I know you probably enjoy your regular job(s) a lot, but I'm sorry. I'm going to need you to keep doing this series for the rest of my life. I am 37 and haven't been so fascinated by learning since Reading Rainbow.
Thank you for sharing your time, your thoughts and your reading room with us. It has been a pleasure to discover Vox Tox!
Totally agree! after college in 70’s people kept asking me what I was doing. I didn’t have an answer as I had been through a bit of a trauma and was recovering. Around that time I heard on radio a quote from a nun who said “We are all so busy growing that we have forgotten how to bloom”
So after that when people asked me what I was doing I told them I was “blooming”. TREES - WILDWOOD a journey through Trees by Roger Deakin. 🌴🌿🌲🌱🍃🍂🍁🌻
I have "liked" all your videos and loved each and every one.
Thank you, Sandi Toksvig, for being so kind and considerate and such a good company
How did I not come across this channel earlier!
Your messages are definitely the highlight of my day. Your wit, wisdom and warmth - thank you for it all.
Sandi, please make than one of these a week. I love them. They ground me and make me smile. I made some coffee using espresso and fresh ginger. It's quite nice. I frothed some soy milk and made a bit of an Italian/Sudanese cappuccino. Then my dog (Daisy) accompanied me to the nature trail I'm blazing. It was lovely. The swans were taking their cygnets out for a morning swim (3 this year). Daisy found the shell of a turtle. I need to research how to preserve it. It's magnificent. Enjoy your day. Sip slowly. Read something new.
I do love you Sandi in a totally respectful, adoring way; the way one loves a hero. Thank you for the wisdom and kindness.🌿
Thank you so much for keeping us all a bit more hopeful in these times and encourage us to do things we 'never had the time for'. I often think we made ourselves unnecessarily busy so we can't ever stop and start thinking because for many of us being alone with our thoughts is scary.
Time is to be savoured and enjoyed. Loving these videos watching in Adelaide, Australia. I only discovered this TH-cam channel today (April 1 Aussie time), so I've binge watched every video up to now, and looking forward to what's to come.
This woman should be PM. And soon please.
1. I am going to try brewing my coffee with fresh ginger tomorrow morning
2. The feeling that everything is rushed and "kneejerked" all around me was very strong for the past year or so. This Pandemic gave me a little bit of time to realise I am profoundly unhappy with my work life and extremly gratefull for my husband and children, allthough they still drive me up the wall sometimes.
3. We all really need to play more and run less in our lives.
It does feel as though we're being taught a hard lesson about how we're living our lives. Something good has to come out of this mess and loss. A return to what is really important would be a good start. I've slowed down, switched off and rediscovered books, jigsaws, crosswords and family time... Not by choice but it is making me challenge some habits. Thanks for the lovely chat. Am going to try spices in my coffee tomorrow
Recipe for the ginger and herb coffee please ☕💕
So happy to see you back .... not so much the reason that you are back... I can and do rewatch... THANK YOU
Absolutely love this one Sandi 🥰 Books are like old friends 💓
Love this lady.
even though these are posted in chronological order, I like to dip in at random for my pleasant surprise. although it's not much of a surprise, because it's always very pleasant. Thank You Sandi for taking the time to present these. You didn't have to, but it's most appreciated that you did. Bigg Huggs !! Bigg Thanks!!
This channel is just the most wonderful thing you could have done. I listened to your book on Audible and I was sad when it was over so this is brilliant. Thank you 🤩
Music is great! ... so is the “Vox”! 👏🤣
I've just stumbled across this video in July 2021 and I can only say this is exactly what I needed right now! Thank you for this video, it means more than you'll know
Would love to know how you make your Medicin Coffee?
She said how she makes it
You’re singin’ my song, girl. Americans (I am one) are generally overwhelmed by the results of our obsession with “efficiency.”
Enough is finally enough. Mother Nature has put our species in Time Out for the last several months, and despite ourselves, we’ve seen some unprecedented results- clean air, wild animals in the streets of our towns, room to breathe and smell the blessed roses.
I pray that we can remember this and GROW into more reasonable, generous and noble creatures, emerging to play in peace and with respect for our fellow creatures. And now for a cup of coffee!
Slowing down, contemplating the structured ideas of time and clocks. walking in the woods and COFFEE! Soo very wonderful. Thank you for the info, although saddening, about the ancient trees that will probably be destroyed because of the faster train.
With Casper and Renee, would love your coffee recipe and I, a little somebody floating around the universe need you to keep doing this if you would be so gracious. You make the dark seem lighter and the fear seem not even worth being afraid of. As I live in the US I have a lot to be pained over. You make me feel like I can make a difference because you remind me there is something so much larger than self that I am actually a positive part of.
Thank you, Sandi, for this marvellous series. I am now re-listening to them all....I know what you mean by the pleasure of handling a book. I never let a day pass without reading. I have a very large library and find it very hard to part with any of them. Through this series, I feel I have got to know the "real" Sandi - the at-home Sandi. This is written from the very south of the South Island of N Z....Please come down under sometime!
Somehow, I missed this one. And, I needed it today. Mange tak, Sandi.
Thank you Sandi for your kindness and thoughtfulness, such a joy to watch and listen. Good health to you and yours.
I have the same mug as Sandi, what an achievement 😊
This is the greatest thing I've ever stumbled upon on TH-cam...and now I get to enjoy dozens of them? Bless you, Dear Sandi.
Dear Sandi
I REALLY HOPE THIS ISEN'T LOST. THANK YOU.
Firstly, I'm sorry if my spelling or grammar in slightly over the rainbow, I have the wonderful gift of being dyslexic, unfortunately, none of its gifts relate to spelling.
Thank you for doing these video’s, it really gives me a time to remember to take a breath in this crazy time we are all living in right now.
Your vlog, (Vlog, very strange word, comes to mind people slapping trees in the wilderness). Sorry I digress, your vlog today related to coffee.
I thought I would remind you of the time you made me coffee, well I thought you had made me coffee. I know it’s something you would never remember but it did have a very big effect on me.
While I was undertaking the works you got me round to undertake at your apartment just around the corner from Baker Street you kindly asked me if I would like a coffee, and what type would I like. I honestly thought my request for a white coffee with one flat sugar was not that hard of a feet to manage. You then promptly disappeared for 25 minutes and returned with a white coffee in a coffee Barista’s take away paper cup. I remember we chucked for some time over what actually denotes and defines a white coffee as the Barista had asked you more questions then you could answers. Was it a Latta, an Americano with a slash or even a flat white?
I was only expecting a cup of instant Nescafe, Gold Blend of course, maybe with a bourbon, or my daughters favourite, a good old custard cream.
In the course of undertaking the works you got me round to undertake I did ask you to come outside to see one of the oldest sights in London. We had to go on a walk around to the back of your apartment to see the bright green chimney brush sticking out from your chimney pot. At the time you found this very funny. What I found out some time later from listening to your radio show on LBC was you could never of see the brush slowly waving from the ebbs and flow of the invisible breeze. As you stated on your show “you are as blind as a bat” when looking at thinks over some distance.
It’s amazing how a small meeting can change a life, from that meeting and listening avidly to your radio show. I brought my first book, It was call, “We are what we think by James Geary 2005”. A journey through the wisest and wittiest saying in the world.
To give you some perspective, I was a complete elaterite at the age of twenty one, I only learnt to read when my first daughter was born, just wanted to be able to read her a book at bedtime. I always avoided entering bookshops as it would bring me out in a cold sweat. I was 40 years old when I met you and purchased “We are what we think”. Up until then I could count the number of books I had ever full read.
The thing is, from reading those very small saying within the book I started to let go and write, not spell just write. I have come to understand that spelling is not writing, spelling is the conformity of now to ade the reader. Writing is an inspirational thought that if not made static by written can disappear forever. So as you can see, I now write without the restrictions of spelling getting in my way.
At the age of 56 I have now written and published to books of my thoughts and feeling on life.
I have wanted to writ and thank you so often over the years but there is always another day, always another time, always another grain that passes away in time so quickly, so today is that day, thank you Sandi. x
Know one knows how long the ripples will last from every pebble we drop into the ocean of time, all I can say is the ripples from the pebble you dropped are still with me today.
Thank you for your time (the biggest gift one can give), the gift you never knew you gave me and the coffee of course. x
Love to you and yours from me and mine and remember, smile all day for nothing with change if we don’t.

i like these videos, they relax me, and that takes a bit. and i remember bits of some of the history stories from elsewhere. idon't mind being alone, but i can imagine a lot of people stressing about this dumb idea. personally, i think they went about it the opposite way. they should've made sure anyone in the high risk groups, which were known almost immediately, they should have been aggressively quarantined, not forcefully, but massive awareness campaigns, and making sure the people around them know how to protect them from infection. the rest of us would've been fairly safe. too late now
Coffee and Thoughts. 🎶
Until recently I had known you only from The British Baking show and totally enjoyed you. I just recently discovered this channel and absolutely love your knowledge, humor, and, interesting stories. How does one person amass such knowledge? You are one amazing lady.
Watch her on QI really brilliant also was on Time Team when they were doing a dig in York
"My vegetable interactions..." Bless her cotton socks.
I am enjoying these wonderful minutes every day. I think this will be the one thing I shall miss, when the lockdown is over. Thank you, Sandi.
A gentleman should be able to entertain three things in life. He should be able to entertain his friends. He should be able to entertain himself. And, most importantly, he should be able to entertain a new idea. It is our duty as gentlemen to lead interesting lives. And you cannot do that without reading and entertaining new things. Cheers,
Just wonderful!
Time...it is time for the United States to adopt the 4 day work week. Companies have to certainly believe the evidence now that people working from home or working limited days each week are more productive, more imaginative in their thinking, and happier.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for these insightful videos. 😀
After two months in lock down and, at my age, many more to come, I've been wondering what it all means and not coming up with an answer. This video "with medicine" was exactly what I needed. It tells me that I needn't hurry an answer, but that asking the questions themselves is enough for now. Thank you, and stay safe.
Love your Silence Please mug!! I need one!!
Thank you for helping me make peace with my mind...
Bless you, you wonderful, beautiful, wise, daft crackpot!
can you PLEASE keep making these videos after quarantine is over I genuinely don't know how I got through life without them lol
Always such food for thought - this episode is my favourite thus far.
Also, please save the trees! What can we do to save the ancient forests?
Another smashing episode
I love you and this wonderful work you do❤️
Thanks Sandi, this is informative and I loved it
Tak for det, Sandi
Thank you for these chats! You are an incredible gal!
Forgive my presumption, but I must say you are really making the most of enforced time off Mrs. T! Well done.
PS: And thank you for providing me interesting things to watch in the meantime.
WOW. 1.1k likes and no dislikes! This is quality content
More lovely words x
Love your mug. Silence please. 🙌🏻
Hi Sandi, my wife Ruthie and I were talking with each other referring to the story you told of the HS2 High Speed Railway being built at the expense of old growth forest in England. That sad fact stuck with us. Then, earlier today, we were talking with our son, who is an environmental attorney who found his niche doing video game law. He mentioned this name and story:
“Antonio Oposa Jr. is a creative litigator, organizer, and activist for environmental legislation in the Philippines. Oposa helped to litigate one of the first class-action suits taken by children to oppose environmentally-harmful actions taken by their government: in the 1990s, he represented 43 children from a local village to stop deforestation around the village that had been authorized by the Philippine government, on the basis that the children's rights would be harmed by the deforestation.” Maybe you know someone or someone at Woodland Trust who could represent the children along the proposed route of the HS2 High Speed Railway and maybe she or he could save that old growth forest in England in a similar way?
Thank you for your and your wife’s TH-cams and podcasts.
Thank you
Right... well now you need to give us method and recipe for this coffee please Sandi ❤
Sandi, have you read The Secret Lif of Trees by Peter Wollhelben? I think you may love it...
Thank you - off to look at planting a tree in my garden
After all this Covid lockdown business concludes, if it does, y’all might find the need for that train has passed by.
Reminds me of the early days of the US when rural folks ordered from catalogs when the general store didn’t have the item in stock. (Loretta Lynn’s Coal Miner’s Daughter captures the idea with new shoes every fall).
From there, we evolved to strip malls, mega malls, to now returning to ordering from the internet for delivery.
Curious.
Re the high speed train link, i got quite excited when i first heard about this. I live in Leeds and used to enjoy going to London when I lived in Oakham which is considerably nearer. I then thought about the destruction and thought meh is it worth it? later again i thought about how ridiculously expensive a ticket to London is now and realised, this train is for commerce, for capitalism not for little people like me. I will never be able to afford it even if i should want to. I don't really know what it is for anyway, why do we need to get to London 2 hours faster? so we can spend more time working, not so we can spend more time being constructive.
i love the talks, thanks Sandi
powdered or fresh ginger? I often slice a bit of fresh ginger and put it in the tea pot
I'm looking forward to eternal standard time
Well, it's not 6:30 am anymore.. but I'm still waiting on that damn coffee maker.
Can we have the coffee recipe?
Sandy, can you share your coffee recipe with us?
Next coffee tutorial please Sandi.

Ingefær er jo sundt 😉 og mindful spisning/drikning. Hvilket gør denne covid-19 tid sund....på nogle punkter i hvert tilfælde, hvis vi er åbne for det. Jeg ELSKER denne måde at kunne udvikle mig.
Re-upload? Now I get to be first
danish journalist, Mette Fugl, drinks her coffee the same way, and close to the same backstory
You are great at this please go pn
You are distracting me from learning how to pick a lock.....thankfully.

Thank you
