    When the master of story telling & videography of the scottish landscape uploads a new video, its time to put a filtered coffee on and put the feet up and enjoy this incredible talented local hero for entertaining those in need of relaxation.
    Old man you say.... Sawed through that tree with the little folding saw like a man stil in his youth..... Atvb Donny... Keep going *G*

    A beautiful part of the world you live in, Donny. I feel the weather would be a problem for me in winter, the cold would get into my bones. The new drone music is pretty spooky, works well with the stark winter visuals.

    • @donnywilcox
      @donnywilcox  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks TB-us7el ..the winter weather can get me down.. but it helps me appreciate spring and the warmer months. Im coming out of hibernation now 😀

    You can’t beat foraging for timber then sit in front of its warmth watching the many pictures the flames produce

    Absolutely amazing. It may just be me but I absolutely love low cloud, fog etc. I just love it when it clings to the mountains, and different heights. I know I’m weird lol. But to me it adds to the atmosphere.

    • @donnywilcox
      @donnywilcox  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yup..Im a sucker for those kind of days too captain..I think I prefer them to the hazy days of summer..although I enjoy the warmth then 😀

    Time well spent Donny, in more ways than one. I hope to be up there soon my self, so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

    • @donnywilcox

      The beach has been difficult to launch from Ashley but this weekend some visitors cleared the seaweed away from the access ..so I can now get a car on the4 shore again 😀

    Inspiring as always, Donny...a lovely narrative and a bright light to lead us out of Winter and into the hope of Spring..thank you.
    Like many followers on here, I have not met you (yet) but you always seem like a friend, bringing joy to the dark days and lighting the way to the brighter times to follow.
    Sadly, due to an op, I can no longer lug my boat and outboard to the water's edge, but before I sell them I hope a good friend of mine will help to get me afloat for one more season...and it will be a good one!
    Thanks for your amazing videos!

    The tressel is very clever. Does the wood simply need to be dried before use?

    • @donnywilcox
      @donnywilcox  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yup.. its not green wood TB-us7el ..so it dries out quite quickly ..but I keep it over the summer for next winters use 😀
