The best time in the morning when all you can hear is bird song and no people!! Fantastic. 😊 did I mention I was an introvert.

@sharonholding5982 2 года назад

Love this Vlog, In between the setting up camp, riding a tractor, paying respects to Fanny Adams, a beautiful tour of Alton. Thank you, hugs to Lovely Julia. Thanks to Ian for graciously allowing camping on his land. What a neat guy. ✌

A magical early morning bird song, fascinating story about Fanny Adams and tilling the land. What could be better, brilliant video, look forward to more.

Hi Richard and Julia, birdsong and nature, what wonderful sounds to wake up to! What a terribly sad story of Sweet Fanny Adams, it was very thoughtful that you visited her gravesite and she hasn't been forgotten. How very kind of Ian to let you use some of his land, that sounds wonderful, good luck! Looking forward to following the journey! Thank you for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay well! Much love Kathy x 💖

Excellent vlog! A little bit of travel, some local history, some farming. So nice to get out in the country and listen to nature. The background music is perfect. Hope we get to see more of Alton. It looks like a very interesting village. I totally agree with you Richard, we have a house in the country and most days all we hear are the birds and the cows next door. We can hardly wait for you to take us back to the country again. What a friend you have in Ian to loan you two the use of a bit of his land. Carry on...

I should imagine that you are glad buying the van and being able to do this. Perfect morning for waking up and escaping from the sounds of others. It's times like this that makes you notice just how noisy it is in the town. Ian's field, a brilliant location.

Enjoyed this one Richard, Ian & the lovely Julia. Especially seeing the Tractor in action. Look forward to follow ups. Selborne, Chawton & Alton have so much to offer. What a sad tale of Fanny Adams may she RIP.

@kezzaba1 2 года назад

What a great video. Glad you enjoyed the birdsong. I have a bad back at the moment and when we go for a walk Pete carries a fold up chair so I can sit for a bit and rest it. We sat in a wood yesterday and the birdsong was raucous but lovely. The story of Fanny Adams is so sad, interesting to see her grave. I look forward to seeing your progress on the field. Thank you Ian!

What a lovely start to the morning, so peaceful and the early morning due and mist, great tractor driving skills, great museum, I love museums, was there a gift shop ? Amazing houses and thatched house, such a sad sad story about poor sweet fanny Adams. RIP Fanny, I hope your resting in peace. Great video Richard Julia and Ian.

@steadynumber1 2 года назад

We used to have rectangular metal buckets in the Royal Navy colloquially known as 'fannies.' They were well used in ships mess decks to carry hot water, and/or for washing the crockery. Their history goes back to the time of the gruesome murder. God bless the young innocent lass. Thanks for sharing your Easter adventure.

@chrischeltenham 2 года назад

This was a great varied video. The morning in the field looked and sounded wonderful something to really make you appreciate wildlife. Julia is a natural on the tractor as are you and your skills will get better with time. It is a sad story about Fanny Adams but nice to see people are still paying their respects at the grave. Ian is super kind to allow you and Julia to use part of his field for testing out growing and I look forward to harvesting time.

Thank you Richard and Julia. Here on the other side of the world I truly appreciate that although being in a city (Sydney), I'mon the edge of a National Park, and the fantastic wildlife, including the incredible birds. I've got to know a bunch of UK electricians visa YT and share the videos of my feathered friends with them. Many years ago I was able to go camping and seeing the stars at night and the birdsong in the morning. Truly wonderful.

I'm looking forward to seeing the wheat crop and the fruit trees, lovley video with lovely people🥰

@rachelgregorytheartist 2 года назад

Love this video brings back so many memories of Alton and Selborne. The tractor driving and plans for the land were so interesting to watch. My parents got married in that church in Alton and my Grandpa lived his whole life there and is in the same cemetery as dear Fanny Adams. Bought a tear to my eye when the lovely Julia put her daisy chain on the headstone. Thank you for sharing.

@MrGreatplum 2 года назад

How generous of Ian - hope it all grows well! The fruit trees will probably take about 3 years before any fruit. Has the rotovating done enough to remove the weeds? At the demolition site, the “misting” is to dampen down the dust. :)

@andrewnorris2 2 года назад

Ian was a great sport to let you drive the tractor, again! And, allow you to use part of his land. Love the tour to Alton but what a tragic story. It does make me despair sometimes at the motivation of people, usually men, towards our fellow humans. Lovely idea to grow your own wheat. I hope you'll mill it yourselves!

Julia is a natural on the tractor! Thank you for the story of sweet Fanny Adams, I wondered where that saying came from, such a sad story though and I will remember that. Very enjoyable video, and so kind of Ian to allow you a patch of experimental land to have a go at growing your heritage wheat.

What a decent gent Ian is. Will look forward to more Vlogs on Iansfield (pop. currently 0!). Nice views on Chalton and Alton; large landmark has gone with the demolition of the old Bass/Coors brewery . I must go and visit Curtis Museum again. Horrific story on Sweet FA. I did go past Iansfield gateway on Good Friday and wondered if you were there but did not see anything. Hawkley area is such a lovey area full of wildlife and gorgeous views. If you are still after places to visit recommend Upper reaches of the river Itchen beyond Winchester - thatched cottages abound! Chalk uplands to North-West of Alton - The church at Bentworth - v.interesting. Dunsfold and Dunsfold church in Surrey - you've probably been there already guessing!

I've been Hawkley way recently to check out a running leg of the Emsworth to Basingstoke (Vann Farm to Charity Farm Via Noar Hill) in Mid May and to work at three routes for a pub run from The Spread Eagle but know the area pretty well from previous visits - my early life was in Liss but now in Trotton (between Rogate and Midhurst). Always love coming out to the area; so will be back and will look to see if your spiky top gate is open when passing. Thanks for all your kindness to Richard.

@sandrapearson728 2 года назад

Having lived in Alton for many years, there were parts of the story I didn’t recognise. Fanny and her friends were playing in Flood Meadows, I have never heard about her being decapitated. The source of Sweet Fanny Adams meaning nothing was from sailors likening their meat rations with what little of her remained. An incredibly sad story. It is lovely that locals raised funds to restore her headstone. Years ago it was barely legible.

@jamessmith7922 2 года назад

Taking your point about buying a field, for over a year now a field has come up for sale in Sidlesham parish which would be great as a rewilding project and series of small allotments. There is a plot of 31 acres and a smaller plot of less than an acre. Perhaps this represents an opportunity to pool resources and crowdfund a community Jubilee wood/allotment/campsite that could be enjoyed by all for generations?

@zerog5993 2 года назад

A small tip when driving a tractor, as you saw at the back of the tractor there is a mechanism for connecting various machinery and taking the power off the main engine Power Take Off (PTO), the frame work for carrying the various machinery is known as the the three point linkage. I noticed in the video the three point linkage almost dragging along the ground, so it's always a good idea to check the linkage has been hydraulically lifted before moving off. Apart from that Carry On Regardless - "you're approaching Strong Country"!

@urbanrider429 2 года назад

Great video guys,Julia needs a tractor.Her lines are straighter than one mr clarkson.

@bullettube9863 2 года назад

I don't know about tilling a field of grass, the clumps are just going to regrow even better now. Normally you would use a bottom plow and bury the grass deeply to prevent it growing back again. Then run a harrow over the turned over soil to break up any clumps prior to planting. Unlike some crops, wheat can't compete against weeds and grass very well.

@JuliaHartley 2 года назад

Incredibly luckily for us Ian has plans to work on it more before we get back to the field. Plus, this patch is for the wild flower meadow rather than crops 🙂
