John rebuilds garden path VLOG 103

THIS VIDEO
This ongoing Video Diary by myself John Neal, sometimes known as John Longcroft-Neal, as the whim takes me.
TODAY’S SUBJECT IS: VLOG 103 The weather has picked up and as Spring approaches I decide to revamp my garden path with house bricks.
GENERAL STUFF
I am retired from two careers of primary school teaching when I was deputy head of a Middle School and Primary School, and as a self employed Chalkboard Artist from 2002 until I reached the grand old age of 65 in 2016.
I play guitar and write songs and have written about 14 songs for the local BBC radio station. I run a weekly (weakly) evening Acoustic session at a local pub and have been doing so for 14 years now. I also started an afternoon acoustic session in a quite large cafe in Nuneaton. Both premises were former songwriting clients of mine.
Much of the music I use on this channel is taken from epidemicsound.com free to use on KZbin for a reasonable monthly fee, and sometimes I suffer you with my own music.
Gear that I use:
Mavic Mini Drone.
Iphone X for camera, generally front facing so I can see myself in frame. Super quality especially if I keep the lens clean.
Gimble is a Q2 Smooth by Zhiyun, I ought to use this more often because it was expensive.
Canon G7mk2
Rhode videomicro mic with iPhone (if necessary in the wind)
Rhode videomic to do voice over on computer
Video editing with Final Cut Pro X
Polarduck Mini Tripod for mobile phone. This is so good and under £10.00 I bought two.
Small Gorilla tripod but I tend to prefer the Polarduck.
Tall Tripod is a Velbon CX 540
Mono pod is a Manfrotto Compact MMC3-02 and is very useful for getting high angles that look like low flight drone shots and so easy to carry on my bike along with the mini tripod.
My Soundcloud channel is / tracks .

Money from ARTWORK SOLD will go to the MONA FOUNDATION

I am a follower of the Bahá'i Faith and some of my philosophical ideas may show through in comments that I make, but, by and large, I’ll not make direct reference to my beliefs.

I also enjoy gardening but lay no claims to have any expertise, and you might catch me out in the countryside of Warwickshire and nearby Leicestershire on a walk with my wife or on a bike ride.
Please comment below to inform further plans for my vlogs. I’d love to hear from you. If you don’t you will just get whatever bubbly ideas float to the surface of my slightly muddled elderly mind.

Great job, John! I wonder how much it would have cost if you had hired a contractor to do it.

[@Pharos234]

Nicely done. Now we want a How-To video on Margaret's Lemon Cake!

[@JRLNeal]

Watch this space

Ah to be in England now spring is here. Daffodils, catkins and crocuses, so nice. March 1st was the first day of our Autumn. Really nice weather, sunny and about 26C. There is a council cleanup next week so have been going through the garage sorting out up to 50 years of memorabilia. Lots of old slides going to the tip from world travels in the 70s as colours have faded. Great job with your path young fella.

[@JRLNeal]

Yes spring. I always manage to fill the skip. Quite therapeutic really.

[@martynlejeune5191]

Very professional. Well done 👍

[@JRLNeal]

Thanks

Looks very good John. Can remember you building the work shop. Think the star of the Vlog was the Lemon Drizzle cake 😂😂

[@JRLNeal]

Thanks Mike.

[@mjmals82]

It’s Marc, not sure if my dad has seen this yet?

[@soolee8637]

Love your videos John! My 12 year old son commented "I wonder if he knows that he inspired a boy in America" He put away his Ipad and started chalkboard art because of you. Thank you!

[@JRLNeal]

Really? That’s good news. Where in USA?

[@89dougc]

Path looks great. Very well done.

[@JRLNeal]
