MY Goodness Nigel I could listen to you all day. I am sitting here in my living room in the USA enjoying my walk with you. Thank you so much for the videos. My prayers are for the UK and that all the unrest will be resolved. All the best to you. 🙂
@@billholden5271 Thank you so much, Bill. I can’t deny that it is getting very uncomfortable over here. You have problems of your own, apparently, and I wish you all the best.
Not engaged with “technology.” I’m eating a wrap with hummus I made and cucumber slices (I grew it from seed!) sprinkled with chopped herbs from my garden pot. Such simple blessings! Blessings to all of you. ❤️💜💙💛🩷
We need more of this. I still get a buzz when the seedlings pop through the compost. Then eating a meal we've grown ourselves is so rewarding-& tasty 😊
@@carmengiles456 Indeed. You put your hands and positive energy into the soil and it uses that energy and gives you a cucumber. If the bugs get one leave it there for them. Share and it eat the rest!💚💚
Some live to create chaos. They just wait to an opportunity to ply their trade. The trick is to see them for what they are, so it is easier to avoid, confront or protect yourself from their product. Society is currently designed to keep you going nonstop, so no one has time to think. Thanks for the video.
I wish I had your ability to detach from it all and just “be”. I try very hard to do that but often to no avail. I will continue to try. Thank you for the inspiring talks. Peace and love from Canada. ❤
It takes effort to direct your mind to a better place ❤ keep trying. My daughters boyfriend bought her flowers today was beautiful yellows and a deep shiney blue colour. Turns out it was a African Lily. It smelled like rubber balloons 😂😂😂. Hope you have a peaceful calm night. Love Dotty xxx❤❤❤
Thank you I so wish I could go walking with you Nigel your funny your wise and you teach us how to come back down to earth your a pleasure to watch ❤🦋❤️
Nigel it’s hard not to talk about it , everything feels broken and I fear we will never get back that Britain we once loved , so yes if one can detach and appreciate that walk in nature as you do then perhaps we can lower the stress. Peace and Love this should be our mantra
It is difficult to, Linda. I actually have very strong, but hopefully, very fair and reasonable political views, and I don’t know if I could, with all honesty, tell people this will all end well. All I can do is try to be positive and hope I can make a few people breathe easier.
Same here in the states. Probably not much we can do to change things back to normal so just getting out in nature and try to enjoy the time we have left.
Sadly for a lot of people when they're in a dark place and they see the light at the end of the tunnel someone will slap a new length of tunnel down, but occasionally, just occasionally that light is someone with a torch trying to help you out, as you say there are a lot of good people out there, you just have to recognise them.
i woke up today feeling very anxious i decided that i would follow my mums cure for everything, have a bath do your hair and, put some make up on. i went over down to heaton park and just sat opposite the boating lake. all i could hear was sirens and planes lol. i came back. scrubbed the kitchen out (my mums other cure was to give the house a good clean. i feel better now. your videos are a pleasure to watch. blessings to you and molly.( sorry for thelack of capitals i dont know where the key is on this macbook
Well said. I walked to local park yesterday Sunday, just sat and thought... just had to get out the house. Intact was out again for another walk Sunday just needed that outdoor escape from it all. Today been trapsing round to gey right Thyroid meds. Felt propper fed up. So thought what my mum would of said, go for a shower you'll feel better for it. And I do. 😊. I can't change the world, I can just change me and getting angry or fed up won't change anything. Just makes me miserable. Its a two sided coin, coz you don't wanna be ignorant with whats happening. But I don't like it one bit.
I’m glad to have nature as a place of peace and refuge. I can walk along the beach and listen to the sea,watch gulls and just breathe. My life has stress but I’m able to cope as long as I connect with nature. My art practice also keeps me sane and happy. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts,enjoy your day 🫶🏻✨🌳
I hope that the unrest keeps well away from you Nigel. I couldn't believe it when I read that several countries have advised their citizens not to go tothe UK. Out of all the countries that have travel warnings against them! Wow! How things change. Having said that, the best part of your video was seeing you just walking through the countryside and enjoying it.
I'm with Molly, I didn't want to get out of bed this morning, either!. I have distanced myself from most social media because of the bombardment of inaccurate and inflammatory stories and posts. I think it's better to wait for cooler heads to report facts.
i have deleted all of my social media the only reason i am still on youtube is because i love nigels down to earth videos he has a lovely calm energy. xxxxx
I think you are doing the right thing. I tend to watch news from all quarters, but am fortunate enough to have grown a thick skin over the years. I believe no one except my mum and Molly.
I'm sorry about what's going on there. I pray for peace. I'm going to keep trying to avoid stressful situations and thoughts. I really struggle with it at times but these things pass. Thanks as always. ( PS - I really like the sound of the wind in trees. )
Have you noticed the black berries are ripe now? I was out with my dog this morning and stood eating fat wild blackberries. It was quiet and cool. Perfect.
Until just a few days ago I was picking a handful of wild cherries every time I took the dogs out. Usually the starlings eat them all before they're ripe.
I was in my friends garden the other day, and we were eating raspberries and blackberries. Im just out with Molly, and am going to walk down to where all the blackberries are. I usually collect them for blackberry and apple crumble. ❤️
@@dorisemone6778 I make fabulous crumbles…… but…. but…. My salads are legendary. When my friend and I have a bbq or an impromptu meal, she just says…. Bring a Nigel salad. I may do a picnic video with a salad….. what do you think?
@@primalengland Absolutely! Can't wait. Funny...that you are famous for your salad. I am also always asked to bring my salad! Wish you could mail me some of your crumble! LOL! 😸😋Peace and Love.💚
I can relate to these videos so much. I can’t imagine who I would be if I didn’t get out in nature. As you mentioned the wind blowing through the trees, that is one of the most soothing sounds I enjoy. I’ve been without a tv for about 12 years and I’ll never have another. It was such a noisy, useless thing. Peace and love, yep, we need more of those things now. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
me to robert this is going to sound awful but 2 days after my partner passed away i gave my tv to a charity. i used to call it the black altar i only have a chromebook now.
I live less than a mile from the centre of Rochdale, I can't believe we haven't had any violence here yet. I'm sure we will get some just because of the reputation of Rochdale, believe me, most of us are ordinary people just trying to get on with our life. I can't say more, not without getting both political and angry. Peace and love to all, from me and my dogs, Billy and Skye.
I hope it doesn’t involve you, but these things just go their own way. I’m wondering if it will spread outwards from Bolton. My ears prick up every time I hear a loud noise. Be safe.
a lot of my clients are asian women from rochdale its all they have spoken about today most are so afraid for their children, they are also afraid that their children will be radicalised the youth are lost and dont know where to turn
@@karen-np8zn Two of the families in my street are Asian. I honestly can’t imagine them being anything but nice, quiet, law-abiding people. There are lots of young, mostly boys, on all sides being radicalised. It must be heartbreaking for the parents that want nothing but to have quiet lives. Having said that, there are parents all across the world who want to live out their hate through their children.
Fabulous countryside/park that ye 🐾 walk through. You are so in tune with nature...🦄 thanks for sharing as ye walk & pause. 🦋🐞🐸🌻🪰🌿 🐦⬛ oh & a sycamore leaf 🍁 Sending you, & family & friends & Molly + your subscribers = best wishes, peace & harmony. Regards. Rose 🌼
You have to be vigilant about where you put your focus as they say wherever you go there you are, limit your exposure to news, social media , the world surround yourself goodness you can only be accountable your own behaviour . Xx enjoy your walk
Thank you for your words of wisdom - they are so poignant in this time of turmoil. I get my new headlines from the BBC and Loose Women (😅). I avoid all the social media sites. You are so right about slowing down to slow your mind and stress levels. When I used to work, we were constantly rushing around, multitasking, rushing in and out of online meetings. When I used to notice I was getting ‘flighty’ I would slow my movements down, walk slower, move more deliberately,stop multitasking . I have to say it was very calming and I would notice my breathing slowing also. I hope you stay safe. Love and peace ❤
Thankyou Nigel! I found you a week ago and I am already one of your biggest fans. I am 63 yrs young and have had cancer twice now. I find my peace in nature. Like you, it takes my soul to a much needed rest from all the chaos in the world. All I can say is put your cell phone down, have a conversation with someone face to face. It saddens me to see everyone looking down at their phones when I do venture out for my walks. I will not allow myself to follow the pack. Looking forward to more walks with you and Molly. Peace and love my friend from Canada!!
Watching your video is the closest I can come right now to a walk in nature. It's midnight here in south Texas and still 87 degrees. Our forecast is 101 (38) or hotter every day for the next 10 days. Everything is brown and crisp.🥵 I'm so looking forward to winter, such as we have. A poem from my childhood: "Spring has sprung, fall has fell, summer's here and it's hotter than...." So grateful for your lovely videos, so green and cool looking. Thank you.
I have to hope that _Understanding Social Media_ is, or quickly becomes, a subject to be studied at school. It's more vital than ever that young people learn to look critically at their Social Media feeds, understand who has posted what, try to figure out the poster's motivation and, most importantly, fact check any claims made. I have to say I don't do this myself all of the time but I _do_ when whatever I'm reading is contentious. I'm sure many 'grown ups' do this but still far too many do not. Molly is like my old feller, Toby, a Jack Russell now in his fifteenth year with failing hearing and eyesight - his nose is now his window on the world and a walk can sometimes seem to take forever! P&L Nigel. 👍🏼
That is a very good point, Mick. Social Media isn’t going anywhere, and the information put out is sophisticated and persuasive. Critical thinking and the ability to deconstruct would be as useful, if not more useful, than many subjects taught in schools today. I’ve been looking at Molly’s eyes. I’m not sure if she’s forming cataracts or not. She quite often stands looking for me when she’s only a few feet away. Mind you, my eyes are buggered, too.
I agree with you mate,social media sucks,i enjoy your channel i love the countryside, Australia has similar problems, too much agro i get out on my bike and leave the crap behind,soak up the serenity keep well mate.
Back when I was little (the 1960's) it was still possible to climb into the Major Oak. 🌳Somewhere there's a photograph of me grinning like the Cheshire Cat from inside the trunk. Happy days.

Silly question, is sherwood forest where the super old tree is? I know silly.lol.
Not a silly question, and yes. It’s called ‘The Major Oak.’
Back when I was little (the 1960's) it was still possible to climb into the Major Oak. 🌳Somewhere there's a photograph of me grinning like the Cheshire Cat from inside the trunk. Happy days.
Will it be safe in the countryside in the future? I really hope so!!! Not destroying it for housing!😮
That’s something I think about a lot.
