    Have just found your channel and have subscribed.Been watching your videos back to back.....Superb. Love your ideas and attitude but also the deeper thinking and realisation of the depths of nature. Strangely (or maybe not) we were in the Beacons and did a 'Fan Dance' Today, 22/03/2 - to scatter some of the ashes of a lost team member - driving home I picked up your channel while my partner Katarin was driving) Stay well, stay safe, Helen and Katarin Juska-Law, with Terri and Robyn (Eastern UK fenlands).

    Just stumbled across your channel, enjoying what ive watched so far. Now ive just started watching ithis video.
    Probably rings a bit to close to home. In the last 2 years its frightening how many people close to me have passed including my Father. Makes you feel very fragile. And ive probably stressed a bit too much of late. So hoping this video might help me a bit. Right back to the video.
    Keep plodding..

      It really is one of my fav spots in the BBs - the dip was so good, the sun was still quite warm so that helped 😁 thanks for watching!

    New subscriber 💥. Loss,like a big change in personal situations can be a massive hit. The "reset" being out in the fresh can mostly be very cathartic. Best wishes 😊
