Stone Clearing With Richard Herring - Chapter 149

Episode Date: September 29, 2023

Chapter 149: The Alfred Jewel. It's 8.22am on 29th September 2023 and the daily stone clearing podcasts continue. The sky is grey and the ground is damp and it should be perfect stone clearing conditions, but a sudden influx of FF working in a pincer movement prove disruptive and potentially fatal. Richard still manages to clear a Hermione handful of stones though and provides wisdom about how far you can throw a small stone in blustery conditions, plus alludes to the work of Jefuf and encourages you to give up your jobs to join him in his life of stones.

Stone clearing with Richard Herring. I'm going to do in my way, what a mess. Anyway, my final friends, that's what my son thinks, to be saying, my family friends, welcome to chapter 1.9, so close to halfway through this intermediate stage. It's the 29th of September I think. It's the 818 approximately. It's been raining but it's not raining now. The conditions out on the station should be almost perfect. A little dirty. For those who don't like to get your fingers dirty, I would suggest a stone gluing isn't really. There's an occupation of hazard really. Especially if you put your finger in duck shit.

Whoa, little squirrel scamp, pretty close to the top of fence there. Nature, rare, in 2th and 1st floor, that's sometimes just fluffy and running around with its claws. Hold on, the stuff, that's what Darwin didn't mention. Sometimes it's just quite nice, isn't it? We are passing the duckage passage and there's more work being done at this house. They've bought the daughter garage, they've been there having the roof done they've got a new fence they've got a little bit of spare cash these guys why not well if you've got it flaunted we're coming up thanks for sticking with these daily by the way I can't believe the download figures are astonishing in the millions as far as I can. That's what I'm told

Every day people coming back to hear the next I think it's a bit boring to be honest. I thought that this will never take off But shit Someone with a duck It's almost We're gonna have to not do the alpha-nomical can, which is that to give a double donation. Come on, come on. And we just don't start see right behind this, so we have to put a radio silence, hopefully she'll take off the field, but if she follows me, the big trouble, there are grouse.

I mean, if you come around, come on, there are grouse on my field. I can't pass in the ditch to stop Brexit, I can't put the stone in. This is brilliant work from the Stone Stasi, not such as a young woman as well. And fresh blood for the Stone Sturzy. I think they have gotten to social media. And they are. They are. They are on a right wing. Come on, hold me this way. So, yes, well this is an octacum hazard as well, has the dirt. Now I'm wishing I had dirty fingers. Well, I've got to be very quiet, she's very kick. This is a very coming to you. It's very exciting. Could be my demise of course. I slip up here. Just got to have normal. This

is very much the Gordon Jackson getting on the bus in the great escape moment. One slip up and me in 57 clearance of any shot in a field. Right, Wolf, good girl. She's looking for some way to poo I think. Could be a good distraction. We're going to take her. Oh no, how have they done this stuff? We'll take a left, but there's stone stars coming the right for us.

Dog off the lead, bounding towards Walfee. And looking a bit retent. We'll take a little. It's alright, Mwony. Alright, so here we'll be. Good go. Good go. And I think I've done it. I think I've shaken them off with a brilliant chip chest, I mean that was fantastic work from the Stone Star, they have to say.

The second Stone Star is again female, I mean this is a worrying development, I don't know, the loader than the first one, but still very attractive. Could seduce a vulnerable stone clear and lonely stone. And there's a fucking another one that's going on. And the sun's a guy. Is he got a dog even? The guy strides towards me. It looks like he's holding a gun in his hand.

Might be a doglet. A wolf is pooping. I've got an excuse to stay over here. Turned away, it's turned back. Perhaps intimidated by seeing such an amazing stone glider. I've not one stone clad yet because I haven't even, there's been eyes on me all the way. I mean I hope we're getting all this, we're terrible if this wasn't recording, it is recording. Only six minutes in three stone stasie, I mean this is more stone stasie than we've seen in a month of Sunday's, don't clear it out here, they've allowed me into false sense of security, this guy's

turned around and he's gone, he's taken his gun, maybe it's a dog lead, he knows, and uh, Disappeared. Maybe he's a stone clearer. You can get right off my field. There are no rules to stonecaring. That's actually rule one. If I mention that. Rule two, you must only, you must never clear stones in another stone clear as field. That is sacrosanct. Punshable by death. I've done quite a lot myself, but I think there are no rules and I don't think the rules there are, do apply to me. After all this fucking work I've done with the stone clearing. So fuck you, stone clearing council. If you think you can execute me, you have to catch me first.

I've got a stone, I've got my first stone. It looks like a pipe has gone through it. It's a hollow bit in the middle. Maybe one day, what years ago, when it was complete, a stone age man would use it as a rudimentary straw. But he would have had to get his lips around quite a chunky stone in order to do that. Don't know what creates these little rivulets in a stone, maybe a fossil of some kind. Don't give a fuck, it's coming off, it's going on the can, opposite the main can.

And yeah, I mean, I'm a little bit bamboo, so we've gone a different direction than usual which is probably been probably been picked up a nice caramel, a small size of a little hole in it as well, it's about the size of the King Alfred Jewel, if that's a reference you understand, I was discovered this near, near Cheddar somewhere in some sense Alfred caused me to be made Alfred feck it, something like that says on it, look it up, he's about that size, I imagine I don't have never seen the real thing, I'm just guessing from pictures I've seen, so the so might be a bit smaller than the King Alfred Jule. I've got the dimensions here and I've put the stone down there so I can't even even have the dimensions and the ruler I can really.

I think there's a couple of minutes of shrapnel that just in the path and we're near enough to the edge now to oh that was a wayward throw. A tiny stone and actually the tiny stones are hard to throw from a distance of course it would be easier but when you throw them I guess they get puffed by the wind and that fly through the air quite quickly and the nearer of those stones made their target have to say but they're a bit closer to the edge but I run yes like we cleared because they're now in the fields

which was soon we plowed that it's growing me as a new crop. They're doing two crops this year, I don't get it. I've never seen them like some kind of pea or maybe I don't know what this is that's growing here, it's got flowering green leaves. That should probably, if you're a farming probe, you probably know what I'm talking about, or white flowers. It will become apparent, I guess, what that is down the line. I'll take a photo. One of you can tell me what it is. Hopefully, I just paused there. Hopefully, just as I was taking the thing out of my pocket.

I hope I've lost too much because it won't make much sense why I took that photo if that bit hasn't survived. I think it's alright because it's about 6 minutes and I was going that way. I think we've probably got it, but yeah, I was just expecting to make something like this new crop, maybe. Green leaves, white flowers, what you work in it. I just go to the landing time. It's going to be pretty good once in a day, partly because we've been sent in odd directions, also have to get back to my personal training session session and it's

very important of course to stick to fix as a stone clear what if I had a massive find a massive stone as big as my rather large head I have to clear that if I haven't built up the bulk to lift it that stone will stay there for eternity, it could be the finger head literally. It's the statue on top of the wall. And that's finally here. I mean, it's the wall is, you know, I mean, after what are we going to do in five years now? It's not as evident as I would have expected after five years of clearing stones. But you know, it's bigger than it once was and smaller than it'll be. That's not unusual. Hope you heard all the after-jewel stuff.

But here's something to be ashamed to miss that. I was the highlight of this week's lesson. This is today's lesson. If you missed that, that was the highlight of this week's lesson. This is today's lesson. Very, very, look, we're doing so many of these. We don't know, they don't all need to be two hours long, like they mainly are. They're going into extreme detail. We're nearly halfway through, very nearly halfway through.

And it's intermediate stage. It won't be long now, mean I would say maximum two years before we get to difficult. We get to expert level I picked up sort of flat bit of slate that's going on to the main can which doesn't seem to be growing at all. I'm just like a feather in the pole above that. Just going to kick another little stone on to this nearby. Just that's onto the the lower swipes of the hill. Is that can. Yeah I mean no it's easy to get downhearted it's easy to look at these cans and think why they're not bigger

why is this why is the wall I'm creating not evident why they're still stones on the field why is Wolfie stiff in some undergrowth there what's going on there but don't become downhearted is what I would say. I would say. Come on, I wouldn't even wish you didn't know the power of we. It's very sweet heart. Do you do you we? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought you were just messing around. Don't become downhearted like I am a little bit downhearted about it just as I think about it now. Don't start to wonder how am I wasting my life. I don't start to wonder is everything I do in my life

always to time when I think about it. It'll be no record of any of this. Don't start to think maybe the job I'm doing is just a waste of this precious few days and hours and seconds that I get on this planet that if in existence is impossible amazing slice of chance that's led to you living breathing having conscience understanding even a tiny part of what's going on in the world. Let's go to work for someone else for 15 pounds an hour if we're lucky. You know, I mean, you're not there, you're not clearing stones, so unless that's your job, which is, you know, well done, if it's your job, well done. So, you know, you're already not doing the most importantly you can be doing with your time. I would say give up that job, move to the countryside, live in a tent, and find

their stony feel that no one else is clearing, get it cleared. You can put in 12 hours a day there, do the bees have jobs? I mean, they sort of do. Do the birds have jobs? Not really. The flowers need to go to work. No, they just grow don't they? The same will be true of you my friend. My picked up the biggest stone of the day. It's sort of equivalent to my middle finger in length but which is always quite short. But not chunky, it looks a bit like the venus of woolen doff. I don't know how big that actually is, so I'm not using that as a size reference, just saying it's got a head on it, sort of a one boob. It looks like it would have had a

size of a last if the back end of it hadn't been sliced off and that's going in the ditch to stop Brexit, so even though we didn't get here the first time we got here the second time so that's something and a little bit of dirt on my fingers not as dirt as I anticipated. When you finger the earth you expect to come away soiled. It's uh I'll need to run my hand under a tap, I'm not saying it's clean. Just doing a mini hassle, I'm just looking for something suitable to make up to the Afro-Nomagy Gods. That's not good, I thought that was a big one. It's a lot of little ones. Maybe that will sweep the maybe this. Oh, I'm only wearing trainers in the ground. It's sudden.

And the Alfred Oberghikern, of course, flattened. But I don't see it now as a bad thing. I see it's like someone's extended the base to say let's make this thing bigger Let's rebuild it's build again. Let's build a bear Good Back down duck is passage That's good, it's all recording. Almost. Right, back down to duckers passage. I just got my phone out and they're looking at the many emails that have come in from the thousands, millions of listeners, thank you for listening. Do keep emailing in again,

and remind them not to send new photos, getting a lot of those mainly from mainly in their 50s, has to be said, which if I did want new photos that will be the last people I would want to move out if I don't want new photos. Let's have a look at it. Hi this is just looking for the name on the email, usually at the top of the other it is. The name is Rusty Nagel Small Branch. Rusty Nagel Small Branch, maybe nicknames.

HiRit, thanks for keeping these going every day. I live in a terrible place and work like £5-15 an hour. I dream of having the life you have for you guys and clear steps. They're free and just live off the landy in Blackberries, which are middle-years. They're very short period of time, but you can probably move on to Concos at this stage, then just twigs. You know, I envy that life you have. How would you, if you were in my position working in 95 just in the city, 15 pounds an hour

and an amazing 50 pounds an hour for your bank? Good way. How would you give it all up? Get out there in the countryside. I will have told you in this podcast so you've got the chance to ask questions. A poorly timed question. Just get out there. Have a get a tent.

Got to work for another. Robby. Get out. Work for another... Robby! Look out! Work for another... Robby, I'm going to let you road you fucking idiot. Um, there's cars coming in, there's cars that come in for the other direction. Save up like dude, a day's work. One more day, use the money from that to buy a tent.

And um, put a tent, hit chite to the tent just by a fireball. by attempt and hit check to attempt to start final for all. I think that brings a fair and season. Conquer is a fair and season. You know, just you could beg by the side of the road. Scratch. And just do it. And you won't regret singles, but if you've got a family leave them behind, if you don't need them anymore, you've got a great single

day of Contelli. Because you'll be finally doing something to your life, something that pleases the gods and that afterlife will get for this higher half to tell you. I can't tell you what it is exactly right now but we yeah it's going to be worth it. It's a secret what it is but it's going to be worth it. That's what they told me. That's what I'm telling you. Woofie coming. Right that's it for 1.4 night But it's been a good podcast even if a lot of it didn't get recorded so We'll see you tomorrow course for another one You know after this little mall
