It was a really great pleasure and a beautiful moment to watch Your great and very interesting video, dear Rob !!😍👍18... Many Thanks to You for sharing, my friend !😘 Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🎄🌟 Warm greetings 🎶 Arlette
I sometimes get lost for the same reason, to take -- what appears to me -- a more scenic path! But they say "All the roads lead to Rome", and I'm sure I could find my way home from Rome 😜 I enjoyed your narration a lot! You've motivated me to read the whole Wikipedia article about T. Hardy and I thank you Rob for that.
I'm pleased you liked it Toto. It was too easy to get lost! When the weather improves I'm going to do a walk around Dorchester and that will include Max Gate, where Hardy lived later on and his statue which is at the top of the main street. I've checked Crop and Zoom in Filmora - tx for that. It works very well for 'large subjects' like a river or a view. It doesn't work so well for more precise subjects - birds on a bird feeder, for example - too much of the subject disappears. I will start to take some portrait shots on my phone to use with #shorts
@@TheCountryTraveller I'm looking forward to it! And you are right about the zoom, some shots taken in landscape format just can't be converted to portrait. In that case black bars on top and bottom are the better.
Thank You. Greetings from Opole, Poland. Never been to Hardy's Cottage. The closest I got was Taunton where I worked (ages ago) at a fruit farm. Beautiful, too. Right now I'm reading Under the Greenwood Tree, Hardy's first important novel. Very English writer, and definitely a good novel.
Hello Less is More. I'm pleased you viewed my Thomas Hardy video, I hope you enjoyed it. We couldn't go into the cottage then because of Covid. I have been inside before though - it's quite small. I went to school in Dorset and we read several of Hardy's books. I hope Spring is arriving in Poland - it's very late here! Best wishes, Rob
What a beautiful walk! Thank you for taking us along. Watching this while Winter is upon us and while being on lockdown.... Needless to say your video gives us all the right vibes
You know, whenever I come to those horrible clearing areas the paths are gone 🤬 They’re supposed to tidy up so that people can find their way, but they never do 😖 Great walk and interesting narration as always 😊👍
Tx very much SND. Yes we were completely baffled, there was no sign of any paths at all. It was a nice walk though. I'm waiting for those warm days to come back. At least we have daylight still :)
That was an amazing hike Rob! Absolutely beautiful countryside! Edith looks SO happy! Interesting about how many brits ended up Aussies. 🤔 I think the getting losts was the best part of this video! 😃 I enjoyed "walking" with you today my friend. Big 👍 ~ Kristine Xander sends tail wags for Edith! 🐾
Hi Kristine, Thanks very much for your kind comments, much appreciated. Last August seems such a long time ago now! Yes, Edith enjoys here country walks (which she gets every day, mainly with Karen). Edith says WOOF to Xander :)
@@TheCountryTraveller The solstice is not far off now. My spirits are always lifted by the passing of the solstice when the light of spring flickers at the end of the winter tunnel...
Since I was a young chap growing up in rural Ireland I fell in love with Dorset and Hardy. It's my dream to visit this part of England. Im hoping to go in a few weeks, but it may not happen. Are the guesthouses plentiful? I'd feel it a sin to stay in a hotel in these parts
Hi P Mac C, thanks for watching the vid, much appreciated. It's a very nice part of the world. The nearest town is Dorchester, where you will fing Hardy's statue. This is where you will find most accommodation. A google search will highlight what is available. I hope that you can visit Dorset soon. Best wishes, Rob
I would be lost as well on that path:-) This is the beautiful countryside far from the madding crowd, but I think I never will understand the English system where private land is not necessarily free to roam. I would quickly have been sent to Australia if I brought my hiking habits to England's green and pleasant lands:)
Haha getting lost seems to come easily to us! This is just down the road from the Tolpuddle Martyrs village, which I expect you know. Most of them were transported although they were pardoned and they came back to Dorset, unlike most of the other convicts. It was a very nice August day, not too hot. Just the sort of day that I wish we had now :)
