Bertrand Russell: In Praise of Idleness and other essays

Almost 30mph winds here today and tonight in NE Pennsyltucky, US. ..pet cats are hiding in the house from the howls from outside! Keeping cozy though. ... Goodnight Friends!

Hi Tony I hope you continue to 'shoot the breeze' i do enjoy listening to you. As ive said, youre a wealth of knowledge and its the kind of knowledge i like! 😊 I hope the numbers of listeners agree and we can make this happen! Ps What genealogy sites did you find most helpful by the way? I have the dna 23andme site which shows im Irish, Scots and English (no Polish history as i and my dad thought. Hmmm! Long and unpleasantly discovered story! Ill leave you to draw your own conclusions 😢) ok thanks

I didn’t think I’d like listening to poetry. But you proved me wrong.😅 Thank you for introducing me to these beautiful poems. I’d love to hear more!!

Very enjoyable episode. You’re very talented. Well done.👍 👏 👏 👏 😎

Thank you! ❤

Fabulous, thank you. Keith McCloskey seems to be most invested in this mystery….love your work, Tony.

I'm such a fan of your work. I listened to the house of sleep on Spotify. What amazing talent you have and thank you so much for sharing. I truly enjoy the radio. This podcast really helps me unwind. Thank you

👍

"beautiful blue col- remember im colorblind" this had no reason to be as funny as it was lmao

Regardless of how many times I hear this story, I never tire of listening to it. Thank you!!

Have you read Boneland, Tony? (2012), by Alan Garner, it is an interesting read, it follows Colin’s exploits in later life and is interwoven with Garner’s themes of sense of place and individual human relationships with the land, mystical understanding of time, place and his love of archaeology and prehistory. Disappointingly for me it did not answer questions about what happened between Susan and Atlendor after the battle with the Morrigan in Moon of Gomrath, shades of my 12 year old self, I’m afraid, 😂 and introduced further questions regarding Gowther, Bess and the fate of Highmost Redmanhey … but a cracking read for all that.

This podcast is an utter delight!

Bussing refers to kissing.

Only just found this tony! After exploring your other channel, ghost stories. . ❤

Love your commentary. Educational. So cool.

Only just found these chanels...thank you so much very interesting and relaxing too 😊 and loving the couple of mentions of my home town Morecambe 😀

I'm tired of all the hate that is aimed at Catholics.

More of these! Love these videos

I was born and bred in Skipton. I was married in Bolton Abbey in 1980 to a local girl whose family were tenant farmers on the Bolton Abbey Estate. Few of the locals liked the Duke, and especially the then Duchess, of Devonshire for their attitude towards their tenants. The Duke's and Duchess's main interest was in their property at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. However, it was common knowledge amongst the locals that ghosts were often seen in and around Bolton Abbey Priory itself. They were often seen carrying casks (of beer) across the road to the cellars. I certainly would NEVER have spent a night in the church as this was well-known to be haunted. I did regularly drive down the road past the Abbey late at night on my way home from my (then) girlfriend's parent's house in the hope of seeing a ghost - but never did. A spoke to one local lady who was quite taken aback that I should question whether ghosts had been seen ... !!! These people were salt of the Earth Yorkshire folk who called a spade and spade and would never consider exaggeration or fabrication. I remember a TV programme was made in the 1970s (I think) which interviewed the then rector who related that he had seen ghosts near the Priory who 'floated' about a foot above the ground - explained by the fact that the ground levels had changed over the years. It has been interesting to listen to your video because it brought back memories of those years I spent in the area and especially at Hazelwood where my wife's parent's farm was located. I've just checked Google Maps and it appears the farm house has been renovated and converted into a house.

Great video thanks. I have heard that when the next normal three Keepers, came back, all three resigned; and refused to explain why. I would recommend an audiobook, The Lighthouse Keeper, as an interesting fictional version.

I fell asleep tonight listening to you and had a dream about you. I was in a store, and heard you talking and asked you to please speak in Welsh so I could hear what it sounded like! 😂

More King Arthur, please.

Your voice is like cinnamon butter 🤌🏻

I also celebrated a colossal drunk a couple of days ago (I should know better at my age) and your Sleepy Folklores have made me feel much better whilst recovering in bed :)

Interesting! Just one point - **(spoiler)** if the cousin "died instantly" - how do we know what she saw in the mirror?

His not wrong about America being a puritan country.there strict about alcohol over there

I'm relistening to all of these and enjoying them just as much on the 2nd or 3rd time around as I did on the first hearing. Thank you for these Tony.

Interesting.. the Hotwells house I know of was might have been before the one you are talking about g about as it’s normally called the old Hotwells house. This was on the banks of the river Avon and was actually on Hotwells point, that’s long gone.. they needed to make the river more navigable over the years so the river changed slightly. But the area is in between the suspension bridge and the lock gates.. as for the Highwayman from Cornwall. The Pill Sharks wouldn’t have had much of that in the area, especially if he showed up at Pill, Somerset which is 5 miles downstream.. the Pill men were the only ones who were skilled enough to pilot the ships up to Bristol and Pill basically held Bristol to ransom over hundreds of years which Bristol hated.. it caused lots of fighting over the years!⚓️🦈

TH-cam recommended this video along with others about the three light house keepers. I picked yours because of the beautiful thumbnail. I subscribed because of your lovely voice. You should have many more subscribers soon. Thanks for a peaceful, informative listen ❤

How on earth have I just found this!? Starting at Ep 1 right away.....

❤❤❤

Loved These, Thank you Tony!!

I Love Chillinghams Wild White Cattle!! ~Also Chillinhams Castle and Estate!! It IS Very Haunted, and has an Exremely Eerie Atmosphere ,,,,without a Shadow of a Doubt!! Thank you Tony for Everything you do, its gratefully appreciated by me and many other people, from the World over!!

I know that voice!!! I am a member of classic ghost stories podcast, enjoying this with my sassy Welsh corgi

Wonderful interview with Sheila, lovely to hear you both chat about the foraging, with care of the natural world too.

hiya, just a vote for hearing more of your own stories.... Absolutely Loved the Poisonous Rose!! Thank you.

I laughed out loud when you were arguing with ai!😂

Wonderful as always, Ive been looking for number #7... ? I was so looking forward to hearing the next instalment of your story of the rose child... Thoroughly enjoyed it & felt it was easily as good or better than many of the other stories you share. I do hope I find more. Please do read more of your work. Greatly appreciated.

Interesting story. I agree with you that peoples' brains work differently and some of us can see, hear, and smell things that others of us in the same room or place, cannot. At present there is so very little known about how the human brain works but one day scientists may discover the reason for this. Maybe there is some part of our brain that can detect other plains of existence whilst awake and conscious but for most of us it lies dormant and we can only access it during our dreams.

I've had to start listening to these in the day while I'm doing stuff (usually sewing) because I don't want to miss anything 💜😂 Thank you Sheila, you totally need your own channel too

Love the part about meat-eating, plants and animals' feelings etc. I myself was a vegetarian for over 10 years, but I no longer am. I still don't buy red meat and only eat it if someone was to present me with it as a meal. My reason for not eating was I didn't want to eat another animal's ‘fear’. Fear is frozen in the body on death. Especially in the course of factory farming and abattoir culling. When animals sense death therefore are filled with fear and adrenaline. There is already too much ‘fear within the world, the world is run on ‘fear.’, fear of the alternative. Decisions and solutions are made on the ‘fear’ of what may occur if not. .. in fact, I was a Pescatarian, I ate fish. The majority of fish is not farmed and fishermen have to toil at sea, sometimes for days, weeks on end. Risking their lives daily to help feed and shelter their own families, sometimes without reward.

Oh my goodness-focus!

Just a wee thought for your ref. I wonder if you have any knowledge of Steeleye Span, folk/rock group from the 70s, they have many songs that hold many little snippets of history & folk tales, legends & common practices & customs. "Gamble Gold & Robinhood" came to mind, but "Bonnie Boys of Bedlam", "Long Lankin" (The story of a builder who didn't get paid for the house so he brutally killed the wife & child whilst the master was away), Also the festive songs describing traditions such as The bird taken from house to house representing the King, "Soul cakes" among many others. Loving all your explorations here as I am currently very unwell & often sleep very little at night. PS loved the reading of "Velvet Green in one of these sessions... As a singer I experience the world largely through song, such a rich way to share the traditions & ways. Love if you could find some "Selky" stories, there are so many wonderful songs about them? Thanks as always, very grateful.

yep, love the custom, all good... & thank you

I’m so glad you’re back. I love these sleepy time radio episodes dearly, they are little treasures. I hope you’ll continue to shout out this channel on the ghost pod- I agree with you that more people would listen if they knew it existed

I noticed your use of the word Kaylied, haven't heard it for years, so this sent me down a rabbit hole of the etymology of the word.
