Stone Clearing With Richard Herring - Chapter 114

Episode Date: February 13, 2022

Chapter 114 - Pink! It's just before midday on 13th February 2022 and after a week amongst the stones of Wales, Richard is back where he belongs, watching a dog poo in a bush. There's a spooky encount...er with a goblin baby and the domination of an unusual hue, plus more stone clearing advice for the intermediate stone clearer who probably doesn't yet hear the beautiful voices of the stones.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Stone clearing with Richard Herring I think you can learn. You'll be in the kitchen, I like you. Where's your thing? There we go, we're all right. You okay? But I'm not the door first, Wolfie. So you can go check out of it.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Don't you even know that yet? I do. All right, come on, girl. Who's a good girl? You are. Don't shake your head. You're the best. Oh, my stars.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Well, hello, my finest friends. Flag-hag. Welcome to chapter one, one-four of Photone Clearing with Richard Herring. If this is your first chapter, please go back to the beginning and start again. Um... Good girl, here we go.
Starting point is 00:01:25 It's the 13th of February. It's 11.56. I just want to check my recording is still going because my watch is no. No, it's fine. And, uh... Yeah, it's been a little while again, not quite a month, a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Uh... There's been COVID in the house. The dog's been looked after, I swear. It's been difficult to get out. A few stone clearing. Obviously. That's not as much as I'd like. And, uh, no chapters for you, my fine friends,
Starting point is 00:02:00 but we're making up for that now. We have chapter one, one-four, 114 chapters, plus a Fomertime Special. A few, uh... Go back and listen to them again. A few have listened to them once. A few lost stone clears. A few live stone clears.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Quite a few of those, actually. It's been quite the adventure. And, uh... Although it may be nearing its end, I've nearly cleared all the stones, I would say. Um... There's still a little way to go before I've built a wall
Starting point is 00:02:34 visible from space around this 25 hectare field. I think it is. Anyway, we're up. We're coming up to the station to go captain in case there's any photography waiting on the top here. Drilled by now.
Starting point is 00:02:50 We just have to be careful. It's a big pink bucket. Where did that appear from? I don't know. A couple of photons picked up already on the path, and that's not 100% legal, but there are no rules to stone clearing.
Starting point is 00:03:10 That's the first rule. The second rule is you cannot bring the stones onto the fields from elsewhere, which I suppose is the way I've just done. I'm going to move the risker off the lead. Ah, there's some leaves here. I thought there were some big stones,
Starting point is 00:03:26 but there's more leaves. Brown leaves, brown as the stones, as we head into spring. And the crop, whatever it is, just it looks like grass at the moment. There might just be some grass. About the level of a slightly poorly manicured lawn.
Starting point is 00:03:42 This is just going to be a quick clear today. It's like a birthday weekend for my human daughter. And we're going to have family lunch. Wolfie's dying this stone. I picked up a caramel stone roughly the shape of a Y
Starting point is 00:04:00 with the top bit filled in. And Y is a good question. Why are we doing this, Wolfie? Because it's there. And we want it over there. That's why we're doing it. It's quite good, isn't it? That's quite good.
Starting point is 00:04:16 I've actually been there improvising all week long. It's been out in Wales. There's some stones in that. To that country, I can tell you, if you want to find some stones, go to Wales. It's where they got a stone hen from.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Apparently, they cleared those stones. Right through it to Wiltshire. So I've been talking away 19 to the dozen down the pub with his mates. So I've just been listening to decomposing composers by Monty Python. Sadly, they haven't had
Starting point is 00:04:48 that song for maybe 30 years. All the words and some of the dates of the composer. Oh, I just threw a nice bit of flint there that broke apart on hitting the pile of stones. Always satisfying when that happens.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Split into sibling stones. Hopefully the wind is not affecting your enjoyment too much. Blowing in my ears a little bit and we're just popping out here just a mini Hasselhoff, not on the crops in any serious way. And actually a couple of big stones there
Starting point is 00:05:26 placed against the fence. One of my stones that I've thrown has landed. Stuck onto that pile. It's a supernatural way. That can happen. Stones can be magnetic. So yeah, we're still
Starting point is 00:05:44 on the intermediate level obviously. I would like to defer the part in the years we've been doing this. Some of you are slow to pick up. They admittedly quite complicated the basics of stone clearance. It's taken a lot of you longer than
Starting point is 00:06:00 I'd suspected to understand what's going on. Quite a lot of jeffax from this course. I'm looking out. The the station is full of stones. I'm still very much working around the edge. There's a bit of brick there.
Starting point is 00:06:16 It's off. Oh, there's a stone. See, it was very interesting in the stones. That was going into the brambles where many stones are formed before. Still the remnants of burnt gateposts from that time we had a fire.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I spent some instance at it. You wouldn't expect this much to happen. It's been packed with incident. I've got a little section of five stones all in a little clump. I'm going to keep them together. They're roughly together. They're off the field now.
Starting point is 00:06:52 It's five. Together. Probably made a small medium. Maybe a small large. Maybe a medium small. Maybe we should go back to describing the size of stones based on things you know what they are.
Starting point is 00:07:08 That seems to become the accepted method. Small mediums have gone off. Caramel. Caramel colours. I'm not talking about the stones enough. That's a lot of emails I've had through. Email from Chimney Pot
Starting point is 00:07:26 Shed. That might be a business. Shed that makes Chimney Pot. It might be a person. It's up into Middleton to a friend of mine the other day. That's a person. You might think some of these names are unusual
Starting point is 00:07:42 but it's you who needs to get with the times. You might be looking for somewhere to poo now if you're interested in that aspect. It's in the bushes. It suits me very fine. You can do that one. Nature takes its course there. Just check out
Starting point is 00:08:04 the lie of the land. Right in the middle of a plant. I'll put a couple of stones on top of it. That can be the start of a can. Only you and I will know what lies beneath until the archaeologists come to uncover the secret of the grandmaster. It's like an orange and black stone.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Looks like it's been burned by the naked hands. Which plant was it? Right in the middle of a plant. Now that plant is covered in stones. Everything's looking good. Trouser's slowly falling down. The belt I've got on today. It's from a different time when I was a
Starting point is 00:08:40 chunkier monkey. I've got a little bit more chunky than I was back in the autumn. Halfway back to where I was really. So I'm hoping I've been for a run today. Hoping I can ward off. Getting too fat for my suits.
Starting point is 00:09:00 But at the moment I'm too thin for this belt. So that's something. I'm going to sign this belt with it. It's a couple of stones that have gone through the fence into a garden. Which is never what you want to. Coming up to the can in the corner of the field. Wolfie's trying to foul me. I've got a stone for the can in the corner of the field.
Starting point is 00:09:18 It's not quite in the corner of the field as you'll know if you're raving with it. Might get Wolfs back on me. Lead now. She's pooped. Good poop, Wolfs. It's buried. It was out of the way anyway. Well done to you. That's the perfect oar.
Starting point is 00:09:38 It's a good choice of getting her on the lead because a couple of stones are daisy. I've tricked them. They're going in the wrong direction. Let's say they're very much on the ocean. Do have to watch out. Oh, and a nice little back hill there. I've got another stone off the field.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I'm trying to kick it. The kick isn't quite working. I don't know if there's footballing time for that. It wasn't really quite a back hill. It was a side hill from behind. And then just keeps another one off in a more traditional manner. We're not going up past the singing ringing tree today.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Sorry about that. Increasingly getting quite lazy of these walks. But time is pressing. Time's clock is pressing against us. Got a nice chunky
Starting point is 00:10:28 only slight. It's like an egg shape with a bit of bottom of egg in it. It would be a dinosaur egg if it was an egg. It might be a dinosaur egg. A little dinosaur inside it. That's going down into the base of a tree. Still haven't managed to knock any of these trees
Starting point is 00:10:44 down. That's more like whatever. There's quite a lot in that tree. I'll put some more in that one. And actually those stone stars turned around are looking directly at me. This could be it. Now if you discover this recording, please send it to
Starting point is 00:11:06 Orange Mark for uploading. I managed to kick the mother stone off there. I've got a baby. It's horrible to see a child being indoctrinated. It is even a real baby. It could just be trying to make me think they've got a baby. It's not facing
Starting point is 00:11:24 into the front. Come here. Gave me a weird look. And even it doesn't look like a real baby. I don't know what's going on there.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Come on darling. Good girl. Found a nice bit of pink stone there. Let's go down the can opposite the main can. Along with another bright cluster. We're heading on. That was very
Starting point is 00:12:06 mysterious. Pink baby. Pink bucket. Pink stone. That's what the universe is throwing at me today. If it was a baby. If it was alive. Could have been some kind of supernatural creature of course. The stone stars are well known
Starting point is 00:12:22 for employing moorlocks. Babies on horses. And they might just have some kind of goblin there that they're trying to hide from sight. It was still. Now usually if you've got a baby in a papuch thing. It faces out but doesn't see what's going on. That one was facing
Starting point is 00:12:40 the father or the man. Might not have been around a blood relative. Especially if it's a goblin. And I've got just an opportunity to chuck a few stones from, you know, five meters in. And they're all gone.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Oh, whoops. He jumped on my face. Excited. Are you excited darling? You're a good girl. What's up? You trying to tell me something girl? Oh, is it because your legs caught up here? You alright? You want to play with the stones, don't you? I've got your back on the lead. It's a good job I did because that goblin baby
Starting point is 00:13:14 could have got a crow sitting amongst the grass. I think it's a crow. Bit too far from the edge now but I'm going to try and get this one closer. Let's see what Wolfie does. She's going to run for it but she's going to come up against the forces of a
Starting point is 00:13:30 dog. And she hasn't jerked my out of it. I was ready for it. Windy. It's blustery today. It's grey. A little cold. Not totally inclement. No rain. And the ground firm. I'm picking up shingles from the top. There's a dog poo there.
Starting point is 00:13:48 There's... That's not a place to leave a dog poo. There's a pink. Looks like a frisbee sort of thing there. A lot of pink things. Out today. I don't know what it means. Pink. Maybe... I don't know. But I did see an email from the popstar pink in my folder. I haven't opened it yet.
Starting point is 00:14:04 So maybe... Maybe that's what it's leading to. It's not a colour you usually see out here. Green. Brown. Caramel. It's a dark grey. It's a drab world. But from the crops.
Starting point is 00:14:20 And just from crossing. Taking in... Now this is an important part. So I'm going to go in the middle. The vista. Of the stones that you are going to get later. To remember where they are. Become friendly with them. Know them by name. An appearance.
Starting point is 00:14:36 You don't necessarily want to start clearing these stones right away. Unless you see a real juicy one. There's one talking to me. Yeah. What do you want? You want to come off the field, do you? Okay. I'm taking this one. It's quite a long way from home. I miss... It's a weird thing to choose.
Starting point is 00:14:52 That one amongst all the many that are there. I think you heard from the thought I spoke to me there. How insistent it was. How I needed to get it off. There's a few here in the path I think I'll take. Because the path just suddenly gets a little... damp here. A few nice stones coming up.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I've got four. Ideally, I want to come across from here with at least six. They're not huge. But neither are they small. They're somewhere in the middle. We'll see if we can get a huge one. But it's their size as always. Not...
Starting point is 00:15:28 a determining factor. I don't think we're going to go and do a stone pole today. Even that's how I... after my abyss wall zero out of six last time. And that's a nice chunky medium. That's a medium small. That's the biggest of the lot for today's six. It's half a dozen.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Will they go on the main can? Will they go up and form part of the wall? I can't tell you yet. They will tell me where to put them. And when you're a master stone clearer, you might be saying, Rich, the stone's not talking to me at all. My poor lamb.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It'll come. It will come if you stone clear enough. The stones will talk to you. The animals will talk to you. The other people won't talk to you. It'll happen with those two. I'm just going to kick this one. There's a little one here I can kick.
Starting point is 00:16:16 And that's gone bump to right onto the wall. Actually going a little around the corner from the main can, which is developing into quite a a size around here, but not. They're all gone. Wolfie trying to help, but her dog paws
Starting point is 00:16:32 proving adequate six nice stones off the field. There's another one to add to that, and seven actually included one I kicked onto the wall. If anyone's in space at the moment, Tim Peake is up in space and is listening.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Drop me an email if you spot the wall. It's just there in Hertfordshire. Should be obvious. Biggest wall in Hertfordshire. The only one visible from space. Probably only that little bit of it at the moment to be fair, or maybe the bit of it.
Starting point is 00:17:04 So we're heading down the hill. Been just a little dipping our toe back into the fetted sea. It is the Stocean. It's a sea of regrets. It's a sea of cruel mistresses to see.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It's a sea of stones. Wolfie playing defence. I'm never quite sure if she's in there on my side or on the stars' side. That's why I like her though. Amber here, she makes an interesting character for the Maptiff. Will she be carrying on once I'm gone?
Starting point is 00:17:46 Or will I be carrying on once she's gone? Nobody knows yet. No one can see the future. Apart from Sybil, her companion. I've got a twitcher phone, which is amazing. Audio, or video. Wherever you get your audio or videos, or YouTube for the video.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Or Twitch. Watch it live on Twitch. You can see all the bits. So we cut out of the broadcast. The terrestrial broadcast. It's too hot to handle. I've got four little stones here, like tiny.
Starting point is 00:18:20 One of them is big as the other three. That's how small they are. And they're going to go in the ditch that's stopped Brexit. The ditch that sent Boris Johnson. The ditch you've got Dominic Cummings. Where they get Boris Johnson. I'm not so sure about that. It goes one, two, three.
Starting point is 00:18:42 A sarcastic amount of stones today. Maybe too many. And there's a nice one for the alphanolgacan. And a nice little one. Again, a nice little one with a little hue of pink. It's weird the way these little associations
Starting point is 00:18:58 that come up. Trying to tell the world it's trying to tell us something. This this pink motif. Could it be that I'm gay? Is that what the world is trying to tell me? I mean, I don't mind. I'm gay for stones.
Starting point is 00:19:16 If that's possible. If the stones want to form themselves into a rudimentary vaginal asshole. I'll have that up to your mouth. I will willingly. I'm a willing participant. If you're listening to things. But you have to form yourself into that.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I'm not going to start. I'm not reached the point where we're going to start doing that. Let's get out of my phone because I want to take a picture of the pink bucket. But also we'll see what emails have come in and see if there's any famous pop stars have been in touch. It does happen sometimes.
Starting point is 00:19:48 It all seems to have recorded okay. Let's see. Hopefully. Hopefully it's come true because I'd hate to think this had been lost. Just check my emails now and take a picture of the pink bucket. That will be there. The motif, I guess, if you wanted this. You'll have seen it already.
Starting point is 00:20:04 There's a pink bucket on the picture. It's quite useful for stone fairing. Actually, there's pink buckets. Let's have a look through the emails. There is an email from from Pink. Hi, it's me Pink with an exclamation mark.
Starting point is 00:20:20 The pop star from America. Let's get the party started. I'm joking. That's just one of my songs, I think. I think that's one of my songs. And other of my songs, there isn't time to mention them now. You probably know what they are anyway.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Do you want to try and guess one? No, I don't want to do pink. I do know them all, obviously. I don't want to say them. Anyway, why is the landscape that you place stones in so devoid of pink? Have you thought about getting some more pink stuff
Starting point is 00:20:54 in the podcast? Because I love pink. And that would attract people who like pink. Not necessarily girls, but often a lot of five or six-year-old girls like that. If you want to open up that demographic, which is something I think was interested in, I don't really want to
Starting point is 00:21:10 get five or six-year-old girls listening to me. I don't mind if they do, but I'm not actively seeking it out. As you know, there are no rules to stone fairing. Rule one, rule two, you have to be over 18 to click stone. You can listen to this podcast if you're five or six, but
Starting point is 00:21:28 I just worry you. I worry I'm dragging the wrong audience. Anyway, it's me, Pink, and I've put some pink things in the field to try and help you. I know where you are because I'm an international pop star and I'm able to use the private detectives
Starting point is 00:21:44 to try and get any information I want. I know where you live and I could have you killed if you don't put more pink things in your podcast. That turned a bit nasty there at the end from Pink. I'm glad you found the podcast, but I will not count
Starting point is 00:22:00 how the beautiful thing about stone clearing is there's no sponsors. Try to get them, but no one will sponsor it. Occasionally they have. I'm in control and you should know I'm prepared to die
Starting point is 00:22:18 in the service of stone clearing. So your threats do not scare me, Pink, Pink Harris and maybe you should have a look at yourself. Anyway, that's it for today. We're back home.
Starting point is 00:22:34 We're going to go out for a little family party. I wish I could be out there clearing stones rather than communing with humans and eating their human food, but the cover must be maintained. Thanks for listening. We'll be back hopefully with
Starting point is 00:22:50 more stone clearing, longer stone clearing. Take care of yourself and each other and your stones. Keep clearing stones. Good. Stone clearing with rich herring started me with rich herring and wolf with a dog. Plus that
Starting point is 00:23:26 dog. So I'm going to go out for a little bit and I'm going to go out for a little bit and I'm going to go out for a little bit and I'm going to go out for a little bit and I'm going to go out for a little bit and I'm going to go out for a little bit and I'm going to go out for a little bit
Starting point is 00:23:42 and I'm going to go out for a little bit and I'm going to go out for a little bit and thanks to my rich herring and wolf with a dog. Plus that cover with the possible goblin trial. The music is by Mike Coffray the voice of the Photonist is Michael Beheen. Listen to the birth and truth
Starting point is 00:24:20 Don't listen to your underhand Listen to the stone Listen to the stone and they
Starting point is 00:24:36 in turn will live to you my friend my fine friend
