Excellent, good vid, can you do a banjo song in its entirety

[wyenotnews]

@SlingBanditMan Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I'll film a whole song next time I visit the cider cellar and John takes his banjo. I just filmed enough of this one to edit into the film.

I am the same Alan, I hate to listen to my own voice, but you can forget that because this whole video is perfect.

From start to end, it is just perfect.

Thank you very much Rob. I remember the shock of when I first heard my own voice. It was when I was nearly 5 years old and sang a Christmas carol (under pressure) at my first school in 1958 and the school recorded it. 'That's not me!' I demanded, when they played it back. I remember it like it was yesterday. How I wish I still had that recording.

Hi Alan, Just wanted to say that I have watched all the films on the site and they are quite exceptional and very very enjoyable as well as inspiring us to come and spend some time looking around the area. We will be there in March finding all these places for ourselves. Choice of music for each film very well matched and added to the atmospheric tone. Can't wait to sip the local cider too! You are very talented -Thank you - Colin in Cornwall

Hi Colin, Thank you verry much for your nice comment and when you are in the area, you are welcome to look me up, if you have time. Perhaps we could meet at Ross Cider :-)

[colinreed46]

Hi Alan,

Thanks yes Ross Farm is definitely somewhere we will go and have a sup of the old apple juice! Would be good to meet you and buy you a cider or three!

Will probably come up on Thursday 25th March for 3 or 4 days. We'll hire a cottage or stay in a guest house near Ross. I'll be in touch nearer the time.

We had a lovely walk around the old town of Lostwithiel today and went up to Restormel castle. Just the sort of place I would have thought would have had you with your camera out.

I look forward to seeing you Colin. I remember Lostwithiel from a London to Lands End and back bike ride I did as a 15 year old boy. I love Cornwall but haven't been for at lease 15 years now. I must go back there for a tour.

Captivating, atmospheric, you don't feel like you're watching a changing of the seasons on film. You feel you are actually there. Quality video making that should be picked up by the BBC or suchlike to show in their wildlife programmes.

I'm Allowed to say i'm biased 'cos Alan is my bro but to quote a source "It's a good one innit"?

Thanks Jan.

Very nice video. Love the snow scenes. Don't get enough of that down here on the South Downs. Beautiful to here the birds singing too.

[wyenotnews]

Thank you very much. Snow is not that common here either, unfortunately - maybe a day per year. I sieze the opportunity film it whenever I can. I remember a lot more as a child but that was in Essex.

Alan this is utterly gorgeous.

A stunning piece of work.

Don't worry about your voice it sounds perfect.

This reminds me of something that John Betjeman might have done.

Five stars plus !!!!!

[wyenotnews]

Thank you for the compliments Steve. I nearly said sand martinGs :-) and had to record Autumn onwards twice because my printer started up all by itself during the first recording and made a noise.

[rossrabbits]

One of your best videos yet!

[wyenotnews]

Thank you Karen! Glad you like it.

[MrReggub]

Hi, Alan, an excellent sequence, well put together with appropriate voice over and music.

MikeA.

[wyenotnews]

Thanks Mike. I think the voiceover helps but I don't like hearing my voice recorded - guess nobody does.

[deeprock2009]

excellent job Alan. great to see a wood full of bluebells. Looks a brilliant area for filming. Great work.
