The cleverness of Anglo-Saxon folklore is subtle at times, yet bold at others. The first story gives me the impression that if you memorize something, then you have it. Any of the children that memorized it, received the book. 😁

A+ grade quality all the way through, Evelyn! Your a wonderful ambassador for history - your storytelling and the video & drone footage are exceptional. I must say though... my favourite bit is..... you face when you say hemorrhoids... 🤣 It's like you turned into an 8-year old kid and just learned a cheeky word. It made me laugh so much that I clicked the back button multiple times to watch your facial expression. But seriously, we're so lucky that you create such beautiful work and share it with us all. 😊

The lushness of the gardens after you give the intro make me think of the intro to "The Masters" golf tournament with its bucolic gentleness. Niiiiiice. Wait...a four-year-old...memorizing all that? Brilliance. And a wonderful philosophy that stemmed from it. It's hard to pay attention to all your points about his traveling music...because the drone footage is so awesome! Great problem to have. Wonderful story about the loaves! What an innovator. Do you know why the tower was triangular? Was it something about his own journey? Was it trinitarian in motivation?

The Starting point would appear to be Stourhead Gardens, Stourton, Wiltshire would love to know the exact route taken with some place names included. Lovely video and enthusiastic commentary.

There are many trails up to the Tower. Anything from 1/4 mile to 9+ miles. The one I specifically took starts at the old water wheel where I begin talking about Alfred. The route is well marked all the way up to the tower. 🙂 Thank you so much for watching!! So glad you enjoyed!

It’s been closed for a very long time since a bit pre-Covid. You used Uk be able to climb to the top.

What do you mean "It will be easier to plunder France " ? That hurts my little french heart... :-)) Well, it turns out that they liked it there, and finally settled in Normandy. I guess they like the cider and Calvados ! Anyway, great images and stories !

Uh oh! Don’t know quite what you are talking about Jeff. The sound appear to be working when I play it back on multiple devices on my end. Sorry it’s not working for you!
