How is your dog doing. Merry Christmas to you and her .
I guess we are their little gods! As well as their caretakers/parents/feeders/pack leaders ... Whatever you may call it! But as their life is naturally so much shorter than ours, I guess it is wanted that we - their little gods - take care of them! And when they are gone ... there might be the chance to make another doggie happy and feel love!🐕❤️
Such a beautiful environment, I can imagine how fresh the air is up there. About the previous post please don’t apologise, your channel, your viewss, good or bad days its all relevant and authentic. Btw Molly doesn’t have the luxury of using a napkin after her meals so the furniture does just fine 😂
No need to apologise, you needed to voice how it had affected you. It would have been playing on my mind too if I'd witnessed it. ❤ Interesting perspective you had up above the towns and villages. I was having a cosy natter in a friend's conservatory down below. I felt an unsettling insecurity as you rambled on your ramble. The sheep provided a modicum of comfort, and yourself and Molly, of course. But it was otherwise isolated and made me feel quite alone and insignificant in the world.
Until quite recently I only ever headed for high, lonely places. Many times I’d camp on a summit or a remote beach. I love the feeling of being alone and a bit vulnerable. ❤️
I love that, because my daughter is called Lucy. She loves her dad, and I remember her rubbing her little baby face against mine. Now she had blessed me with grandchildren, but she will always be my little Lulu. ❤️
I truly don't know why anyone would criticize you for anything you say, ever. Please don't apologize. Keep on talking to me. You always make my day brighter and my heart lighter. I only have one problem...I so wish I was actually there walking in Lancashire with you and Molly. But you showing us helps. Take care dear heart ❤
Every dog I've ever had loved to rub their faces on things after eating. Of course, they also got the zoomies after pooping. Glad humans don't do that! 😏😆
Yes. They all seem to be in three fields adjacent to the farm. We actually met the girl from the farm on our way back. She was just setting off up the moors to check. So many sheep in one place is an impressive sight.
Why would you apologise for your last video...i got it.....Have you noticed the racket the Blackbirds are making at the moment...they must know something we don't.....isn't nature wonderful
We went out early the other day. It was still dark. The blackbirds were making a racket, and so were the foxes. I had to put Molly on her lead. It sounded like we were surrounded.
Never apologize for speaking your mind 😘
You say what you want/need to say, L.N. Good for all of us. Hwyl nawr, Taffy Nige 🤘✌️
Nigel, your thoughts were understood…please never apologise for speaking your mind. We appreciate your honesty and can sympathise with the way you feel ❤
Thank you, Jennifer. ❤️😊
Nigel, you’re so lucky to be able to live in a place where there are things like Neil with the burial grounds and just beautiful history that’s been preserved.
I often go up to Pikestones, the burial site. It’s a great place to just sit and think. 😊❤️
Nature and animals...Wonderful. 🐕🐕🐾🐾🌲🌲❤
Thank God for open spaces.
Absolutely! Long may they be left alone. 😊
Enjoying the different perspective today Nigel , glad Molly was tempted by some fish I hate when our pets are a bit off colour it’s often a guessing game , if only they could talk 🤗
Thank you for sharing your beautiful wisdom ! Listening with pleasure always 👍🌈🌲🙏❤️✌️
Thank you so much. 😊❤️
The silence of the lambs!
Oooh 'eck... wouldn't want to meet Hannibal Lecter up there!
I should have shouted. ‘Mint Sauce!’ That would have woke them up. 🐑🐏
Lovely walk with you today. I live on high ground up in Scotland & I love the open harsh landscapes. Thanks Nigel 🏴
You are so lucky, Christine. I remember many happy holidays on the west coast. Beautiful views and midges. 😊❤️🦟
Thank God for you saying what you feel and believe❤
Ramble on. Thank you. Love.
Thank you so much. 😊

Hi Nigel, I hope Molly got over that limp she had recently. She's a gorgeous girl ❤🐾
She did get over the limp. It slowly improved over a couple of days. I’m glad I didn’t have to take her to the vets. Thank you for asking. 😊❤️🐕🦺🐾

100% pretentiousness free, slow living folks earned the right to feel like small gods. It's available for all, a matter of choice.
It is available to all. Costs nothing and harms no one.

I love that feeling, when you look at a peak in the distance, and think. ‘I’ve been up there.’ ⛰️
@primalengland Exactly!
P.S.: That's just Mummy Earth checking in on ya!😅 Taffy Nige 🤘✌️
Love your videos Nigel. Such a shift from the rush of life. Keep it up. Legend.
Thank you so much, Andy.
This is absolutely wonderful
Please always feel free to voice your concerns ….even anger….to us. It’s a safe space. 😊. Your differing countrysides are lovely, quiet and healing. ❤️
Thank you, Deb.❤️❤️😊
Your beautiful clothing is admired. Lovely to see such knitting.
Thank you so much. 😊
The walk was lovely!! Perspectives put a different slant on things, don’t they? Nature is a healing balm. Love to you and Molly.
And much love to you, too, Cynthia. ❤️
thanks for the video😊
Thank you. 😊
I really enjoyed your last video,to be honest you said what I think.👍

Hope you enjoy the day. We’re just going to set off for our mid day walk, trying to avoid the weekend crowds.
Molly having a minute lol
She makes me smile the whole day through. 😊❤️🐕🦺🐾
The area where you are in this video is the kind of area where Lord Sherpa loved walking with his dog dad Jamie I enjoy your videos that you upload. How is your dog doing. Merry Christmas to you and her .
And you will have seen my video when Sherpa passed, Jamie is doing well. Molly is 14….. I’m not sure I could cope without her.
I guess we are their little gods! As well as their caretakers/parents/feeders/pack leaders ... Whatever you may call it! But as their life is naturally so much shorter than ours, I guess it is wanted that we - their little gods - take care of them!

Now I’m afraid to inspect the front of the couch. Goodness knows what I might find. 😊❤️

@@primalenglandI love being alone, but only in a place of safety... like a padded cell 😂
I wonder how much longer these lovely landscapes will last before houses are built on them? 😢😢
My little Lucy did that as well….i always thought it was her trying to clean her face after a full on dive cleaning out her bowl.✌🏻🫶🏻
I love that, because my daughter is called Lucy. She loves her dad, and I remember her rubbing her little baby face against mine. Now she had blessed me with grandchildren, but she will always be my little Lulu. ❤️

What do you mean people don’t do that??? Now I’m either confused or, or shouldn’t live in Bolton.
Nigel, just curious... Have they gotten around to fixing those 4000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire? Lol
Not yet. We’re shipping them down to London to fill the Albert Hall. 😊😉
@primalengland 👍❤️
Hey Nigel. Have the sheep been brought down off the moors for the winter ?
Yes. They all seem to be in three fields adjacent to the farm. We actually met the girl from the farm on our way back. She was just setting off up the moors to check. So many sheep in one place is an impressive sight.

What do the "busy" people think it is they are achieving?
Being busy. They got the memo. 😊
