Stone Clearing With Richard Herring - Chapter 94
Episode Date: April 15, 2021Chapter 94 - Vandalf. Richard is on his first official audio chapter since the stone gods decided to teach him a lesson about removing stones. It should be a happy occasion, but some person or force h...as gone out of their way to turn his world upside down. Trigger warning - those concerned about the welfare of stones should not liften. But this is worse than having cancer. And also very disrespectful to the memory of the original stone clearer Michael (RIP). We will overcome my friends. This is like when the pretend God tested Job. Obviously stone clearing is always serious, but this is a more serious one. Why hast thou forfaken me?

Stone Clearing with Richard Herring
Come on in sweetheart good girl
What? What are you wolfing at?
You crazy diamond
Alright we'll check this car Wolfie Harris
Watch out there's a car there don't run into the road
Hello Wolfie hold up
Dog's very excited today and I think you know why
It's her return to the station
She's been away
I've been away
But I'm back
And I'm full of crack
It's April 15th I haven't got my watch on
I'm gonna say it's about 8am
The sun is up it's shining
It's Chapter 94 my fan friends
We're coming up Duckett's Passage
Traveling deep into the medieval past
And it's good to be back
Not just for Wolfie for me too
He's pulling very keenly on this lead
I did a spreading time special
That was videoed last week but this is the first
This is a return to the chapters
We should be at over chapter 100 by now
That's the frustrating thing
But sometimes the real world impinges
Sometimes the stone gods
Send you a lesson about your stones
To remind you you're thinking too much
Of the non-stone world and not on the stone world
And they punish you
Or teach you a lesson
And then forgive you
And let you back
So if you saw the video episode or listened to it
You'll know that the field has been plowed
Just around the edge
The middle is full of grass
But we've got a sort of 3m strip
Around the edge which is a little bit like a stone
Christmas a stone used to
A lot of stones revealed
Taking a put on the alphanomage ones
More than I can really cope with
Just bodied a nice one
Hoping a little way out
Just a stone lying atop the soil
Bit of flint
Not sure when you chuck those
It nearly hurt myself
Some big bits of stone here
The music that they've been throwing
Back onto the field by someone else
Scattering of nice sized stones here
I don't remember seeing the other day
As they've been throwing off my can
And the can's still there I think
There's some more there
Someone's been chucking them back on
Could be
Could be
I mean there's more here than look like
Would be here naturally
And yes I don't really see where they would have
Particularly come from
I wouldn't have thought the farmer would appreciate
These huge lumps of stone
Just where they're about to drive machinery over
It's a bit weird
I mean this is very strange
I wonder what's going on
I can't see any of my cans
I've been particularly disturbed
That there's definitely a lot of
Big chunks of stone thrown on top of the soil
Is it all over?
I mean it's kind of people to come here
The can's on but
Gives me something else to do
I'll just do the poop
Good girl
Hold on girl
Hold up
That's got to go in my poop pocket more of a girl
That's a real wet one
Real wet one in long grass
Very hard to deal with
I've got as bad as I can
In circumstances
Right well I hope you're all well
I've got a poo in my pocket
Another euphemism
Just a bit confused about this sudden influx
Of masonry and stones
There's some nice ones
I'm just wondering if someone spread them on here
To replenish the supply
Or whether someone's pulling my
Throwing my stones back
It's very strange
I don't, I think they must have come off a
Off a truck
This here, look at the size of this baby
Poor
That was kind of them
I'm going to leave some of them just in case
They're right there for a reason
Because they don't feel, they feel like
Some kind of stone starzy trap
Rather than something I should
Be worrying myself about
It could just be they've all been tossed up by
The plough but they weren't here last week
And also they're all really just on top of the ground
It feels like a trap
Or if we see any grabs
She's doing a wee
Just full of effluent this girl
Oh and there is a bit more
I think maybe they've just cut up
There's a bit more of the ground
Has been cut up here
As we move onwards
Unless stones scatter and scattered here
I mean if the farmer's going to keep putting
Stones on
That's going to make my job a lot harder
So onwards
Onwards and upwards
There's some missing there
So there was some under that
Under that seat and they're all gone
So maybe someone has put it upon themselves
To have them do my work
But that won't stop me
Just more stones to clear
More stones to clear
Let's have a look at the can
In the corner of the field
That's looking
It's hard to say
Looking fairly good
I hope they haven't destroyed my main can
Whoever's done this evil work
It's
Stone stars are getting a little bolder
They think they've pinned it on me
But
They'll never catch me
Anyway this bit looks normal
Just regular stones scattered
That one went right down the bank
No stone stars inside again
With the whole of last week's
Expedition and just Bill Woddy
Turned up at the end, didn't he?
But
That's done
That was a beach
I was just a beach
One beach of survival
It's off the field now
I guess I always knew it was a possibility
That someone would try to undo the work
But don't they know not what they do?
It'll be very bad for the local area
This one day will be an amazing tourist spot
Of course, people come from miles around
To see what I have done
What I have wrought
But
There's always going to be vandals
Their work can quickly be undone
I have more patience than they will ever have
And it's actually a pleasure to
Re-clear the bigger stones
This is looking a bit empty of stones up this bit
I mean if you were going to chuck some stones on
I'd put them up here
But
It's not what the stones down there have dictated
It's not a dog poo, right?
It's a dog poo in my pocket
So, yeah, well
It's been quite a year for me so far
I can't believe we're halfway through April
I guess
I've lost a little time
As well as a little piece of myself
And all I really think about is the
The stones I could have cleared in that time
That's my only regret
Stone stars remember in the distance on the path
I think heading in the other direction
So there are people out here
Maybe they've gone to sort of technical surveillance
Maybe they used the time
I was away to institute
A different way of observing me
Or maybe they've just thought
This over is whoever it was has gone
We can relax
A bit of the...
Oh, that one's going into the singing ring entry
And a nice bit of Roman villa hill
That's a huge chunk of Roman villa
That's going into the singing ring entry as well
Around the field we go
Where it stops, nobody knows
No fairy folk today
And a good day, I'm feeling pretty fit
I've done a couple of runs
Good I've got your fitness pack up
I thought it would take longer
Because nice round, stretched egg shapes
And a nice girth to it
A nice bit of hunk on it
But surprisingly quickly
I've managed to get back into
What feels regular fitness
I've run 4k
Don't have a lot of long walks
Some stone stars
The king of the stone stars
All the Labradors
I think he's heading in the wrong direction
On the wrong field
Maybe having moved
The retention to that field
I think they've sorted this one out
And we plow
Wolfie's on the lead today
She's been a little bit
A couple of nice stones
On her, a little mini kind of elephant there
She's been a bit feisty
Since she came back
I think a little bit confused
She's settling back in
She's away for 2 months
With my in-laws
She missed the stone filling as much as me
She likes putting them back
But I wouldn't be surprised if it was her
That's come as we last couple of months
And just put them back one by one with her
Dog mouth
So we'll get back and monitor the stringer
This as we go
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
So we'll get back
I'm going to silence this
Our friend sometimes be silent
Just smells a dog pee
And that's no good is it
Right we're up to the corner of the field
Surprisingly little in the way of stones here
But loads of the tiny stones
Just chuck one off
And we're getting close to episode 100
Chapter 100 I should say
So the lessons will ramp up
In difficulty
Very soon
We're still on the
In the intermediate level here
And I think it takes 100 chapters
To really even just start
To get to grips with what's going on here
Over the next 100
Over the next 100
I can start giving you some tips
That's swiping more complex
Just a lot of medium sized stones here
A little bit of red plastic
I'm not going to get involved with that
A little bit of throwing
Test the stitches
And on to the hard
Baked path that leads to the
Central can
I'm only in the
Sun Scatter across the top
Gettable from here
Still one goes flying
Into the edge row
There we go
I picked this baby up
Quite a long way away
But that's a nice little hand sized stone
Just picked me to be in the palm of my hand
My tiny hand
Red-hatted stone stars
With a dog wearing
A matching necktie for a red
Coming round
A bit too late around the field
Maybe a trump supporter
It's a terrible thing
If the stone stars
Have merged
With the trump fans
And we could be in a lot of trouble
That would explain the weird occurrences
We've already seen here today
This is very interesting
That's our domes
I'm having to pass a lot of insolence here
Because the red-hatted
Is trying to make
The field great again
He's
Ironically a trump fan trying to stop me
Building a wall
And that's the delicious iron
Looking way at me
If I was way in some way
Come on over
Come on
I've just got my one mill stone with me
That I've carried three quarters of the way
Across the field
I thought it was close to the edge
It's going to take pride in placing the hurdle
This guy is going to come out
I'm wearing a trainess today
It's so dry
I was going to come out with that coat
Oh, another stone star is he wearing an orange coat
A dog the size of a small cow
And judging from this distance
Again, I'm not really
Going to give him any bother
And that
My central came looking good
Two more stones and another stone star is he
In the wrong place
They're
Assembled
They're confused
They're forgetting how to do this
And they're missing out quite badly
Sounds a bit me
And we follow the pilgrim trail that's been here
For 10,000 years
Leaving to the
Stone Pole
The pilgrim trail leading to the
Dominic Cummings Monument
Memorial Cain at Cannes Fat Sandwich Fages
And gone
It just shows how
Different saints have generated at different times
Dominic Cummings was a big deal last year
This year
The pilgrim is not interested
Maybe they've seen through
What he was
Who he'd become
Nice, very much like
A couple of good slingshots here
And put in mind of King David
Very good stone clearer
Actually only killed Goliath
He was just clearing stones
From a distance using a sling
Goliath got in the way
The rest is
History at all
And the big dog
The big cow shaped sized dog
Actually bound him around quite quickly
Orange jacket
They're wearing very
If they do go this way this could
They don't get off this could
Impede on the
I think he's coming this way
They're good well played
Hell, there's someone else coming in as well
There's something for chat
This could be my moment
Well, they're doing better
Than I thought
Stone Starzy
Actually just ruined everything
Couldn't actually stop me doing the stone coal
But I think I'm going to do it quickly
As long as this conversation lasts a little while
I've got my 5 bits of ammo
I think I did 4 out of 5
Ah, no he's coming
No, he's going back
Nuts, nuts, whole hazel nuts
I'm going to have a look at the Dominic Cummings cane
I think someone might have destroyed it
There are more stones here
Scattered on the field
Ah, this is a sad day for stone clearing
Dominic Cummings cane
Destroyed
Yeah
Jesus
I'm going to go hide in the woods until this guy goes past
Hope he doesn't come off in here
Ah, well that's very sad news
I'm a bit nervous about going to look at the main cane now
Well it's terribly sad isn't it
Somebody has taken upon themselves
To undo my work
I worked for 2 years
And I've done
Drunk in a few minutes
Has he gone by?
Has he stopped again?
Well you know I've had cancer this year
And this is
Actually worse than cancer
What's happened today on the field
Very very upsetting
Very upsetting for Dominic Cummings
What's he done to deserve that?
What's happened to his scarf that was there?
Has that guy gone past?
The scarf is hanging in the
Yeah it's gone past the scarf
Hanging in the tree next to it
Wow
Super sad
And I think they've actually moved all the stones
From around the stone pole
Which is incredibly bad luck
But also gives me lots of ammunition for future goes
So that's not so bad
Those are big ones
Let's go to the stone pole
Very upsetting out here
1 out of 1
1 out of 2
3
2 out of 4
3
Out of 5
It's a lucky day
And the chappaturi think stones back off the field
It won't take me long to repair this damage
But
It's still quite annoying
Oh
That and the day had to come
I mean the stone stars
They've been playing it quite cool really
When you think about it
When throwing stones back is quite an obvious
way of progressing
What are we going to see up here?
Is that the glint of stones
By my
Main can
Ah
This will board another
Dog coming this way
Not only are they destroying my work
They're plaguing me with
Dogs, I don't like the look of the number of stones
On this
Just by the main can
I'm going to get out into the field
To get out the way of this dog
That's the one with
The
The red and the chivo
Oh yes it's the
Ah no
Come on
Come on Wolves
Come on
Yeah
I'm alright, how are you?
Good
A little bit
But I'm feeling not better
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no it should be fine
It's a little
A little snip
And then hopefully it's all out
Yeah
Come on Wolves
Come on Wolves
Alright we've got to take a picture of this
Oh man
That's just
Absolutely heart breaking
Still some stones there
But it's right back to the basics
And someone's just
Chapped all these stones
Now it's nice that
Stone Star's a guy to
Inquire after my health
I'm going to start putting these back
Because
You know
We can play this game forever, can't we?
Next time I'm going to take the stones off the field
We're going to go back
Well
No, my heart's broken here guys
This is an act of war
And I would just imagine
Unless it is the farmer doing it himself
But this would be incredibly annoying
In terms of
Attempting to drive his vehicles
Around this part of the field
But maybe I'm wrong
Oh man
There's some beauties out here
It's nice to see them again
They've chopped them all over as well
It's nice work from this
Furious
Person
And you can hear from my silence
How upset I am by this
It's just
That it's the same as people going to art galleries
Deciding to
Draw
And paper and painting
Smash sculptures
You know
It's just that it's the same as people going to art galleries
Deciding to
Draw
And paper and painting
Smash sculptures
Shoot at sculptures
Come on
We'll get these another day
Heading down
Well
Who would have thought it
Who would have thought it would come to this
I
I hope the dish that stopped brexit is still
In one piece
it'll be harder to do that you'd need to go into a ditch to get those out and
they're much smaller stones it's really the big stones that have been chucked
back on. Of course I'm doing the work of Michael as well, desecrating the work of
a dead man who thought he's, he'll be remembered for all time, breaks a ditch, still looks okay to be for that, so that's okay a couple more going there.
Wow, I don't even know if I've got the energy to read our emails after this.
They've worked hard there, quite a lot of work someone's put in to do this, so slightly terrifying for me.
Good, right here we are, this is the Alpha and Omega Can, could this be the end of stone clearing as we know it?
Perhaps it could.
We're down Duckett's Passage now, we're off the field, let's have a look at the emails.
I don't know emails have come in this week, so I've got to remember I've got a big un-pushet in my pocket and I think I'll take that to the dog poo bin, the responsible dog in there.
Heartbreaking, heartbreaking episode of the heartbreaking chapter, heartbreaking undoing, it's almost like my life will now be meaningless, what have I left behind if I don't have my cans?
Nothing.
Well, I think we'll leave it there, kids have two to accept to carry on.
Do take care of yourselves, obviously unless you can afford security for your field, this could happen to any of you.
I suppose it's a single lesson, it's a lesson that I wouldn't like to have put later in the chapters.
I don't want to put off any newbies, they were only just tuned into 94 episodes, but this can happen.
You have to do your best, you have to do your best.
Alright, enjoy your stone clearing, see you next, it applicable.
Don't listen to the birds and trees, don't listen to your underpants, listen to the stone, listen to the stone,
and they in turn, I'll listen to you, my friend, my pine twend.
Stone Clearing with Richard Herring starred me, Richard Herring and Wolfie the Dog, and that nice Trump man who was concerned about my health and some other people and a horrible vandal.
The music is by Mike Coffgrave, the voice of The Tones is Michael Faheen.
Don't listen to the birds and trees, don't listen to your underpants, listen to the stone, listen to the stone,
don't listen to the birds and trees, don't listen to your underpants, listen to the stone, listen to the stone,
and they in turn, I'll listen to you, my friend, my pine twend.
