[@robineasby5328]

The Northumberland coast is beautiful. The view from the beach jus north of Bamburgh Castle, looking back towards it, is one of the best views in the country. The book shop in Alnwick is amazing. Thanks for posting a video from such an amazing part of the country.

Alnwick pronunciation = "Ann-ik". I visited there long ago and loved the 'poison garden'. My sister lives near a very similar book shop to the one you visited - great quality books, well worth owning and reading, thousands of them all beautifully organised - superb! "Astley Book Farm" is worth a visit by anyone - books about all subjects at all prices! I could spend hundreds of thousands of £££££ there, if I had them Paradise. And with someone lovely like you to visit one of them with life would be all the better. That knitted top and skirt is perfect on you

[@theKNI]

We're so lucky in the UK to have such intact historical places. Believe it or not there's a 75 - 100ft sandstone cliff face / hillside that drops directly into my back garden at the top of which is a mostly ruined 11th century castle which I can see from any of my rear facing windows. It's nothing like as touristy as Alnwick etc since only the gatehouse and outer wall really survived the battles and scavanging of stone over the centuries but there are some plaques inside it explaining some of the history of our area and the old intact gatehouse, which originally became the local courthouse, was eventually converted into a rather nice pub a long time ago. I actually have a LARGE bible in my house that was originally from the chapel that stands next to the castle which was visited by King John. Apparently the old sandstone church on the site of the original chapel, which is still in use, wasn't too interested in said bible as they're not all that uncommon being early printed versions and therefore relatively mass produced for the time so my dad who worked at the church rescued it from a water leak in an adjacent building and I was able to keep it. :)

[@missnancysdayoff]

True ts pretty amazing. Wow that’s insane! I kind of prefer ruined castle to be honest. Also ones that aren’t crawling with people, lucky you, sounds like a really interesting place to live. And an ancient book that is cool 😊

That feeling you had while talking to the Vegetali server, is something that might be helpful to experience more often. Rejecting the normalization of violence toward animals, questioning human supremacy/speciesism and having the compassion needed to act on one’s empathy can be extraordinarily isolating. A tiny percentage of people become and stay vegan. Connecting with each other can be heart warming. Same for anyone living/working to end other forms of oppression and supremacy. Finding one’s tribe contributes to contentment. Not trying to turn this into a vegan channel…you saying getting things off your chest resonated with me and probably any/every vegan who listened to you :)

[@stevecooper3510]

The Vegetali owner converting a horse trailer clearly has a sense of humor!

[@missnancysdayoff]

You’re absolutely right I’d be the first to admit I really have not found my tribe and sometimes it’s a struggle not being around anyone who feels exactly the same. I’d love to connect with more vegans, I think I’d be happier it can be a lonely road. I mean I know there’s loads out there just not in my sphere.

[@stevecooper3510]

@@missnancysdayoff Companion animal welfarists do wonderful but hard work of rescuing dogs, cats, birds, horses. However, in my experience and the stats demonstrate, most of them have little or no empathy/compassion for farmed animals. The same goes for conservationists/nature lovers who do essential work/volunteer to protect the environment and wildlife, plants. All of these wonderful people make real differences in the lives of animals. Generally, people who work/volunteer at farmed animal sanctuaries have the broadest sphere of moral concern that includes all species (although some could do more to minimize the harm to wildlife that results from farmed animal rescue). Most farmed animal sanctuaries welcome volunteers whose availability to work may range from daily/weekly/monthly or even just on the occasional work party days focused on special projects. Imo it’s the more comfortable way to connect and make new friends compared to vegan meet-up groups.

What’s all the question marks for?, and why is it in “”?, are you a small child just hitting any key?

[@chrishamilton2527]

Oh my, what an amazing post. The photography slaughtered David Attenborough's best ........ and that bookshop. Do they have a wood fire and hot chocolate? If so, Im hibernating there over winter. A little piece of heaven. As for the castles......love those as well. The best castle I visited was Krak des Chevaliers - stunning, in my opinion, but was a long drive to get there. Ive just spent the last week hiking - you clearly had the good weather as it was tipping down over Dartmoor, but I was able to wild swim as the waters were in flood.I need to get back there before Christmas. This video is going to create a challenge for you to beat - but once you are able to introduce Carolyn K's character alternative then you will have the best of the best. PS I keep meaning to see HP's films but never seem to get around to watching them.

Thank you! So kind. I’m sure they had hot chocolate, not sure about the fire but I’d like to think so, unless open flame is a hazard to the books?! Lucky you Dartmoor one of my favourite places, where did you swim, I’ve so many more spots to try out there. Ah yes that is going to be a really special day 🤞 the films are good but it’s really about the books, I remember rushing to the bookshop to collect my copy as soon as it came out and staying up all night reading it. Much more important than films ❤️

@@missnancysdayoff I went to Castle Drago first before hiking a 31 mile loop around Okehampton range with a wild water swim near Meldon. We, Rudi and I, always seem to find stunning places to camp - absolutely love doing this and intend to do so through the winter. No such thing, as Wainwright said, as bad weather; just bad clothing (not sure Im entirely convinced but can accept the concept).

[@missnancysdayoff]

Wow that’s a long walk sounds great though. I think I need to do my first wild camp soon, maybe Dartmoor is the place

[@chrishamilton2527]

@@missnancysdayoff be wary; wild camping can become addictive. Dartmoor is one of my favourites as it’s easy to get to (along with North Wales, Cumbria, Scotland etc etc 😂) I’m back there early November so will keep a weather eye open.

@chrishamilton2527 sounds like an ok addiction! Hope I don’t freeze to death might have been easier to start in summer, I don’t have any fancy gear. Better try to go before it snows!

Footnote: regarding books. "There are those who own my favourite ever book and those who will own i"t. And the winner is...... The Book Thief. I beg you to read it, if you haven't already. It'll move you to tears. It did, me. (yes. That comment originally referred to The Hobbit). I too am bookish. This gets better with every vid I watch. I could live in that library there.

[@missnancysdayoff]

I will look it up i think i might have picked one up!
