Episode Date: February 3, 2023

Fly Tipper. It's just after lunch on 3rd February 2023 and Richard is upset by what people have put at the edge of his beautiful field. Who would just chuck stuff around willy nilly like that? Today y...ou will find out about the beautiful reminders that stones leave of themselves when they are taken from the field and how you can make more stones out of them. Plus requests for 24 hr a day stone clearing fall on deaf ears. Hopefully Wolfie is OK, but you also get quite a vivid description of one or her movements.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Stone Clearing, with Richard Heaven. Yeah man, come here. What are you jumping around for? Give me some advice. Here you go. Alright, here we go. Hello my fan friends. Oh, got a trail of dog poo bags coming out of my pocket. Put them away. I forgot to look at what number we're on.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Let's do that now. You can wait, right? The Posts. Will be way up in a little while anyway. It's 100 and chapter 100. Will be 135. Chapter 135. We are, it's 1323, on the 3rd of February, 2023. Just heading up Duckett's Passage now. The Weather's Clement.
Starting point is 00:01:57 And, uh, walks just on a wee. This guy's overcast. There's a dog in the house to the left. Right here that does not like walking on. Sorry to the left. We're coming up upon a bit of fly tipping. I'm not very happy about, you know, people. Walk with me. People should respect the station, should respect the fields. And, uh, I did not think it is appropriate to use the field to dump things that are not stones.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I'm going to take a photo of it so you can see it. Good. Will be. Dropped my phone. Think it's still running. That's inappropriate behavior. Pretty selfish behavior. There's a shopping basket there. It's perfectly good. You could use that at Tesco's or other supermarkets are available. Anyway, I thought there was someone on the field.
Starting point is 00:03:03 You could hear a voice shouting, but no, it's just the owner of that dog. And let's get something for the alphanomage again. An easily forgotten thing as you get more entrenched in stone clearing and think, you know, at all, you must thank the gods that made this all possible as you enter and as you leave. There are no rules to stone clearing. That's actually the first rule. That's done to me. Second rule.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Oh, plenty. Dropped my battery pack and just left it on the ground. We found it. That's your part. We'll be pulling the lead. You're going to say, sorry, you're just going to carry on. Second rule. Always respect the alphanomage of gods.
Starting point is 00:03:49 And third rule. Always respect the dishes that stop Brexit if you have one. Most people don't have them. Always a lovely russet stone there. Just picked out and thrown that where it belongs. Not like a table and chair and a shopping basket from a supermarket. They do not belong out here. At least you put them on the edge, which is something so I don't have to clear them off.
Starting point is 00:04:13 The wood things doesn't matter as it will go. The metal eventually will rust and nothing. The plastic will degrade in hundreds of thousands of years. It's just the... Bald disrespect. No disrespect to bald people. I'm thinking you're better than me when you're not. Clearing some nice stones here.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Sorry, it's been a little while since the last one. I did promise to do a stone clear every day of the year. I've pretty much stuck to that. This is the third one this year. It's only February the third. That's three in three days. There are too many stones here to clear, actually. Headphones just feel a bit empty, but I think we're still rolling.
Starting point is 00:05:08 We're going to risk it whilst we're rolling. That's battery battery. Maybe I shouldn't bother with it. I don't want to run out of battery. Up we go. This intermediate chapter. Do not listen if you're new to the stone clear. Go back to the beginning, please.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I know a lot of people. I'll skip to the latest chapter then. I'll be up to date. That's not the case. I'm not going to go back over old stuff. Every one of these is new and different. In parts, new wisdom. Just picking up some stones.
Starting point is 00:05:49 A knife blade. I'm not going to pick it up there. Wolfie chasing after the Throne Stones. Get yourself a wolf dog. That's an important part of your equipment, of course. We've covered that before. I wouldn't ever mention it again. So yeah, so important chapter one, three, four,
Starting point is 00:06:17 whether it is one, three, five, whatever it was. We're getting into only a 60 or so chapters till we hit the hard stuff, by which I mean difficult stone clearing. Techniques not drinking whiskey. There's a bit of ribaldry there. Just fun. This is just going to be a shortish podcast today.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Rare lunchtime stone clear as well. Don't often do those. It does impact the position. The sun is different, of course. Stone stars are probably a bit full of food. As am I, I've just had a bacon bagel. Made myself. I didn't make the bagel myself.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And some fruit. And I now feel a bit bloated. My advice would be don't eat before. It's the opposite of going to a supermarket. With a supermarket, eat before you go. Don't stop when you need to eat. When you're stone clearing, don't eat before you start stone clearing. Because you prefer the idea of just having a sleep.
Starting point is 00:07:25 When you've got a full belly, your instincts are not kicking in for you to be hunting and gathering, which is this is all part of. Also, you might be sick. So I've done it wrong in order to teach you a lesson. Don't copy everything I do. Don't just say, I'll copy everything Rich does. Then I'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:07:50 No, sometimes I'll do things deliberately wrong in order to give you a lesson. And the lesson here is don't. I just, you know, I forgot it was my turn to walk the dog. If the truth be told. Some of the grass there pressed down to reveal lots of stones and straw like grass has been knocked back by someone. There's a lot of stones underneath there.
Starting point is 00:08:15 So well done to me. Wolfie just doing a poo. I think it could be called that. I was going to pick it up, but I don't think it's. Oh, Wolfie, what happened? What did you eat? My goodness. It's not yet.
Starting point is 00:08:33 It's running out of like so much dog gravy. They will not be tempted to pick that up. Knuckly. It's off the edge of the field. No one will step in it. And they'll pretty quickly seep into the ground. I have to tell you. It was another pleasant sight.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Now worried a little bit about Wolfie's health. What she could have eaten. She eats mice and stuff out. She catches mice. She's a stone dog trained to collect stones, but yeah. Come on, darling. We're only going to go around just the small circle today. Unless you know you've done your disgusting poo.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Well, no wonder she was out in the garden when I picked her up. So obviously she's been calling to get out because her guts turned to liquid. Come on, Wolfie. She's very perky though. She's fine. It's just if you are a dog and you will eat any old shit literally that comes with you come across. Every now and again, you're going to get the script. That's advice for dogs there, which isn't even part of my remit.
Starting point is 00:09:40 That's how good a person I am. Using my boot here to kick up a nice stone. That's the biggest of the day. Haven't been any big ones today. And that walks the dink. The medium small. It's just quite a big one there. Just right in the middle of the path.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Don't want to go in the holly bush particularly. So let's see if you can get these into the roots of a tree. In my hand going battle between stone and wood. So far the wood. Standing tall. Soon the stone shall overcome. That's the small one, the big one going in. That tree.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Oh. Oh yeah, it's fine. Thought it would bounce past, but it's just caught one final. There's a tree with like loads of, like I say branches coming out of the ground. Trunks coming out of the ground. Looks like they haven't bothered with the trunk and it's just a load of branches growing out of the ground. Have you seen a tree like that before? I might not have.
Starting point is 00:10:40 It's never struck me and told just now. Looks like something from a science fiction film where some unknown entity has grown throughout the ship. Spread its tendrils. That's a tree in it. It's basically a tree. I thought all this time, why were we scared? It was a tree. Cool.
Starting point is 00:10:59 So it's sounding a bit unfit. I've actually been, it's very important to stay fit when you're just down there. I've actually been personal training today and done. It might be why I'm tired. With some weights and some rowing. Pretty, some planks. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're going to get down the old gym. They'll tell you all about it.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And so maybe just a bit tired from that. Problem with exercising is it just makes you tired, doesn't it? So then you have to go and do something. You can't do it because you're tired out. So don't exercise, but be well, you know, say that if you're stonkering enough, you don't need to exercise. I only go to personal training as a cover to make it look like I'm not already supremely fit. Underneath this Norface jacket, Norface. It's the acceptor face of racism.
Starting point is 00:12:01 My body is toned. Beautiful. I can't again, I don't reveal that in facts because any female stone clears out on the field. And we have to let that happen now, guys. That's the political correctness has dictated. We don't want all gay, gay men ones. Actually, the stonkering community has always been very accepting of the gay community, in spite of, I think, some of the things I've said in previous episodes.
Starting point is 00:12:34 In fact, a lot of people believed stonkering was just started by some gay guys looking for an excuse to be out in a field away from prying eyes, which may be where the stone stars began, but some people just don't like that, they don't like other people having fun and excluding them. Because they're not pretty enough to be in the stonkering area, which I am. So anyway, you don't be too sexually attractive out here. I constantly ask the many young female and young gay men fans of this podcast, to not send in naked pictures and pictures in glamour to herring967majumail.com
Starting point is 00:13:20 and constantly they keep coming. So please stop doing that. It's not what stonkering is for. It is sexy. Yes, it's undeniably a sexy pursuit. Undeniably, however hard you'll try to tamp down those desires, they will come to the fore, but that is not what I'm here for. I'm not here for your sexual pleasure, so stop it.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I'm glad it's just a short one today because I think you've said everything there is about stones to say. Oh, we're coming up to a very second part of the field here as we cross to the main can. I've already got a flat stone that would be medium if it was not just so flat. And I picked up a medium, small and a little conquer sized, conquering its shell size without the spikes stone. There's only three on the cross today, but three more than would have gone off if I hadn't been here. That's what we always have to think of. However tired you may be out of a full of bacon sandwiches you are.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Just do what you can out here to get this endeavor finally completed. Then we can move on. Heading down the hill now. Heading down to the ditch to stop Brexit. I picked up one of those stones and brought it back onto the field. The conquer one actually. Thanks, Wolfs. That was very helpful of you, but the reason I put it off the field is I wanted to leave it. She thinks it's a game.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Or is that what she wants me to think she thinks? I can't tell you. From now on I am going to be doing these daily for the rest of the year. Sorry for the slight, just had her life as throwing up some other stuff I needed to do. I had to have a bath. That's it so far for 2023. Not much work coming in, but that's good. The less work I have in my pretend job, the more time I can spend out here. You'd think that would mean I would easily have done the daily podcast, but it's just not as easy as you think.
Starting point is 00:15:48 You seem to be assuming. I do appreciate all your many emails and I do appreciate the many, many hundreds of thousands of people who download this podcast. All over the world. If you add up all of the podcast things that have ever been in the last five, six years. Probably hundreds of thousands, at least thousands. No one tell you that stone clearing is not worth doing, because it is. I've just found another stone. It's made of lovely, the ground is sort of soft, but firm.
Starting point is 00:16:26 And it's left behind just a beautiful indentation of itself. And that is one of the things about stones that I like, especially if the ground is of the right conditions. They leave an image of themselves in the ground even once you've taken them away, unless the one that's just gathered on the top. Which they don't. But this one's left a perfect car. You could go there with some plaster of Paris and make a really good representation of the bottom half of that stone if you wanted to. That's one of the beauties of that. I might come back and do that later.
Starting point is 00:16:56 That is just creating more, more stones to remove, of course. You might want to think about not doing that. All right, just picking up a pop of this. We're right back already. We're back to where I dropped my battery pack. Almost. And back to the Alpha and Omega Kin. Oh, that's a nice. Is that a beetroot?
Starting point is 00:17:13 Average days are over. The beetroots have come and gone. Yeah, if you've been listening for a while, you'll know what I'm talking about. Probably got a t-shirt of that somewhere. The big fat, the real fans of the podcast. But anyway. Do keep those emails coming in. I'm just putting the, say, you know, the non-dirty ones.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Get hundreds and hundreds of emails a day. Sorry if you've sent one in and I've been unable to read it out. Just, you know, you have to understand the podcast and has to mainly about stone clearing constantly all me answering queries. Looking at the emails. Come on. Just having a look through the emails and fly tipper. Open gate. Open gate.
Starting point is 00:18:19 It's been in touch. I think that's a nickname fly tipper. But there is typical. Maybe not. Maybe it's typical. Like open gate. You know, some probably from Scotland. Hi, Rich.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Really looking forward to the daily podcast threat 2023. Sorry about that. Macopin gate. To be honest, this is the flight tipper talking. I don't think 365 podcasts. I'd like to see three podcasts a day, possibly. So this is from January. So can you do three a day?
Starting point is 00:19:15 At least. Or just a 24 hour fee. I mean, I have to sleep fly tipper. Open gate. I can sleep on the field and you can listen to me doing that. That's your thing. I don't know how I stand clear of sleeps. I suppose that is part of the job.
Starting point is 00:19:33 You do need to sleep. But yeah, I have to. I'm obviously out there for that amount of time, but I feel like once this is very helpful for other. Don't lose. It's not helpful for my story. This is me being instructive. I'm not doing the kind of volume of stone.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I would do when I'm just out on my own without the recording equipment, the fine recording equipment I have. So something so selfish. Think of the stones and let yourself fly tipper. You remind me of fly tippers. Maybe that's how you got the big name. That you're quite selfish and don't think about other people. I don't want to use a listener,
Starting point is 00:20:13 especially if somebody wants to. And they say, I'm willing to pay a thousand pounds an episode. I mean, if you'd said that in the beginning of the email, I would have been so down on the idea that now I've made my bed and I have to on the field and I have to lie. Very quick podcast today. So you haven't satisfied with your walk. Still going.
Starting point is 00:20:39 I've got a key somewhere. Where did I put it? Lost it in the great. Dropping everything everywhere. Right. Well, that's it. 20 minutes of gold. I think you'll admit.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Don't be like fly tipper. And don't be a fly tipper. I'm sure flight if it isn't a flight. I said, I think they've got the name due to their selfishness rather than the flight. The only thing you should be fly tipping is stones from on a field to off a field. And that's the message I really want to bring home today.
Starting point is 00:21:18 This isn't sponsored by the government or anything. But don't just put stuff that isn't stones in the bin. That simple. Right. Thanks for listening. Enjoy your stones clearing and each other. Goodbye. Listen to the stone. Listen to the stone.
Starting point is 00:22:05 And they, in turn, are living to you, my friend, my fine friend. Stone clearing with Richard Herring and Wolfie the dog. Stard me, Richard Herring and Wolfie the dog and that other dog that was barking a lot. Wolfie's dire ear.
Starting point is 00:22:26 I'm not trying to shame you, Wolfie. She's sitting right beside me. I don't think it was anywhere else, isn't it? Was there? Thanks for all the emails. And thank you to Fly Tip MacOpen Door. Sorry if I was rude to you during the broadcast. The music is my bike.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Cough craze. The voice of the baton. It's my coffee. Stone's my friend. And they foul thing. Yeah, Mary does. Don't listen to the birth and truth. Don't listen to your underhand.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Listen to the stone. Listen to the stone. And they, in turn, are living to you, my friend, my fine friend.
